Selfishness and fear were the main motivations of Voldemort for bringing about his plan of getting rid of Muggle-born wizards and taking control of the wizard government or destroying it if refused to comply with his vision. He was selfish because he was afraid of being defeated and losing his power. He did not care about who lived and who died in the…

"’Get on— there 's…

final scenes from books four, five, six, and seven. Although this helps add lots of action to the story it makes all Harry Potter fans recoil with the sheer amount of inconsistencies because Harry did not live in the cupboard under the stairs in The Chamber of Secrets just for starters. From the announcement of the house cup (“how can it be a tri-wizard tournament if there are four teams”) to the rise of Lord Voldemort and Quirrel (“when I rule the world I’ll plant flowers”) to his fall at the…

As the main character in a story, it's important that the character is a three-dimensional character. Thus, being said, let's take a look at Stephen King's The Dark Tower: Gunslinger. The protagonist of this story is Roland Deschain who speaks High Speech. "The gunslinger walked stolidly, not hurrying, not loafing. A hide water bag was slung around his middle like a bloated sausage. It was almost full" (King 1). Roland, the first of his time to take the "trial of manhood", and become the…

Further into the novel Jake Brigance, Hailey’s lawyer while at a press conference, directly addresses the issue of race as well as injustice. Brigance speaks from a script that Hailey wrote himself: He talked of a family wrecked by racism and hatred…he tore into…
