Sirius

Muggles Vs Magic As the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry once announced, “You place too much importance, and you always have done, on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognise that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!” So why should anybody who is a member of the non-magical community, an ordinary human, be exempt from the chance to interact with those pure bloods (pupils with all magical heritages)? One quarter of the enrolled…

paintings. This happens because cameras may be set up close enough to each other, allowing people to appear in multiple different paintings. For Example, In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J. K. Rowling, the Fat Lady’s painting is attacked by Sirius Black. After the attack, she vanishes from her usual painting at the entrance of the Gryffindor common room. Percy Weasley asks Professor Dumbledore if they found the Fat Lady, and Dumbledore responds with “Hiding in a map of Argyllshire…

Dr. Jekyll and Courtney Davidson would have to agree with the quote by Sirius Black, “ We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s the person we really are.” The first reason why Jekyll would agree with Black is in Act 1, Scene 5. Jekyll says, “Within each person, there is light and dark.” He repeats this sentiment in his final letter to Utterson, (Act 2, Scene 4,) writing: “In all of us, there is both good and evil.” This is exactly the…

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without not knowing what time or day it is, that's would've been crazy but luckily we won't be dealing with with that we will be remembering events, always being on time, never having to miss someone’s birthday, because it all comes to the useful, convenient calendar that has been introduced to the world, millions of years ago and still utilized now Numerous people today don’t focus when and how calendars were first created. The evolution of…

Since 1973 around a 143 people have been found innocent, 18 of them thanks to DNA evidence (Neil Macdonald, 2014). Could you image being on death row knowing your innocent but fearing that you are gonna get it for someone elses crime? You'd be the Sirius Black of Azkaban. In many cases of the death penalty a physician may come in and help which isn’t all that bad considering that they know what they are doing probably better than most people there, but that doesn’t make it okay. Physicians have…

weaving, etc. Irrigation Ditches were invented which led people to develop mathematics and engineering skills which led people to predict when floods would occur for irrigation. The king used his astronomers to examine the stars at night for the star Sirius that would rise before dawn on the day of the Nile flood. They also used a bit of statistics when they calculated the average time span for the Nile to flood which was once every 365 days. The king could also predict how high the Nile would…

Egyptian astronomy began in the prehistoric times. The Egyptians knowledge of astronomy helped them contribute to modern day science. The Egyptians were considered “observers of the sky” They are well known for their contribution of the 24 hour day and the calendar. “When the lack of rainfall in North Africa forced a man to abandon his nomadic life as a hunter and settle down near water, he had perforce to become mainly an agriculturist. In eastern North Africa the Nile valley proved to be an…

There are many things that I thought about when faced with this question. Then I realized why I liked it so much. My identity is in flux but the most solid pieces of myself come from the toughest times of my life. There is no fantastic way to tell this story except bluntly and directly. My mom and I are domestic violence survivors. We are not the first people to suffer through such nor will we be the last. But we have gotten farther than it was thought possible when I was four years old. When…

For the book that I liked, I picked Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and I believe that the author, JK Rowling has made an excellent use of language in this very famous novel of hers. Different characters' speech patterns reveal their levels of education. Wizards speak in proper English, and Hagrid, who is half-giant and not fully educated, drops his H's and slurs his words together a bit sloppily. House-elves have no sophisticated mastery of language. They use terrible grammar, referring to…
