Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secret!

Chapter Five: The Whomping Willow

- Summary: This chapter is telling about some last days that Harry spends his summer holiday at Weasley’s family. After that Harry and all members of Weasley family go to Hogwarts. On the way to the platform nine and three-quarters, Harry and Ron couldn't enter the platform, but they don’t know the reason why they couldn’t enter it; therefore, Harry and Ron decide to go to Hogwarts by Mr. and Mrs. Weasley’s car which is magicked already. Harry and Ron think that the Muggle couldn't’t see them drive the car to school, but they are wrong because there are some people have seen a flying car is flying above the street. As the result, this new is published on newspapers, and that becomes a hot new to Muggle people on the next day. In addition, when they arrive at Hogwarts, their car crashes on the Whomping Willow tree which has magic so this tree wants to kill Harry and Ron because they hit into it, however, they are so lucky to escape from it. When Professor Snape knows this new, he wants to discard Harry and Ron from Hogwarts, but he couldn’t do that because he is the head of Slytherin house, he has no right to discard students from Gryffindor house. So Harry and Ron become more famous to other student at Hogwarts.

- Personal Response: I really like to read books about Harry Potter because they are so interesting, and the situations from these books always make me surprised. When I read a chapter, I often guess the result of that chapter in my mind, but my guesses are not same with my guesses. For instance, when I read this chapter at the situation that Harry and Ron couldn't enter the platform nine and three quarters, I think they will contact to the Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and they will go the Hogwarts on the next day; however, they decided to go to Hogwarts by Mr. and Mrs. Weasley’s car; therefore, my guess is different from what happened in the story. On this chapter, in my opinion, Harry and Ron shouldn't decide to drive the car to Hogwarts, and they should contact to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley or contact to their school to find the ways for them. They shouldn't do that because they are so young to drive a car to school by themselves, and they could meet many problems on their way to Hogwarts such as lost their way, out of gas, and fall down on the sea or mountain, ect.

Microsoft introduces new business services.

- Summary: This article is written about Microsoft has just introducing its new services for business, at this time, Microsoft takes a nickname for its marketing strategy is "Microsoft Online". One of the new services of Microsoft is called "Office Live Workspace". This new service (software) will help companies to protect and manage their documents or their data, and it will also help companies to control their activities . According to Jeff Raikes, heads Microsoft highly profitable Business Divison, this new service could bring the company a more stable stream of subscription revenue; however, Microsoft only offers this service to big and large organizations and companies as its first model. Although there are many people like this service, there is a lot of people still worry about this new service; they worry about security and losing control of their data; therefor, they're on the sidelines until they can sure for that.

- Personal Response: I like this article because from it I can know and learn about a new way to introduce a new product to other people; instead of introducing product to every people Microsoft just offers to some big and large companies as a model to get the result first. I guess that Microsoft acts that not because it is not sure about its product, but may be because its product is a little bit expensive and suitable with only big and large companies than the small ones. Though there is a lot of people that are not interested in this new service because they are worry about losing their data or out of control data; however, if I were them, I would try this new service to know about its benefit and also to make sure that whether the new service is as good as its introducing or not. Whatever, as we know that Microsoft is a very big and famous company; therefore, it's product must be good as its famous.
