paragraph summarizing your observations and analysis of the setting it describes.

thousands and thousands of candles that were floating in midair over four long tables
where the rest of the students were sitting. These tables were laid with glittering golden
plates and goblets. At the top of the hall was another long table where the teachers

of faces staring at them looked like pale lanterns in the flickering candlelight. Dotted

staring eyes, Harry looked upward and saw a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars. He
heard Hermione whisper, "It's bewitched to look like the sky outside. I read about it in

It was hard to believe there was a ceiling there at all, and that the Great Hall didnt
simply open on to the heavens
