weekly summary: Harry is introduce to the ministry of magic

weekly thought: Harry is a very unique character to me. Harry is like any ordinary 15 year old boy but his magic makes him very different in the muggle world. But like any teenager, Harry deals with a lot of stress lately. Teenagers are stress due to many things. For example, school is a reason teenagers are stress out. I know school stresses me out because everyday i worry about my school work. Everyday i think about what i'm going to do tomorrow. Will there be a pop quiz tomorrow? Stuff like that. I know being stressful is unhealthy, but i can't stop it. I'm always stress. Every one can not avoid being stress. A lot of things can make you stressful. It doesnt have to be school. It can be your friends or maybe yourself that makes you stress out.

weekly summary: TR and some of his crews survive and return back home

weekly thought: As i finished this novel, i am amaze at TR's determination to live. Although TR has alot of obstacles in his way such as hunger, he did not give up so easily. Because of this, TR is one of my favorite presidents. His determination to live brings him home. His courage is unmatchable.TR's courage reminds me of my cousin who is not afraid of anthing. For example, there was one time when this guy in school insulted his friend. My cousin knew the guy was huge but thats did not scare him. His courage to stand up for his friend makes him an awesome person in my book and also makes me respect him even more. i look up to him.

weekly summary - some of the TR's crew died.

weekly thought- "Never give up" is what i would say to the crew. I believe they need to keep on fighting. If they just give up then they would die. if they kept on fighting , they may die. However, at least they tried. People should never give up so easily when they are in a tight situation. For instance, my grandmother have cancer but that doesnt slow her down. She always go around her neighborhood to exercise. she knows that if she just lay in her house not doing anything she will die. So by doing exercises and watching her diet, she can slow down the cancer's progress. She knows if she never give up, she might have a chance to survive from the cancer. If you talked about death to her, it doesn't bother her at all. This shows how strong she is and i respect that.

weekly summary - Teddy Roosevelt and the crew are fighting for survival.

weekly thought - What i like about this part of the novel is teamwork. When you are working in a group, it is very crucial to work together. For example, in our english class, we have groups for our reading assignments. With people banding together, it makes it easier for all of us to learn and helps us prepare for our upcoming essay. If a person doesn't cooperate, then all is lost. People that don't cooperate are the ones who don't like any help from others. They believe they can do it by themselves. In my opinion, the ones who don't cooperate will not be successful. For instance, some people( not pointing finger at anyone) in the groups don't bother helping others in their group. Not only they are hurting their teammate/group members' grade, they also hurting theirs.
