Harry Potter Island Dialectical Journal
Day 2

It was his second day being in this outlandish place, he already fought with Charlie, befriended spiders, and built up a cosy yet unfinished base camp. In addition to that, he discovered a new way to live via his body and his mind - it has been quite an absurd time for him. In order to prevent what happened previously, he initiated picking up an array of resources around him such as flint, rocks, and twigs. He paused to study the flint and twigs, his drive incurred him to craft a pickaxe, and soon after he has a fine looking pickaxe.

Rocks will be ours!

Webber blissfully moves further away from his base camp, he took anything he could grab, and searched for big rocks. He spotted a few big rocks near some rabbit holes - he held his pickaxe and began mining the rocks apace. The pickaxe broke

He may look, feel, and act like a monster but in his core, he had some humanity left. He opened his backpack and laid it on the ground - observing what he had, he decided to craft a torch and he put his backpack back on. He lit a nearby tree, it was burning, and he was mesmerised until the tree burned down. Black charcoal was dropped and it urged him to burn more trees, the trees kept dropping charcoal.

He shoved the charcoal into his backpack and headed to his base camp, he needed to make a science machine in order to craft new and useful items. He was still holding the torch which alarmed nearby animals such as birds, rabbits, and even his own. The torch steadily dimmed as he walked, he had no more use of it, and threw the burned unusable torch away. He felt intelligent for surviving this long and knew he was equipped to manage building a science machine. For hours, he focused on building the science machine and when it was done, he took his work in proudly with his hands on his hips.

It’s like a science lab in

    The non for profit organization known as the Harry Potter Alliance (HPA), is a group of human activists seeking social change through the power of fantasy. This organization in its entirety is primarily composed of Harry Potter fans, hence the name: Harry Potter Alliance. This group was founded by a comedian by the name of Andrew Slack in 2005; who brought forth the idea of using a fantasy such as Harry Potter as a way of encompassing change. The main focus of this organization is the annihilation of human rights violations. For example in 2010, the HPA initialized the campaign known as “Not In Harry’s Name” where they encouraged Harry Potter fans to sign a petition influencing Warner Bros. to source their cocoa for Harry Potter branded chocolate…

    He smoked his last cigarette… As Nat's wife is trying to put the children to sleep, Nat decided to try the wireless one more time to see if there might be any broadcast. "What are you doing?" Nat's wife asked Nat, "I'm checking the wireless one last time for any broadcast" All to be heard from the small speaker was a scratchy irritating noise, "Nothing." After the children fell asleep, Nat and his wife were discussing what they were going to do, when suddenly the noise of the birds stopped. Realizing that the tide had risen, Nat got his shoes on and prepared another trip to the Triggs farm for some more supplies. On his drive over he heard a soft humming noise coming from the east. After a few minutes had passed, the noise had grown…

    This sentence has negative and a happy tone at the same time. Bradbury makes the character sound like he 's evil or perhaps has a lot of things to hide, considering that snakes in general slither around and seem to hide themselves. Yet, he has no remorse for what he was doing either with the included phrase, "and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies. I predict that this person is doing this as it was he 's job. I also wonder why he is burning whatever he was trying to get rid of. This reminds me of a firefighter because of the way the author is describing what this person was doing, but instead of water it is kerosene. Maybe this person 's job was to purify the area in the society by burning it.…

    As the story progressed, the line that draws the boundaries between the world of instinct and savagery contrast to the world of reasoning and civilization begins to fade. The death of Simon was meant to show the loss of peace and order as he was the only one on the island who was not afraid of “the beast” and was able to live with his mind at peace and think rationally based on reason, not instinct. I felt that the cruel fate that Simon had to endure was unnecessary brutal but I do see why the author incorporated it to get his point across, although I was a bit disturbed. I felt that the way Simon died was unrealistically brutal and I understand that it was meant to display the instinctive and animalistic behaviour of the boys when they were…

    It’s a normal day, just getting off of work and smelling the perfume. I have loved how the kerosene smells on me. I was a fireman, a fireman who burned books for a living. I followed in my family’s footsteps and became a fireman, that only burnt books. Which soon turned into having to burn buildings because they contained books. Paper burned at 451 degrees fahrenheit. Burning books always seemed to make me happy. Ray Bradbury wanted people to know the good between bad. There were some very nice helpful people in the society along with some people who were mean and rude like Beaty.…
