Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Informative Speech

Improved Essays
Good morning. Welcome to the book show. I will be discussing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling. I enjoy reading because; "When you sell a book, you don't just sell ink and paper, you sell a whole new life." This quote is true for me because books a a very large part of my life. I started reading for pleasure at a very young age. People complain when they don't get to join a character in their journey, but we did, and the journey will start again when you reread.

When Harry reaches 17, the hunt begins for Voldemort's Horcruxes. Harry, Ron and Hermione must survive their toughest challenge yet. Camping. They must work together to get through trials. But the Horcruxes are fighting back, pushing them further and further apart. They must uncover Dumbledore's dark past and finally destroy Voldemort.

I'm going to focus on two major groups, the death eaters and the muggleborns. The death eaters back stories are hardly touched. Many of them could have just reasons to join Voldemort's club, for example to save their families' or there own lives. While nothing is really a good excuse to join the death eaters, these morals may improve people's view on particular death eaters. This book delves into Snape's past, which shows him in a better light. This proves that hiding the backstory can make a character seem evil, even when they truly are not. Muggleborns are the second silenced group. Only Hermione and Lily's backstories are touched on, and only briefly. Many people do not know that Hogwarts sends a witch or wizard to a Muggle household to break the news gently, as it is mentioned once in passing in Snape's memories. This makes them seem like a minority, as not many other muggleborns are introduced throughout the series. They may also seem like a weak opponent against the Wizards, but they may be faster, stronger or smarter than wizards could

    Overall my experience with reading has been forced, and limited and has lost its original glamour. For me what reading novels brings to other people, I can obtain through other means that are more appealing for my way of thinking. While I don’t enjoy the act of reading a 600 page mandatory novel, I do enjoy the conversations that it can cause. Such as the debating, and sometimes the arguments, that come from the material within the carefully thought out cover pages can be intriguing and rewarding. However, to say that books have influenced my thoughts about the world, or have made…

This proves to be no different for the renowned Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

    In the article, Reading Literature Makes us Smarter and Nicer, by Annie Murphy Paul, it states the two opposing sides or the ongoing debate, Does Reading Literature Make Us Smarter Better People? Annie gives us both sides of the argument, and shows an extensive amount of research to back us her opinion. I believe that reading strengthens your mind, and help you view life in multiple perspectives, allowing me and everyone else to become better individuals. I personally don’t like reading so much, and I’m not the only one, some people are just not made for reading, but once in awhile I find a book that I really love, and can’t put down. In the article, Annie states that people who read fiction, “appear to be better able to understand other people, empathize with them and view the world from their perspective,” I’ve came across a book like that once, and I loved it.…

    We - as civilization - are shaped by our interactions with people. Some people have an engaged personality; generally bold or active. Other people tend to have a shy or introverted personality, preferring to be engaged in a small group of friends and stray from large groups. I am both partially introverted and extroverted, but prefer the latter. Reading is such a major part of my life; from the time I could comprehend the written word, I had always turned towards book.…

    Ironically, though I wasn’t immediately taken with reading, I became an avid reader after those first few difficult years. I was a regular at my elementary school’s small library, and I competed in everything book-related that I could. Battle of the books, spelling bees, and English classes were my favorite pastimes in grade school. Other children dreaded completing summer reading and literature studies, but I looked at reading…

    I have always been a reader, I don't think there has ever been a time in my life where I haven't loved it. My mom is a teacher, so as a child reading was part of our everyday life. We had annual passes to the library and would attend the mommy and me events. I remember when I was about four or five, I would sneak a flashlight into my room and read Wizard of Oz. Although I couldn't actually read the words out of this huge chapter book, I would make the story up, pretending I knew what I was reading.…

    I have been a reader for as long as I can remember. I remember hiding under my covers with a flashlight just to finish a good book. Literature enthralls me, and by the power that the words have on one’s imagination and emotions. Literature captivates the potential to evoke one’s imagination and inspire creativity in anyone who starts to breathe in the precious words. Maya Angelou has the perfect quote to summarize how I feel about the power of literature and reading, “When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature.…
