Riddle

ago, at the Riddle House that stood on top of the hill above Little Hangleton, the Riddles (like the name suggests, the owners of the Riddle House), consisting of Tom Riddle Sr. and his parents, have been found dead in their house.

Bilbo wins the riddle battle through wit, trickery, and intuition which causes him to grow out of his Shire mindset. Bilbo’s use of wit in the riddle battle gives…

Ekaku Hakuin teaches that learning through Kōans (a paradoxical anecdote or riddle) and doubting can lead to enlightenment. That it is only by using Kōans and doubting things that we look at objectively, can we find what we are truly looking for. I relate this to everyday life. It is easy to get swept up in the flow of everyday life, taking things as they are, as face value, and not questioning things when they need to be questioned. For example, throughout most of primary and secondary school,…

If James Dashner’s book “The Eye of Minds” was made into a movie, it would be a lot like the series The Maze Runner, a recent high action adventure movie. If I was going to create this movie, I would include the Battle of Greenland, the first fight scene between the main character (Michael) and the main villain, Kaine, “The Path”, the route to the main villain’s hideout, and the end fight scene. I think the Battle of Greenland should be in the movie because of all of the action and adventure in…

depicted in the Harry Potter series are a group of radical pure blood supremacists without fear of government consequences, much like radical Nazis. Another parallel between the Purebloods and Nazis are the likenesses between Adolf Hitler and Tom Riddle. For instance, both leaders led similar lifestyles. Both Hitler and Riddle’s fathers left them alone with their mothers at a young age (“Parallels” 1). Adolf and a young Tom both had mothers that cared deeply about them and were supportive and…

knowledge. Not only was the word, “riddle”, difficult for David to decode but it appeared as though he had never seen the word before. Him saying “rid…lee”, showed hesitation, and him continuing to read riddle in that way showed confusion. I order to understand the chapter, previous knowledge on riddles was needed. Without knowing what a riddle is, the entire first page would make no sense, as a riddle takes up most of the page. To figure out the answer of the riddle, prior knowledge on oysters…
