Hard Life Vs Harry Potter

Although most statements/quotes suggest, that the genre fantasy swishes you away to your imagination land, However we not only escape away to our dream land. Fantasy has the power to teach life lessons, shows us that there is always another door open, ‘Classic literature’ vs escapist literature and Overcoming adversity. All of these arguments will be explored throughout the essay based on either Harry Potter series and The Princess Bride. These books allow audiences to learn the lessons of life in a different perspective. Harry potter’s and Westley’s point of view is put into perspective to approve Neil Gaimans statement.

the characters in wonder are very interesting, and relatable, but all oh so different! August is the main character and has had a face deformation since birth, resulting in him being home-schooled all his life. “He was sent off to Middle school like a lamb for the slaughter.” (p.10) We get to see what being the new kid at middle school is really like. He’s come to terms with being stared at and all the unwanted attention he attracts and it shows just how tough and courageous August is. The character’s capture readers of all ages attention and entices them to read Wonder, not once but over and

His mom starts to realize that she can’t home school him forever, so she puts him in PUBLIC SCHOOL (his worst nightmare). His first day at his new school, Beecher Prep, is started off with Mr. Tushman (his principal) putting together a welcoming committee. Three people are standing before him; Charlotte, Jack, and Julian,

William Shakespeare can be argued as being one of the best writers of all time. Part of Shakespeare’s magic includes his ability to still have such a massive influence on authors and the content they create even today. Many books, films, and other forms of media are based off popular themes taken from the works of Shakespeare. Although Shakespeare has remained relevant through many years, other authors have become common household names and written pieces of writing that have taken over the world. An author that has written amazing books read and enjoyed by millions is J.K. Rowling. J.K. Rowling is the author of the widely-loved book series Harry Potter. The seven Harry Potter novels have each been adapted to their

Despite August’s severe deformity he experiences unconditional love from his family and eventually his family of friends. This shows how his family’s love him for who he is not how he looks. They can go deeper, and find his beautiful personality and not be shallow enough to over-rule him just because he appearance does not perform to modern day definitions. Their love for August (or Auggie as he is often referred to) is so strong and so pure it is unlimited and free. Therefore, giving him the support he needs when he needs, as shown in this quote:

The film of J.K Rowling's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is an uncommon critical movie in the arrangement. Like the book, this film is vital in setting up a perception for the straggling leftovers of the course of action. It is essential that the film supplements the novel however much as could sensibly be normal. Using one of the critical features of a movie; visual imagery, the film change of the fourth novel is a better than average reinforcement to the novel. The visual similarity in this film complements sentiments and reactions that we can't in any capacity, shape or form get from the book. For example, the death of Cedric Diggory toward the completion of the film strikes a skilled, enthusiastic response because of his father, Amos

Thomas Foster, a professor at the University of Michigan, taught literature and writing. He was born in West Cornfield, Ohio, and living in such a small town caused him to become very associated with books. In 2003, Foster published a book, How to Read Literature like a Professor, written in second person. The book is written as a guide for readers to know the parts of nonfiction books. It teaches young readers how to include important elements into their stories. The chapters cause readers to connect to books and movies that they have read and seen before.

United States court case, Blockburger was found guilty of violating the Narcotics Act by the district court, he then appealed to the to the Supreme Court. The Blockburger v. United States court case is similar to the Robinson v. Alabama case, in To Kill A Mockingbird,because in both cases the defendants were wrongfully sentenced.

In the beginning of the book, Harry Potter lives with the Dursley, who are made up of his mean aunt, Petunia, his cruel uncle, Vernon, and their spoiled son, Dudley. The Dursley do not really want to raise Harry Potter, so the treat him badly by giving him a room in a cupboard under the stairs. Harry Potter is an outcast in the “ordinary world” mostly thanks to his cousin Dudley scaring all the children away from him at school and his aunt and uncle spreading lies about his dead parents, but he himself is weird thanks to wearing his cousin extra-large clothes, which make him look even more smaller and skinner than he already is, messy hair that never goes down, glasses held together with tape, and a scar on his forehead that was shaped like a bolt of lightning. We the reader know just from the first chapter that Harry Potter does not belong in the “ordinary world” but that he is bound to do much greater

This was because I am a girl and they believed girls couldn’t correctly play football, little did they know this made me feel as invisible as a ghost. This is a common feeling for a lot of innocuous kids because they don’t fit in. An outsider is what these kids are called. An outsider is someone who is judged and treated differently because of their social class, race, or abnormality.

Ashley and Rachel were both bullied by their classmates, but in different ways.

She looked closely, “Hortensky Fan Club” said the bright red letters.” While in “When Bullying Goes High-Tech” in paragraph 30, Elizabeth says that “When she was 11, a classmate of hers took photos of Ashley and created an entire Facebook page about her but denied doing it.
