Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

Chapter 7

The Sorting Hat

The chapter describes the rivalry between the four houses of a school. This happens in many schools. What did you think of the magical way by which the new students were allocated to their specific houses? What do you think about the acrimony among a school’s houses? What can be done to make the scenario friendly instead of hostile?

  Octopus 1.     You may often have heard someone proudly saying that he has blue blood running through his veins. 2.     This figuratively means that he is the descendant of a royal dynasty. 3.     Did you know that a creature living in the deep blue ocean really has blue-coloured blood? 4.     We are talking about the mollusc, the eight-legged octopus here. 5.     Octopuses are natural marine architects which build homes for themselves with rocks. 6.     With their powerful arms, they can easily shift rocks from one venue to another. 7.     Their rock den abodes have a stone door entrance which the octopus can lock after it safely enters its sweet home. 8.     Even after they are securely at home, they are better off without visitors. 9.     They disperse shells and rocks to carefully conceal themselves within their dens. 10. ...

  How do birds migrate without maps? Perhaps you are in a place where winter has draped it with snow, and its freezing cold; you won’t find food there. However there are places in this world where it’s warm; and there is sunshine, and plenty of food. What will your instinct tell you to do? Would you have left for a warmer place as soon as autumn sets in? You see, birds have wings, so they can fly over mountains, and seas to reach a place with a climate which suits them better. They cannot read maps like we do. Nor do they use a compass like us. The sun, and stars are the compasses of migratory birds. Some are guided by wind patterns. Mountains, rivers, and lakes serve as landmarks which guide birds through their migration route. #MigratoryBirds, #BirdMigration, #migration, #migratory, #travel, #journey, #winter, #autumn, #summer, #spring, #seasons, #wings, #mountains, #seas, #climate, #weather, #temperature, #sun, #stars, #wind, #river, #sky, #route, #lakes, #water, #fly, #fl...
