“The Tale of Three Brothers” was first presented in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and last book in the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling. In the story arc, one of the main character, Hermione Granger, narrates the story from her copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard. These tales were commonly read to children as bedtimes stories because they are “told to amuse rather than instruct” (Rowling 409). “The Three of Three Brothers” relates how three brothers cheated Death…

Throughout the Harry Potter series, storylines and plots changed throughout the books, but one thing remained consistent- the personalities of the characters. A reader could always rely on Harry to save the day, Ron to be his sidekick, Mrs. Weasley to be motherly, and Draco Malfoy to be a bully. This is because the characters each had their own archetype, or pattern of behavior throughout the series. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling specifically demonstrated these archetypes.…

This example is the creation of Dumbledore’s Army. This alliance formed as a coalition against the policies of Professor Dolores Umbridge who had been sent by the Ministry of Magic to oversee the school. Students did not agree with her policy against teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, so they decided to meet in secret. However, this turned into an underground movement to undermine her authority. Together, these…

The Gospel according to Matthew was written because his community was suffering from an identity crisis. Mathews Gospel deals with two important concerns to his community; the first is the destruction of the temple and the loss of their land. The destruction of the temple and loss of their land happened to Matthews’s community in 70 AD.

essay will also be exploring the instructional strategies that I would use to effectively develop the literacy learning of the students in my classroom. Literacy is the ability to comprehend the English language through reading and writing. The Ministry of Education (2003) defines literacy as “. . . the ability to understand, respond to, and use those forms of written language that are required by society and valued by individuals and communities” (p. 19). Oral language is also…

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…

Harry Potter is a movie series filled with fantasy scripted from a series of seven novels written by J.K Rowling. 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…

According to the bible, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is the main religious leader for Harry Potter. He was the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, thus, known as Professor Dumbledore. He was a half-blood which is a muggle (human) as well as a wizard. Besides, Professor Dumbledore was also described as an epitome of goodness. Harry Potter plays a huge role in this religion. Harry is known as the greatest disciple of the witch and wizardly world. He was a half…

Another practice that Orwell displayed was the use of torture to make people confess to crimes they never committed. In 1984, Winston was brought to the ministry of love and underwent torture in order to break his will and rebellious spirit in a way that in the end, nothing will remain except his love for Big brother. They achieved this through prolonged torture and brainwashing. By bringing Winston to his limit and making him think that he was being spared by his torturer, the torturer manages…
