While writing is painful, agonizing, and time-consuming work it is all worth it once the words pull together to create a story. I had only realized the joys of writing in my senior year of high school. It was only after hundreds of intellectually stimulating conversations with books. Conversations that took me into lands of imagination; eventually sending me off to write stories and essays of my own that led me to appreciate literature as a whole. The love of literature is a slow nourishing bond…

not a book, but a series and that’s the Harry Potter series. I love the books that are written by J.K. Rowling, I find the books to be very fascinating to read because you are allowed to escape the aspect of reality and to be a part of the world of Hogwarts. Well other than the fact that it’s science-fiction, it also has real life places involved in the series as well. Just like the use of London, it’s used as the home of Harry Potter and one of his really good friends, Hermione Granger, the two…

Greek Philosopher Aristotle words, and other research. The authors use of examples are clear and easy to understand like when he explains the sense of place evoked by fantasy in which he refers to the “The Lord of the Rings or the magic staircases Hogwarts”. Most people watched and heard about these movies. Also his examples gave some historical information and extended my knowledge, because I have never heard about the city of Bagdad in Iraq. Although I learned about a new place, I believe that…

Being part of the same cycle of books, the two works are quite alike. Stylistically they present the same elements. However, I could test a few differences. Rowling’s writing has fully matured in her last book. [1] I believe that the style and the themes have developed with the story and the characters. The plot has become darker, the characters more complex, as if the book itself grew with Harry. In the first book, Harry is merely an 11 year old being introduced to the magic world. In the…

classmates at lunchtime, books, like pixie dust, enabled me to soar. Reading has enhanced my imagination, perception, intellect, and curiosity. Without books, "2+2 = 5" would be a mere calculation error instead of a chilling Orwellian warning, and "Hogwarts" would conjure up images of pigs with skin conditions. Stephen King once said,…

The Project Management Hat is the most complex of the hats. It incorporates its six predecessors and many additional conflicting hats. The PM hat requires one to be empathetic yet be a driver; to be decisive yet inquisitive, to be structured yet adaptive, and to think "big picture" yet "sweat the details." The role of PM is full of contradictions that must be reconciled in order to succeed. Salient features of the 7th hat are alignment with strategy, doing the right thing, doing things the…

people and adventures they’ve never experienced. So many writers are capable of this, some of the more prominent being J.K Rowling, J.R.R Tolkien, and C.S Lewis just to name a few. Though these best selling authors have taken me into their worlds of Hogwarts, Middle Earth, and Narnia respectively, one author in particular has always been able to take me out of reality but in a different way while simultaneously having a…

As soon as my sneakers hit the grimy sidewalk outside the concert hall, I could tell something was amiss. There was no squealing of brakes from the mid-day traffic, or any jogger along the sidewalk. As I continued down the block, I did not hear the resonance of pubescent chatter from the playground down the street, nor the squabble of vendors. All around me was utter silence. Remember when your parents would proclaim, “Silence is golden.” ? Yet after lounging my cello onto my back and stumbling…

Diagon Alley Descriptive Essay Do you believe in magic? When you visit Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Orlando, you are transported to a different world. This is a place where your senses can take over. You don’t have to see to believe, believing is seeing. Visiting Diagon Alley in Universal Studios made me see a new perspective into what J.K. Rowling envisioned, my senses were awakened and alive that day, and made new memories. Walking into the entrance was enchanting. I could sense the…
