If you could create a symbol for the main character in your IRB, what would it be and why?  Be sure to include specific examples from your book to support your choice. (Make the statement, proper nouns or numbers, and conclusion a different color.)

      There's a symbol I created for the main character in my IRB. The symbol was the Invisibily Cloak. Harry seems to use it a lot in my story. When he wants to traveled around somewhere, he needs it alot. He used a lot because the Death Eaters are hunting for him. He doesn't want show his face in the public because he's afraid that they're going to kill him. If he wants to show himself in the public, he'd to put it on . I conclude that Harry will survive in the end and kill Voldemort with his Invisible Cloak.

       There is an effect the literature has on its audience. The literature makes the audience feel like they want to do magic. The details in my book show that magic is fun and also evil sometimes. In my book, the part that made me feel fun was when they learned new spells. They learned spells like Avada Kedavra, Crucio, Expecto Patronum, Alomohora, Expelliarmus, and a lot more helpful spells. In my book, the part that made me feel evil was when Voldemort kill people with Dark Magic or Dark spells like Avada Kedevra, Crucio. In conclusion, there are parts in the story that made feel fun amnd evil sometimes.

 How does the setting affect the meaning of this story?

 The setting affects the meaning of the story Chamber of Secrets. The setting takes place in London. It's very cold in London. London is just like the United States but it's a bit colder. It would not make sense if the Hogwarts was in India. India is very hot and humid. It also would not make sense if the setting was in China. China is very hot and humid also. It's best to keep the story where it is not in China or India.
