Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban

Ron stopped dead.
"Oh please, Ron," Hermione began.
"It's Scabbers -- he won't -- stay put --"
Ron was bent over, trying to keep Scabbers in his pocket, but the rat was going berserk; sqeaking madly, twisting and flailing, trying to sink his teeth into Ron's hand.
"Scabbers, it's me, you idiot, it's Ron," Ron hissed.
They heard a door open behind them and men's voices.
"Oh Ron, please let's move, they're going to do it!" Hermione breathed.
"Okay -- Scabbers, stay put --"
They walked forward; Harry like Hermione, was trying not to listen to the rumble of voices behind them. Ron stopped again.
"I can't hold him -- Scabbers, shut up, everyone'll hear us --"
The rat was squealing wildly, but not loudly enough to cover up the sounds drifting from Hagrid's garden. There was a jumble of indistinct male voices, a silence, and then, without warning, the unmistakable swish and thud of an axe.
Hermione swayed on the spot.
"They did it!" she whispered to Harry. "I d--don't believe it -- they did it!"

This is the part from Harry Potter and The Prisoner Of Azkaban when they were executing Buckbeak the Hippogriff. For some reason this part made me laugh. Not the fact the Buckbeak is getting executed, the whole thing with Ron and Scabbers made me laugh. This book makes me want a Hippogriff. Apparently, a Hippogriff is half bird, half horse.

Books, Horses, Music, We've Got It All!

Just an update and some thoughts...

Well. Last week I fell off Dori in my horse back riding lesson. It was a really funny fall too. I sat up, sat there for a moment and went to catch Dori. My instructor made me jump a line a thousand times until I got it right. Dori was going really fast, and my instructor had me do it until I slowed her down. When I got back from my lesson I was really sick because of the heat. Also, my half chaps rub my legs raw, and when I got back from my lesson and took off my chaps, my legs and breeches were bloody. Nice huh? I guess what they say is true. No pain, no gain.

I finally started reading the Harry Potter series. I tried reading the books when it first came out and I couldn't get into it. But on Sunday, I read the entire book in one day. And I took a nap, because I hadn't been sleeping lately. I'm currently on The Chamber of Secrets. I'm loving it. I'm almost finished with The Eyes Of The Dragon by Stephen King. I'm going to read The Shining next.

An update on Projekt Revolution. I currently have 20 dollars. I need 75 dollars. I'm pathetic.

My hair is red! I know, random, but I wanted to say it. My best friend and I, in a couple weeks, are going to Hot Topic and getting hair dye. She wants lime green streaks. I was thinking blue. I trying to convince my mom to let me get bangs. Not going so well.

The Metamorphosis

I recently read The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka for school. It's very quirky but compelling. The writer made me feel such compassion for Gregor. I didn't like when he lost his job or when his family treated him like he was disgusting and wrong. I would feel horrible if the people I loved most didn't accept me. All Gregor wanted was to be loved. I also felt horrible when his family was happy when he died. They celebrated! Who would do that? It made me think how I would act in this situation. I would be the kind of person to accept and love a beetle. I would feed him the food he wanted and kept his room clean. His family did not do that for him. I have a love/hate relationship with this book. But I will definitely read it again.
