Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all
of the books will always hold a special place in
my heart.
I have to say that of all the books, however, this
one was not my favorite.
When the series began it was as much of a “feel
good” experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa.
The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing,
and ultimately satisfying.
 Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book.
In some instances this works you feel a whole new
level of intensity and excitement by the time you
get to the end. I was truly moved by the last page.
Other times the book just has a slightly dreary,
depressing feel. The galloping pace of the other
books has slowed to a trot here, and parts of it do
seem long, as if we’re reading all about Harry “just
hanging out” instead of having his usual adventures.
Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an old
house, for example – housekeeping is still
housekeeping, magical or no, and I’m not very
interested in doing it or reading about other people
doing it.
 A few other changes in this book – the “real” world
comes much more in to play rather than the fantasy
universe of the previous books, and Harry has
apparently been taken off his meds. I know that he had
a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a
teenager and all, but the sudden change in his character
seemed too drastic. He goes from being a warm-
hearted, considerate person to someone who will bite
his best friend’s heads off over nothing. It just seemed
like it didn’t fit with his character, like he turned into a
walking cliché of the “angry teen” overnight. The “real”
story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the book, and
this part I loved. I actually liked the ending (and yes, I
cried!) as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it made
me care about the story even more. Still a really good
book, with some editing it would have been great.

Never Try Smoking

A lot of people, especially teenagers, who do not smoke,

always want to try smoking. They know it is bad for them and all,
but it is just something they want to try. So they ask one of their
smoker friends for a cigarette. Admittedly, they firstly can not
light it on their own so they ask his friend to do it. Then they
inhale that cigarette and smoke occasionally.
Apparently that makes them the born smokers. Now they do
smoke fairly regularly. They can not avoid smoking and they
enjoy too. They have smoker friends. Everyday they bring a pack
in their pocket. For them, a pack of cigarette is as important as a
wallet for their money.
 Suddenly, for certain reason, they realize the fact that tobacco is
the cause of a long list of nasty diseases. It is not only heart disease,
stroke, and chronic lung disease but also bladder, lung, and
pancreatic cancer. Even it was reported that around 400,000
Americans died each year. It was one every 80 seconds from tobacco-
related illnesses.
Then they decide it is stupid to harm selves. They want to quit
smoking. Unfortunately, they find that quitting smoking is so
difficult. “Why can't I stop smoking? I really want to stop it”. It is hard
to quit because nicotine is powerfully addictive. Cigarette is one of
the most efficient drug-delivery devices ever devised. As result, when
people try to quit smoking, they often experience classic nicotine
withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, headache,
depression, and restlessness.
Well, still want to try smoke? Think the facts before trying! If you are
not smoker, you should never and never try to smoke.
