The reason I chose to read this book is because I have already seen all the Harry Potter movies and wanted to try the first book to compare them.]]> 2020-10-27 02:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/864218991 emdemarte1 https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/864240507 The entire Harry Potter series is written by J.K Rowling, who is a now famous author due to creating the Harry Potter stories. She has written other books but none as famous or well know as Harry Potter. I haven't read any of her other books but would be interested to try one of them.]]> 2020-10-27 03:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/864240507 emdemarte1 https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/864284658 A character that I find interesting in Harry Potter is Ron Weasley. He is the second youngest of his 6 siblings. Ron is a nice and funny character who becomes Harry's best friend on their way to Hogwarts. He stays friends with Harry all throughout the time at Hogwarts and Ron proves to be crucial in the story while helping Harry on his many adventures.]]> 2020-10-27 03:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/864284658 emdemarte1 https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/891693077 #1. We no little to nothing about the speaker in my book because it is a 3rd person omniscient narrator. There is no info on the narrator, it is quite literally just a voice telling the story. The narrator focuses mostly on Harry but also switches to giving info on other places, people, and things from time to time.

#2 "In the back of the shop, a boy with a pale, pointed face was standing on a footstool while a second witch pinned up his long black robes. Madam Malkin stood Harry on a stool next to him, slipped a long robe over his head, and began to pin it to the right length." (page 77)

The main overarching conflict of the story hasn't been revealed yet but the smaller conflicts along the way provide a lot of character building and create a stronger connection between the story and the reader. One of the conflicts that are important to get to understand Harry and his background is his life at home. At the beginning of the book, you learn about Harry's awful family. Since both his father and mother were killed by Lord Voldemort when Harry was a baby, Harry has to live with his horrible Aunt and Uncle since they are his only remaining family. They resented Harry's parents while they were alive and treat Harry terribly. An example of this is that Harry has to sleep under the staircase in a tiny chamber that you couldn't even call a room. Harry ends up getting an invitation to Hogwarts and gets to leave his house which acts as a resolution to this conflict.

"I need you to breathe, Wade," she said. She gave me a comforting smile and squeezed both of my hands." (page 138).

#2.  The person speaking within that quote is Samantha. She is a main character in the story and does not narrate this quote or any other part of the book.

#3. The audience is Wade who is being spoken to by Samantha. The person narrating is Wade who is the main character and storyteller. 

#4. Wade is having a panic attack due to the extreme scenario that the group we follow in the story has just been put in. Samatha and Wade used to be close but have been in an everlasting fight for a while in the story now. Yet she is the one who understands Wade best and shows that by going over to Wade to comfort/calm him down

#5. I picked this quote because I was surprised to see Samantha give up her fight with Wade to help calm and comfort him. It was definitely a significant part of the story, and it really helped contribute to the reader's understanding of the relationship between some key characters.

#6. This is a picture from the movie Ready Player 1 (The story in the series previous to Ready Player 2), and it features both Wade and Samantha]]> 2021-01-13 19:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/1084795677 emdemarte1 https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/1133554326 (Ready Player Two) REALITY: One word that I find significant in my reading is, reality. The word reality is super significant in my book because a lot of the story is about what is real or not. Almost all of the story is taking place in a virtual world and with the help of technology, it feels as real as the real world. Though this is an alternate virtual reality, the problems that take place in the OASIS are just as real as problems that happen in the real world.]]> 2021-01-27 19:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/1133554326 emdemarte1 https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/1322287523 In the plot of my book, Ready Player Two, while Wade, Shoto, and Aech are trying to find one of the seven shards, they have to go through a town completely dedicated to Prince. The text goes into great detail about many large and little aspects of Prince's life since they are all included within the town and the story. This kind of struck me by surprise because I was left wondering why the author, Ernest Cline, would do this? But the conclusion I came to was that the Cline must have included this part of the story simply because he was fond of Prince and or his music. It is a small decision for the author but ends up impacting the story in a big way and I think that added a cool and interesting element to the story.]]> 2021-03-17 18:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/1322287523 emdemarte1 https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/1480182864 Within my book, Ready Player Two, a theme of trust between relationships is a thing that I see come up a lot in the story and in between the characters. When the team is taking on the challenge of collecting the 7 shards, so much trust is put into each member of the team since their strengths vary and are needed at different times. For example, when Wade was in trouble fighting against a giant guard dog from the Lord of the Rings series, Samantha comes just in time to save Wade and knows how to deal with the challenges they face due to her knowledge of Lord of the Rings. Wade and Samantha's relationship was in a weird negative spot at the time but with this part of the story, the author really shows how deep the character's friendships go, and how important it is to be able to rely on help when needed.

I am not sure what it was called, maybe Caged Bird, something like that. Anyway, I think that this text that we worked with for a while definitely had the most impact on me as a reader. I hate annotating texts because I find annotating to be annoying, but I really got to see the value of it when analyzing this text. When stopping to think about what the words of the poem meant, it was effective to be able to write down and record thoughts while looking for specific things in the text. Overall I thought it was a really great poem and had tons of hidden meaning and story behind each one of its lines. It has for sure changed me as a reader and a human because I now hold a different opinion when it comes to analyzing and annotating stories or poems. I also feel more confident in my ability to search for themes, messages, and meanings deeper within a text.]]> 2021-04-30 23:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/emdemarte1/ewlmhtzzux2ywc0j/wish/1480191243
