The protagonist in my choice novel is Harry Potter and he represents the human condition by how we live together in the human society. In this quote Harry sees his friends for the first time in a long time.Having people who you trust is one way we all live together in the human society. “The warm glow that had flared inside him at the sight of his two best friends…” (Rowling 63) Harry sees his friends Ron and Hermione and is overjoyed. I know this because the words “warm glow” imply how happy he is to see his friends. In the next quote explains how many people care about Harry. “Molly, you aren’t the only person at this table who cares about Harry” (Rowling 90) The quote says that Harry is important to many people.

But beneath the special effects and dramatic background music lies a plot that is rich and teeming with situations that are Social Psychology textbook definition perfect. The three social psychology concepts that stuck out the most during the movie were the use of the fundamental attribution error, conformity, and willingness to help.

    The play I picked for my director’s notebook was Harry Potter and The Cursed Child by Jack Thorne, J.K. Rowling and John Tiffany. A few factors went into me choosing this as my play. These reasons include the buildup that went into the revealing of the play itself as well as the idea of all the technical elements that I’d heard so much about in the previously referred to build up. This play also holds a lot of significance to me as a person due to the way the original series helped me grow up and I feel this play may do the same.

    In Of Mice and Men, Cry, the Beloved Country, and All Quiet on the Western Front, the respective authors present the idea that relationships of all sorts, whether they be friendships or family ties, change peoples' lives even if they don't necessarily know it. Even strangers a person would never meet again could irrevocably change their lives in a matter of seconds. A smile or a kind word could have a huge amount of impact on a person's life, as could a frown or a nasty statement. Of course, friends have a much more lasting impact on a person's

    The people that live in this society show the theme of how important individuality is to each and every person. The first and main reason why individuality is key to a person's life is because it allows them to think and act like themselves. If no one is allowed to think for themselves then “Everyone belongs to everyone else”(Huxley43). There would be very little reason to live with joy throughout a day because everyone thinks and acts the same which only means that you are only part of the big group.

  • Analysis Of The Book ' Harry Potter ' By J.k Rowling

    1159 Words  | 3 Pages

    J.K Rowling, or Joanne Rowling, was born in July of 1965 in England, where she also grew up. J.K Rowling wrote the award winning series of Harry Potter. After grade school, Rowling went to college and received a degree in French and Classics. After college, Rowling moved to London and became a researcher, and in her biography it explains that she did this while still having other jobs. My assumption is that the researching job did not provide well enough to support her. One day while stuck on a delayed train is when she got the idea for her Harry Potter series. She started writing then and already had the plots made for the books shortly after. She knew within a few years how many books she would write and exactly what was going to be happening inside of them. It is said that J.K Rowling was married for a short period of time, although her marriage did not work out and she ended it. After moving, she began to write the first of the Harry Potter series. This was called Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. There are many rumors as to how the name became changed to this book, but the most common one says that the U.S did not like the title and changed it before publications. This is not addressed on the J.K Rowling website. This book sparked a revolution of the Harry Potter culture.

  • Reflection on Tuesdays With Morrie

    ...suit for academic excellence and development of a professional career while neglecting several other important things in life. This can leave one unhappy and unfulfilled. Love is one of the greatest needs of man. Loving others and being loved by others is indispensable to living a fulfilled life. I agree with Morrie that “love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone” and his belief that we must "love each other or perish.” The message of the book is like a knock on the door, the decision lies with every reader to open the door of communication with better relationships to others. I choose to open mine. I chose to become more open to letting others into my world. I resolve to contribute at least a smile, a shared laughter or a compliment to those around me today because life is too unpredictable to procrastinate on giving such little indispensable gifts.
