Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stones

Judged by this first volume, the Harry Potter books are a fine addition to English children’s
fantasy literature. Harry Potter, orphaned when his parents are killed by the evil wizard
Voldemort, is taken in by his aunt and uncle, who are Muggles – ordinary, non-magical
people. Harry is rather out of place there, but things improve greatly for him when goes to
the Hogwarts School of  Witchcraft and Wizardry – except that one of  the staff is in league
with Voldemort.

Part of  the attention of  Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone comes from the familiar
but at the same time exotic setting of  an English public school, complete with houses and
schoolboy adventures, in which Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione struggle to save
the world and win the house cup.

So Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone will be a great Christmas present for kids who
haven’t read it yet – and it is a book that adults (at least those without stunted imaginations)
can read as well.

gold ornamental cup, a missing baby, and a will which seems to be deceitful. To solve the

As the hilariously funny tale called The Princess Diaries begins, Mia Thermopolis is just a
regular high school freshman at Albert Einstein High School. Well, as regular as you can be
when you live in a loft in downtown New York with your flighty artist Mom. And as regular as you
can be when your best friend is Lilly, a punky and spunky militant who produces her ownTV
show.

As readers can guess from the  title, this book takes the form of a diary, written by Mia. Over the
pan of a month, she relates her daily woes and embarrassments in heart breaking detail. As
with most teenaged girls, Mia thinks she is hopeless, looks-wise. She's tall --- 5’9" --- and klutzy,
and not so gifted in the chest department.

Then there is school. One of Mia’s biggest problems is the fact she is flunking Algebra and, to
make matters worse, her Mom has begun dating her teacher. Gross.

In the boy department, the cutest one in school has the locker next to hers, but doesn't even
know Mia exists, even as his snooty girlfriend Lana, a popular cheerleader, torments her. And to
top it off, Mia is developing some sort of weird crush on Michael, Lilly’s computer nerd brother.

Then one day, Mia finds out she is a princess. Okay, I know that doesn’t sound bad to most
girls, but Mia hates the idea instantly. How does this fairy tale come true? Her father is ruler of
the principality of Genovia and since Mia is his only child, she is next in line to the throne. Her
dad sends in the big guns to convince Mia that being a princess is what she is meant to do: her
formidable grandmother comes to New York to give Mia "Princess Lessons". And as the word
spreads around Albert Einstein High School that Mia is royalty, her life just gets more crazy.

The ending of The Princess Diaries is a twisty one and will leave you jonesing for more stories
of Mia and the rest of her friends.

TEXT 5

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS

Captain Phillips is an upcoming 2013 American biographical action thriller film directed
by Paul Greengrass based upon the book, A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy
SEALs, and Dangerous days at Sea, by Richard Phillips with Stephan Tatty, and
starring Tom Hanks. It is produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De Luca.
The film tells a biopic of merchant mariner Captain Richard Phillips, who was taken
hostage for several days by Somali Pirates when the container ship Maersk Alabama
which sailed from southern Oman drown along the coast of Somalia and then to Kenya
was hijacked in 2009.

Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), a veteran merchant mariner, still lives in his
native New England, and he's a plainspoken family man full of anxiety about the
economically bleak new world his kids are facing. When his wife (Chaterine Keener)
drops him off at the airport, we can see reverse her. The film then cuts to Somalia, a
land of dust and poverty, where the pirates are recruited for their mission as if they were
migrant farm workers lining up to be chosen for that day's labor. Greengrass doesn't
have to fill in much about the violent, chaotic breakdown of Somalia to let us know that
these men have little choice.

The film does not generate quite the same level of excruciating suspense as some of
Greengrass' previous triumphs, but it nonetheless holds us hostage as it proceeds. As
for the four Somali immigrants, they are remarkably effective in their first professional
acting gigs.
