 * January 5, 2010. Last blog of the semester: **

Alright! Emily Jacobson coming at you from her blog page! Well first off I've taken a break from the Harry Potter series. I got a book for christmas called The Year I Turned Sixteen by Diane Schwemm. Ironically enough I turn sixteen this month. So laughed when I opened it up christmas morning. But basically this book is a teenage drama. It's actually about four different girls but they're all sisters; Rose: 16, Daisy: 13, Laurel: 10, and Lily: 8. Right now I'm on the Rose section in the book. Rose has broken up with a really cool guy and now, about three weeks later, she has wondered if she made a mistake. See Rose's family isn't exactly the most wealthy family and her ex-boyfriends family is rich. This was one of the reasons why she broke up with him, because she thought that she wasn't good enough for his "high-class" society. What she doesn't realize though is that Stephen, her ex, really does care about HER not if her family's rich or not. But that pretty much has rapped up what I've read so far.

It's honestly been a bit of a challenge to do these blogs on the internet. I don't have any internet at my home or a computer and there's not many places I can go to do my blogs but I've gotten them all done. :) Other then that detail, I think that online blogs have been a great way to develop typing skills and use of new technology. Also it helps to learn about other good books that people are reading.

** Hello again! :) once again this blog is going to be about Harry Potter because i am weird and like to read Harry Potter and watch the movies and just be an over all Harry Potter fanatic! But anyway you probably want to hear about the recent Harry Potter adventure. Well I'm reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire by J.K. Rowling. Right now I'm at the part where the four champions have just learned about the third task and Harry and Krum have found Mr. Crouch at the edge of the forbidden forest. Considering Mr. Crouch has been "ill" for several weeks, this came as a bit of a surprise to Harry and Krum. Also Mr. Crouch was a judge for the Triwizard Tournament but Percy Weasley has been filling in for him. In this book i really think the characters start to show more maturity. They are growing up and they show it. You can also tell Hermoine and Ron have a thing for eachother even though they cant stand each other most of the time. This also shows how the characters are maturing. While reading this i noticed a lot of things that were not in the movie that should've been. There are important things in the book like the deal with the house-elves that should have been in the movie. Well that's all for today. hope you enjoyed it. bye bye! **

Hello! I finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azcaban and I am now reading the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, by J.K. Rowling obviously. So far Harry has gone to the quidditch world cup. He felt so good knowing that he was leaving the Dursley's early to go and stay with his best friend Ron Weasley. I would to if I lived with a family like that. Jeez! But going to the world cup with Ron made everything even better because for one, he has never been to a professional quidditch match and he gets to go with his best friend. Things turned out pretty well until after the match when they all went to bed. About a couple of hours after everyone fell asleep, there was a commotion outside. There were death eaters every where threatening the muggle care takers of the camp site. They were making the muggles float about 60 feet of the ground threatening to drop them. I honestly dont understand why these wizards dont just except the fact that they have to share a world with people just like them but with no special powers/talents. I think its very stupid! But right now in the book they are just arriving back at the burrow. Mrs. Weasley got the news, and was worried sick about all of them. I hope the rest of the book is this good! peace out until next time! :P

I am still currently reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling. I am reading this book because I just would like to read it and finish the whole series. This series has been recommended by basically all my friend who have read these books so I'd thought I would follow in their footsteps. Whats been happening so far is that Harry has been under a lot of stress with Sirius Black going in and out of the school and almost killing Harry's best friend. Speaking of Harry's best friend... Ron Weasley is having a terrible time and so is Hermoine Granger. Hermoine's cat, Crookshanks, has appaerntly "eaten" Scabbers, Ron's rat. He has been giving her all sorts of crap about it and hasn't been talking to her barely at all because he's been rather angry. Hermoine has been so stressed with her classes so Ron being like he is is making her cry. As for Harry, well he's kind of stuck in between the both of them and isn't very sure what he should do. Personally I think that Ron should just talk to Hermoine again because this is getting a bit ridiculous. It's in a cats nature to hunt and eat rodents. I dont see why he wont let it go. But this is all i have read so far so i will talk more about the book in my next blog if im not done reading it.

My name is Emily Jacobson. I just got done reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone by J.K. Rowling. This is my book that i have already read a thousand times. I chose this book though because I've made it a goal to read the whole Harry Potter series before school is over. Yes i know i haven't read the whole series yet! Its surprising right? Well anyway i think its really redundant to tell you about Harry potter but oh well! :) This book is about a boy named Harry Potter obviously and it basically tells how he finds out hes a wizard. But he's not just any wizard. Hes famous because he "defeated" the dark lord Voldemort. Which is why he has a lightning shaped scar on his forehead. The rest of the book is telling the story of how he is learning all of these spells and enchantments and it tells how he makes new friends like Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger. Towards the end they embark on a small adventure on the third floor of the school where they have to stop someone from stealing the powerfull sorcerers stone. I really recomend this book! :)

Hello, My name is Emily Jacobson, and Im reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling. I am reading this for my free reading in English 2b. As I said in my previous blog, it is my goal to read and finish the Harry Potter series this year so here i am reading the third book of the series. In this book of the series a mass murderer, Sirius Black, has escaped from Azkaban prison. This prison is supposed to be the most high security prison in the wizarding world. No one is supposed to escape from it... Until now! Harry Potter has been going to the school called Hogwarts. This would be his third year learning magic. But when Harry can't go anywhere he gets suspicious and finds out that Sirius is after him for what, so far, he doesn't know. Right now I am at the part where the fat lady of the grifyndor port hole is basically scared to death by Sirius black trying to get into the tower. I think this is a very good book because it entertains m. It doesnt really have a lesson but it gets my mind off of things i dont want to think about. :)
