A Diary Entry after one of Mrs Hon's Enjoyable Lessons

Hello Everyone!

Today Mrs Hon’s lesson was very interesting as she was teaching us how to write compositions. She suggested some book for us to read. I have decided to read the book ‘Angels and Demons’ by Dan Brown.  It is non-fiction and, according to Mrs Hon, it is written very skilfully. I have a good feeling about this book.

  What I look for when I read a book is how it is written and its story line. One of my favourite series of all time is the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. It is about a young boy, Harry, who had lost his parents when he was barely a year old because of a powerful sorcerer that tried to murder him. Nobody knew how he survived because nobody had ever survived when the sorcerer, Voldermort decided to kill them. His parents tried to save him and were killed by Voldermort. When he turns 11, he finds out that he is a wizard and begins his journey to grow and develop as a fine wizard that has to battle Voldermort to live a normal life as a wizard in the wizarding world.

I regard this plot as a very good one as I can see that a lot of thought and planning was put into it. I also know that it took J.K Rowling 5 whole years to develop this idea.

When I start to write short stories I wish to write in the style J.K Rowling does as she engages me and whenever I read her books, I do not want to put them down! What are your favourite books?
