themselves in the fantastical wizarding world bound by her seven novels. Rowling rewards her versed readers; while the Harry Potter novels are ones easily (and presumably most often) enjoyed by their younger devotees, they craft an allegorical puzzle for an informed audience. Rowling makes brilliant use of the classical tradition to provide the consumers of both canons, classical and Potter-centric, with a repertoire of themes, motifs, and language reminiscent of those in antiquity, allowing…

she appeared to be the only one who had finished it in advance. Harry would, of course, be grateful for her assistance, and he need never know that she had a copy of his book. Then again, why was she doing this? Curiosity? Or maybe it was intrigue. After all, Slughorn had never derided her ability in Potions, even in the spare moments he had for the rest of his class. He had never questioned her status as a student even though Harry received better results. Did she really need to go through…

Children 's literature can be said to be concerned with both ideology and power relations. This essay is interested in exploring these issues through a close reading of an extract from J.K Rowling 's Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone (1997). The extract itself is taken from chapter ten, Halloween in which a pivotal scene in the plot 's rising action is played out. The scene also highlights a major development in the character of Hermione Granger, from prissy 'nightmare ' (Rowling, 1997)…

An inference I can make about a relationship between two characters is the relationship between Harry and Hagrid. Since Hagrid told Harry the truth about his parent. “But you must know about your mom and dad,” he said. “I mean, they’re famous. You’re famous.” Hagrid said this to Harry in Chapter 4, after bursting into the hut on the island where Mr. Dursley has brought Harry to escape the magical letters. Hagrid’s was surprise at Harry’s ignorance of himself and of his family underscores the…

The character with the most leadership that I noticed was Hiccup. He has a lot of pressure on him being Stoick the Vast’s son, and he’s not really a Viking at all. Watching How To Train Your Dragon is like reading a Mark Twain novel; you watch the boy grow up. In the beginning of the movie Hiccup is more of a burden to the village than helpful. Nevertheless at the end Hiccup leads the other teenagers in Dragon Training to save the villagers from the dragon’s nest. That is a big turning point…

It talks about how little Harry Potter survived a deadly attack on his family by the darkest wizard in the “world” and how he is supposed to destroy the killer of his parents. (Columbus, 2001-2011). Structuralists believe that the world is governed by rules and codes and so in giving meaning to a text such as this, these structural codes or rules must not be broken. However, there is…

The Secret (Video Summary) The film The Secret starts with a rather dramatic introduction that presents the secret as something ancient, that it was kept and guarded closely, and perhaps even stolen at some point. The opening scene continues to say, “The SECRET WAS BURIED…COVETED…SUPPRESSED” and that it “WILL NEVER BE REVEALED TO THE PUBLIC.” It is explained that the greatest people in history knew this secret. Then you are told in many words that basically you can have whatever it is you want.…
