The Silver chair

I changed my book because I wanted to start new book. The book that I chose is called "The Silver Chair" It is about Eustace and his friends that got to Narnia. One of them fell but then Aslan (the King of Narnia that is Lion)moved him to Narnia in a different place. His friends were still in the place and Aslan said that they could drink water but they were too scared that the lion would do something.Now these two kids have to find Eustace and Eustace someone. I don't know what happens next but I think that they will find Eustace and then maybe his sister will come to Narnia.

The connections that I made:

1. I also almost fell of the cliff

2. On Earth we also have Kings

3. We have lion on Earth

I found some words...

1. Merely: Just or only
2. Course: thing
3. Adoration: good

Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban

I read few pages and in my predictions I was right because they went to Hagrid and told him about what happened, but Hagrid already knew it. Hagrid gave them some tea and said that he never saw Dumbeldore that nervous (when harry fell). He also said that Dumbeldore got really mad at dementors and said that they are not allowed to come to the field anymore. I think that next there might be someone else attacked by dementors and some people will think that it's Harry's fault. 

Some connections that I made are:

1. I also talk to people

2. I also fell

3. I also saw principal really mad
4. I also saw principal nervous
5. I also walk to school

I found some words that were difficult
1. Blessed - welcomed
2. Bulletin - annoucments, short news
3. Satisfactory - meeting requirements
