In the book, “Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone”, Rowling uses topics that relate to other pieces of literary work, specifically it connects to the poem, ”Escape to Freedom” in both of them the topic of freedom and restrictions are covered. In the book Rowling refers to how Harry is trapped in his Aunt and Uncle's house and he is not allowed to do normal things because he is different. The author states, “The room held no sign that the other boy lived in the house[...] had a dream about a motorcycle[...] they seemed to think he might get dangerous ideas” (Rowling 18-26). This quote shows how they trap Harry in his cupboard and when he starts to mention something he is restricted because they think that he is different so he will misbehave.
