This means that if we choose to do good we will be good, but if we choose to be bad then we will be bad. Harry Potter reminds me of Percy Jackson because they both have very dangerous things headed for them, and horrible people they have to destroy. They both have two other friends, a male and a female, and they both have magic involved with their stories. This theme was used throughout the book, such as in the sorting he was sorted into Gryffindor because he wanted to be good, and didn’t want to leave his

    He stayed away from all kinds of gatherings because he never could think of anything to say or do without a script"(Vonnegut 16). The fact that he didn't know his parents showed that he never had a sense of identity. As a result, he is unable to interact with anyone, including with potential female partners.

    Thesis Statement: In the novel The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien shows that man has the ability to decide between good and evil, contrasting Golding who views that all man is innately evil. This difference is portrayed through the characters Ralph and Frodo, Roger and Sauron, and Piggy and Gandalf. I. Golding uses the character Ralph to show that man struggles between choosing good versus evil and chooses evil, compared to Tolkien’s novel where Frodo has to make the choice for good and ultimately chooses good. A. Ralph finds himself having to decide between going back to the beach and joining Jack’s evil dance during the thunderstorm.…

The green eyed lad just sat there for a moment, every now and again his mouth opening, then shutting again as if trying to spit out the words which were obviously on the tip of his tongue. “Do you want to talk about what happened?

    Moreover, everyday people have a choice in what they will say or do, thus people can make good things happen instead of bad simply by making better choices. To put it differently, when making a decision, it is important to determine the facts and identify the options. Next, the consequences for yourself and others must be considered; as for, everyone’s words and action have consequences and it is up to the doer to determine if they want to cause a positive or negative impact on those around them. Then the cycle would repeat for whoever is reacting to the original thing said or done, by that person deciding how they will react or if they will. For instance, someone can make the choice either choose to empower a person or tear them down, then they must choose what they want to do, if they choose to be friendly their actions would conclude in making friends.…

    In Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone, the author J.K. Rowling presents many different themes throughout the fantasy story. For example, it seems that Rowling has tied some religious aspects into the story, whether it be explicit references or simply religious symbolism. She also delves into deeper ideas, such as good vs. evil, as well as death and immortality, which you might not exactly expect from a children’s book. Beginning with the explicit references to religion, two major references would be the mention of the holidays Christmas and Easter, which are both usually associated with the Christian religion. However, in this story they don’t seem to be celebrating these holidays religiously.…

    Ordinary World Harry Potter’s ordinary world is his home of number four Privet Drive with the Dursleys. When he crosses the threshold into the wizarding world, the contrasts between the two realms are drastic. “It’s a good idea for writers to make the Ordinary World as different as possible from the Special World, so audience and hero will experience a dramatic change when the threshold is finally crossed”, and it is (Vogler 87). Privet Drive was a dull and miserable existence for Harry. He was without friends, was shown no love, was given little to eat, and he experienced very little happiness throughout his time there.…
