Some of those kids actually get to live those dreams like I did, at Camp Widjiwagan, this summer. It was one week of a Harry Potter themed, outdoors day camp. Camp Widjiwagan was one of the best camps I’ve been to complete with fun and new learning experiences from the new and different people, to all the activities they had, to my overall outcome at the end of the…

He becomes the prime suspect and…

week carrying the first volume of Harry Potter with me everywhere I went, I was anxious and excited to finish the novel. At first, I had no intention or desire to read Harry Potter; on the contrary, the week before my dad handed me his copy of the first book, I had told a friend that it was “stupid” and not worth my time. I begrudgingly started reading at my dad’s request, soon marveling at the incredible world contained between the pages in my hands. Reading Harry Potter flipped a switch for…

first told that she wouldn't make a lot of money from her first book since it was a children’s book (“Biography.” IMDb). Twelve publishers rejected the story of Harry Potter before it was finally accepted (Farr). Bloomsbury Publishing was the publishing house that finally decided to accept the book under their children’s book division. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone began to be published in the United Kingdom during 1997 (Steffens 54). The American publishing rights were then sold to…

Audette woke on the wet slab in a sweat. A draft provided by the open doors of the Temple gave her with the motivation to make her way out. Her eyes had to re-adjust to the sunlight coming in through the oak doors. She felt different. For the first time in her life she felt confident, both about life and her future; after all, she was going to become a Dark-Witch. She mused herself and wondered how long it would take to turn a boy into a toad. She remembered the boys at the orphanage. She had…

The first thing I noticed about this book was the amazing quality of writing. Right off the bat, I was hooked, drawn in by the fantastic storytelling of Ransom Riggs. In Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Riggs creates a world all it's own by mixing humor, magic, and mystery flawlessly. The way in which he writes is beautiful: ". . . these weren't the kind of monsters that had tentacles and rotting skin a seven-year-old might be able to wrap his mind around- they were monsters with…

The film Dirty Harry shows us a cop willing and preferring to go against protocol and standard professional procedure to fight crime and in doing so causes crimes of his own as well as unneeded damages and cruelty even causing the main antagonist to go free from convictions in his initial crimes. Law conflicts with order in this film by having Harry break the law numerous times attempting to stop a criminal from causing arguably greater crimes from occurring to little avail as the hostage as…
