Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

There are things in the book that point strongly in the direction of the Chamber of Secrets and the monster that lies within--Ginny and her odd behavior, the voice that only Harry can hear, and Moaning Myrtle. Take away one of these and explain how it would have changed the rest of the story and what it added to have it included.

Essay Topic 2

Part 1-Explain why Hagrid refused to tell anyone about Aragog.

Part 2-Why does Hagrid continually find large pets to take care of?

Part 3-What would have changed if Hagrid had explained about Aragog fifty years ago?

Essay Topic 3

When the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years earlier there was a Muggle killed. At that point in time it was just Tom Riddle controlling the Basilisk.

Explain.
