Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

823 R884hs 1998 c.1

The third book that I read was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
This book talks about a boy who is a wizard, and he is so importart in the wizard’s world. The name of the boy is Harry Potter and he is important, because when he was a child a wicked wizard killed his parents and at the same time this wizard tried to kill him, but it didn’t happen, and nobody knew why Voldemort, the wicked wizard, couldn’t kill him. This fact caused that Harry was famous and also he was called “the guy who lived”.

When Harry was eleven years old, he lived a lot of exciting experiences, because he didn’t know he was a wizard. Since he was 1 years old he lived with his relatives and then he went to a magic school called Howarts. One of the rules that a student had in the school was they couldn’t go to the third floor.

One day Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione went to the third floor and they found a dog with three heads that was standing over something. The guys thought that something was hidden in the school, so they decided investigate what thing it was. They discovered that a powerful stone was hidden in the school, but worse than that, one of the teachers was trying to steal the stone.

Harry, Ron and Hermione decided to go to the third floor and during this crossing, Harry stayed alone with his teacher, Mr. Quirrell. Unfortunately, in that room was Voldermort as well. Voldemort was hidden in the head of the teacher, and they were trying to steal the stone, because this stone would help Voldemort to be immortal.
Harry and Voldemort fought and then Voldemort disappear. After that, Harry was in the sickbay and Dumbledore told him that stone had been destroyed.

It was a strange, but at the same time an exciting year for Harry, and he just wanted to learn more things in the next year.

My country

I think that the feeling of Chilean identity everyday is less, because of all the problems and inequality that our country has. For example, there are people especially poor and native people who don’t feel they are part in our society. Sometimes it’s because they don’t have money or they are only different.
Nowadays, people are not informed about our native culture and that’s the reason why sometimes we discriminate the different ethnic groups, and also we don’t respect the thinking of that people.
For example, at school teachers teach us some special things about mapuches, but no more than that, and it’s really important we realize that native cultures are an important part in our national identity.
Apart from that, there are things that really like me about my country, for example: despite of all the mistakes that we make, we are happy, in some cases united, and that are things that we have to improve everyday apart from being more conscious about our problems related to inequality.
On the other hand, one thing that really disappoints me is the education, and education is totally related to create conscious. I think that if we want to be a better country, and also we want to have a better life quality and being more equal, we have to improve the education.
In this bicentenary, we have to put new goals to be better everyday.

Como agua para chocolate.

The book that I read is called “Como agua para chocolate”, by Laura Esquivel. The story talks about the life and the forbidden love of Tita and Pedro, the main characters.
Tita and Pedro are not allowed to get married, because Tita has to look after her mother until she dies. I think that Laura Esquivel did a very good job writing this book, because through it, we can feel almost all the things that the characters are feeling.
I’m really convinced that the author could reach her goal with this book, because I can imagine all the things that the book tries to show us, for example: a forbidden love, sadness, anger, desire and in the final of the story satisfaction due to they could be together despite of the years.
I can’t find a relationship between the title of the book and the story, it’s a little bit complicated give an interpretation, but like in the book said, the love between Tita and Pedro is like “agua y chocolate”.
Apart from that, I could learn something reading this book and this is that we don’t have to private the real love between two people, but more than that; if we have children, we don’t have to repress what they feel.

To sum up, I recommend this book, because it’s easy to understand and at the same time it’s a love story that shows the real love between two people. Also this story shows us that when two people are feeling real love, they can do everything they want for reach the most special thing, being with the loved one.
