Rowling choses her words carefully encouraging her readers to decipher the subtle clues she leaves to the overall story line. Her impeccable use of these techniques within Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows enabled her to create a more complex plot along with compelling and unforgettable characters all the while keeping her audience intrigued. Significant time, research, and thought was put into each character

    Call me a book nerd or a geek, but this assignment actually made me think quite a bit. I have read quite a few books, but one that I constantly remember making an impact on me when I read it, and even after I put it down, is “Safe Haven” by Nicholas Sparks. You’re probably thinking that this author just fills his books with sappy, unrealistic love stories and tragedies, and in all honesty I believed that too in the beginning. However, within the first chapter, I noticed a story that represented much more than your run-of-the-mill romance. The main character Katie, moves to Southport, North Carolina seeking refuge from her past.…

Rowling to write an empowering piece; however, what is astonishing is the poignant way in which she delivered the commencement speech to the Harvard graduating class of 2008. Her speech was meant to enlighten the graduates about life after college by focusing on the benefits of failure and the importance of imagination. The commencement speech followed a topical pattern, thus she centered her speech around life after college and the equal importance of failure and imagination by utilizing her own life experiences as a mere twenty-year-old to explain her main points. Not only was the speech easy to follow because she clearly stated what she would speak about, She delivered the speech in a truly…

    They get to create the true characters, what they look like, what their true dispositions are, how they dress, how they interact. The authors lay the basics, but how they are truly manipulated, lays in our own imaginations.
