CONCLUSIONS 

          This term paper has explored the grammar means of expressing emotions and attitude in English through the lens of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." By analyzing various linguistic devices employed in the book, including active and passive voice, interjections, modal verbs, and mood, we have gained a deeper understanding of how these grammatical tools contribute to the portrayal of emotions and attitudes in the narrative.

          The examples and comparisons presented throughout this paper have highlighted the significant role of grammar in capturing the rich tapestry of emotions and attitudes within the story. The usage of active voice allows for a direct and engaging expression of characters' emotions, showcasing their agency and personal investment in their experiences. Passive voice, on the other hand, creates a sense of detachment or objectivity, influencing readers' interpretations of characters' emotional states and attitudes. Interjections serve as powerful bursts of emotion, reflecting characters' immediate reactions and contributing to the overall tone and atmosphere of the narrative.

          Modal verbs provide nuanced insights into characters' attitudes, desires, and moral judgments, shaping readers' understanding of their emotional landscapes. By carefully selecting modal verbs, authors can evoke specific emotional responses and convey characters' varying degrees of certainty, obligation, or inclination. The mood, with its different forms, allows authors to present alternative perspectives, hypothetical scenarios, and conditional situations, eliciting a range of emotional reactions from readers.

          Through the analysis of these grammar means in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," we have gained valuable insights into J.K. Rowling's artistic choices, character development, and thematic exploration. The deliberate use of grammar to express emotions and attitudes deepens our understanding of the characters' experiences, motivations, and relationships. It also underscores the author's ability to create a rich and immersive world where readers can connect with the emotional journeys of the characters.

          Moreover, this term paper has highlighted the significance of studying grammar means in literary analysis, specifically in the context of J.K. Rowling's work. The grammar means employed in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" serve as powerful tools for Rowling to convey the emotional depth and complexity of her characters. By examining the grammar means used in the book, readers gain a greater appreciation for the narrative's emotional impact, thematic resonance, and the author's skillful storytelling.

          This term paper has also emphasized the broader importance of grammar in the study of English literature. Grammar is not merely a technical aspect of language but a vehicle for expressing the intricacies of human emotions and attitudes. Through a deep understanding of grammar means, readers can engage more critically with literary texts, discern the emotional nuances embedded within the language, and develop a more nuanced interpretation of the characters and their experiences.
