Blog Prompt #2: Personality & Knowledge in Harry Potter

Select a character from either Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone or Winter's Bone that intrigues you. Then, "close read" ONE passage or scene that helps you answer the following question:

How does your character's personality help him/her to acquire knowledge?

Your entries and two comments are due by 11:59pm on Friday, 9/5. Be sure to read the section on close reading in the Comp II Handbook, and also be sure to read all of the examples carefully. Your task here is to analyze--not summarize--a passage or scene, so be sure to focus on the formal aspects of whichever passage/scene you choose to analyze.
