A Comparison Of Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone And Slam Poetry

Improved Essays
There are a vast number of similarities and differences between Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Slam Poetry. Two areas that I will compare and contrast are the pacing and the overall tone. For pacing I will focus on how fast or slow. For overall tone I will focus on the use of emotion, passion and energy.
Although Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Slam Poetry are both narratives, they both have their differences in pacing. One is faster and one is slower paced.

    Introduction: My favorite quote throughout the entire story was when Johnny told Ponyboy when he was dying to “Stay gold, Ponyboy… Stay gold.” The meaning of the word “stay gold” was to tell you to stay innocent for as long as you could. My opinion of the book was that the book was good, but it would give too much information for parts that were not important. My opinion of the movie was that it did a good job of just getting to the important parts of the story.…

    To many, the words “Individual” and “Community” seem to oppose each other. However, the word individual is derived from the Latin root individuum meaning “an atom, indivisible particle” which shows how a true community is able to function — as one. Slam Poetry, Flag Football, and Experiential Learning all represent a personal connection between an individual and their community. When a slam poet takes the stage, whether it be in front of a thousand people or in front of one person, and clutches a microphone they become the voice of a community.…

It is quite a wonder that one can be quite alienated from normal life or people while still living around them.

While Martin in his book, The Pleasure of My Company expresses the theme of isolation by developing a protagonist who is confined from the normal social life like other people with his fears, Salinger develops such a character…
