Read Chapter 1 of the book and answer the following questions.
1. Why do you think the Dursley’s feel the way they do about magic? Do you think it would have been different if Dudley was the one with magic, but his parents still didn’t have any?
2. Are you ever scared that people will forget your birthday? Explain your answer.
3. What is a rule you don’t like in your house?
4. Why does your family have that rule?
I think they feel that about magic because of fear of losing someone in the family to some other bad wizard like Harry's parents passed; for fear of being hurt or envious of Harry's powers and the Magic. If Dudley were the wizard, everything would be different and maybe he would be more accepted and they could be proud of him.
Yes, because the birthday of someone its a very important day to remember and more if that person is a closed person for you.
A rule I don't like is my house is to eat in an exact hour like breakfast, lunch or dinner because sometimes there are times that I am not hungry so I feel forced to eat.
My family have that rule because they said its important eating at that hour because then we can feel bad if we don't eat at time or sometimes because its important to have the kitchen organized with the clean dishes.
I think that they feel like that because they feel scared with the magic, because is so potent or they have a bad experience in the past with the magic.
Depend because when someone that is important to me forgot it I feel sad and sometimes a little bit angry but if I don't speak too much with someone and forget my birthday I don't care too much.
Turn off my phone at 10:00 pm, I don't like it because sometimes I don't want to sleep and my phone distract me to don't be bored.
Because my mom said that that hour is so late to use our cell phones and in that hour we can share with the family.
1: I think the Dursley's are in desagree about magic because the sister of Petunia, the mother of Harry, thought that she has a monster.
I think the Dursley's will not support their son because his magic. Also, the Dursley's in the book show they are in desagree with magic since all of the magical people, for the eyes of the Dursley's, are monsters.
2: I like when the people who are close to me forgot my birthday because I don't like the birthday parties.
3: The house rule I don't like is I have too do the coffee of my father and the juice for the lunch.
4: That isn't a rule of my house but is a duty.
