Cloak of invisibility

grabbed the two last pieces of personal properties that were important to him, his cloak of invincibility and his broom. He set the broom against the sitting on the bed and looking at the cloak. "Maybe - I should start carrying it with me, it's valuable but also damn useful." He mumbled while running his hand over its soft fabric. "How, though, I mean people are bound to notice a bleeding invisibility cloak attached to me when I walk around." Letting the fabric fall between his fingers he was about to put it away when he noticed something. A stone, it had always been there, it was what you latched the front with but now upon closer inspection, she also noticed something else. If one wasn't looking for it or didn't have an overly sharp eye for detail they wouldn't have noticed it but he had. The stone was more of a branch and carved into it, or perhaps inside it was a triangle. "Uh, never noticed it before," he remarked before rubbing his thumb over it yet as he did so something very surprising happened, the cloak shrank until with a gasp only a small band of plaited fabric was left behind, the stone smaller than before was looped around with a thinner piece of fabric. "Okay that can't be normal," Shakily picking it up, he looked it over before running his finger over the stone. He frowned when nothing happened but tried again, this time with his numb.

For example, in the novel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K Rowling, the protagonist, Harry, has a cloak of invisibility, which makes him physically invisible.

In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s, “The Minister’s Black Veil,” there is an apparent message sent throughout the text: Secret sin of any one person has the ability to eat away at him or her, causing an overwhelming sense of guilt that can control and overtake his or her life; but can also become a necessary evil and a positive good at the same time. The image of secret sin that captivates Parson Hooper isolates his relationships from his congregation, Elizabeth, and God. In “The Minster’s Black Veil,”…

Ignoring the past in favor of the task at hand can lead to a repetition of mistakes that could have been avoided. Insights from the past often offer the most valuable aid in the present, acting as lessons or merely…

Nathaniel Hawthorne, author of The Scarlett Letter, uses figurative speech in his writing to depict Puritan life and to show his views and beliefs of that society. This can be shown through the interaction between Pearl and the young minister, Dimmesdale and how much of a dichotomy in their actions they are but also how similar their expressed in the passage. The passage on page 96 starts off with the minister’s decision to allow Hester to keep her daughter, Pearl. After announcing his decision…
