Dear Mrs. Flemming,
Last week you asked me why I thought Harry was so mad at Ron and
Hermione. I think Harry is mad because he is actually jealous of them. Even
though he doesn’t mean to be, he is jealous that they have parents and a
happy family. So he is taking his jealousy out on them and is mad at them all
the time.
I just read ​
I’ve Seen the Promised Land​
. This was a picture book about
the life of Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who fought
for the rights of blacks during the Civil Rights Movement. This book explained
that he fought with non-violence.
A prominent trait of Martin Luther King Jr. is that he is determined. In
the text it talked about how he was arrested many times and sometimes for
no reason. Even though he was arrested so many times, he kept fighting for
the blacks and his beliefs. This shows how determined King was. It takes a lot
of determination to keep doing something this hard.
Another trait of Martin’s was that he was a powerful leader, The text
states, “When he spoke, people listened.” Lots of people listened to what
Martin said. This shows that Martin was powerful. Good leaders can get
others to do something.
Sincerely,
