I am writing on behalf of the hero Neville Longbottom to nominate him for the 2017 Nobel Morality Prize. I believe Mr. Longbottom should receive this award for his courageous acts portrayed in his last seven years of his schooling. Neville has wholeheartedly built his character showing traits of faith and bravery to help the great of good for his school, and the entire wizarding world, because of this, I feel confident that Neville is deserving of this fundamental award. Mr. Longbottom maintains characteristics such as confidence, courage and leadership that have helped him do tasks such as making friends, learning in school, and contributing his talents …show more content…
to defeat the Dark Lord. His commitment to servicing the phenomenon Harry Potter has been quite essential in defeating Voldemort.
Neville participated in several battles such as the the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, the Battle of the Department of Ministries and the Battle of Hogwarts. With each encounter with an opposing wizard that young Neville faced, it helped build Neville's ever growing talent and confidence in his magic. In Neville’s first year at Hogwarts, he stood up to his friends when they were to sneak out after lights out, although he may of been defeated, he still stood up for the good of the school and for the safety of his friends. “There are all kinds of courage, It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.” This quote from the legendary Albus Dumbledore reflects on one of Neville's several courageous acts, the most known, fighting at The Battle of Hogwarts. Leading up to the battle, after Harry left to search for horcruxes, Neville took over and colead Dumbledore's Army with Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley until after winter break . Ginny and luna didn't return to school for awhile after christmas break, so Neville single handedly lead the DA. When the teachers at Hogwarts on the Dark Lord's side of the second wizarding war found out Neville was
holding DA meetings again, Neville was tortured and beaten, soon enough he escaped to the Room of requirement. There, Neville set up camp, saving students of Dumbledore’s army from the harm of the teachers. With the the room of requirement, Neville guided Harry, Ron, Hermione, and members of the Order of the Phoenix into Hogwarts to fight the battle against Voldemort and his Death Eaters. When the battling began, Mr. Longbottom, using his talents from herbology and from the DA meetings, battled against dark wizards, contributing to the victory at the Battle of Hogwarts. To help finally demolish the Dark Lord, Voldemort, Neville had the ability to pull the sword of Godric Gryffindor out of the sorting hat, destroying the final Horcrux of Voldemort, his gigantic snake Nagini. This made a significant difference in not only Neville's life, but all of the lives in the wizarding world were now safe from the dark wizard we call voldemort, benefitting the future of safety in the life of wizards. For the 2017 Morality Nobel Prize, I believe that Neville Longbottom is the superior choice for the receiver of this award. Neville deserves this due to the lack of recognition for his acts, and because he is not your average hero. Neville is set apart from others heroes and candidates due to his growth of courage and talent from his 7 years of schooling at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Please consider Mr longbottom for this years Morality Prize. Thank you. Theodora Westside
Charley Goddard when into the war when he was fifteen years old he when into the war only to be a man. He was not thinking of what he would have to live on, the conditions he had to live under. He was not thinking that he would have to see the things that he had seen, doing the things that he had to do to stay alive. When Charley entered the war he wasn’t scared mostly because the didn’t do much. When the war really started to “kick up” or become more intense he started to get scared, he almost threw up half of the time. He didn’t think he would have to walk and take cover from dead men- dead friends. When Charley was out of the war he was twenty one. He was walking with a cane and is complaining that he was too old. When Charley said he was too old he wasn't talking about his age he was talking about the things he had seen.

There is no doubt that Miss. Strangeworth is not an easy person to deal with, let alone live with, and although her character is fictional, there are many people with the same personality. We can tell quite easily that she is a very meticulous woman, with a lot of perfectionist tendencies, a few of which are to nitpick people’s lives and make sure that even the most minute detail is up to her standards. I know of someone with these attributes and as difficult as they are to deal with, with their list of requirements to be met and their eagle-eye for detail in even the smallest things, they mean the best, and are always trying to help, despite the possible repercussions.
“Don’t judge a book by it’s cover, it’s what’s inside counts” This quote reminds people about how they should not judge other people from the outside but look deep into their true personalities. Looking from the appearance and how Chris lives, everyone would assume that Chris is a crazy, foolish person and does everything without thinking. If people try to know more about Chris, they would have different perspective. Chris is intelligent, determined, independent and follows what he believes. He went into the wilderness to escape from the society that tries to suppress him and look for the meaning of life.
A Ticket out of the Past By (Teresa) Yung-Ching Chuang. Life is like an ascent, the more you climb, the higher you will get. J. C. Burke skilfully undertakes this philosophy as a source of inspiration for ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’. It is not another crazy adventurous tale with a heroic storyline that seems unrealistic; the novel is about individual representation as Burke insightfully illustrates the long and slow journey of Tom Brennan, navigating through his road of self-discovery that eventually leads to his destination and achieves his “ticket out of the past” (Burke, pg 182). The catalyst of the novel is a traumatic car accident causing two instant deaths and one paralysis.
The novel ‘Jasper Jones’ and the film ‘Jindabyne’ both use the representation of characters and their relationships to challenge the treatment of individuals with regards to race, class and gender. The historical contexts surrounding these two texts sets the basis for the stratification and racial discrimination present. The lack of dignity that is depicted between the relationships formed between characters displays the regard in which communities treat each other. ‘Jasper Jones’ and ‘Jindabyne’ are comparable texts as it is clear that the gap between these communities has reduced since the time period of ‘Jasper Jones’ when compared to ‘Jindabyne’, however, it is identified that this gap still exists.

In The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, Lady Brett Ashley is a representative of the New Woman, changing the American landscape.

Mania is an excessive enthusiasm or desire, typically with a negative intention, and that is what Roger Chillingworth suffered from. Throughout the novel, he goes out of his way to make the life of Arthur Dimmesdale awful. He tortures Dimmesdale from the inside out, psychologically outsmarting him at every turn. Chillingworth claims that Hester is the reason he has acted so awfully, but it is not common for others to agree with him. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Chillingworth’s deep desire for revenge is understandable, as he was a decent person before he found out about the affair, but then turned into a maniac in his quest to exact revenge on Dimmesdale.

Media makes celebrities seem as if they live life facing no problems or hardships. In reality, they do not live a perfect life, but that characteristic of celebrities' life tends to go unseen. In Charles Dickens’s, A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens develops Mr. Lorry into a character where business engulfes his life. Mr. Lorry continually tries to suppress his emotions using many different strategies. Even though business is always Mr. Lorry’s top priority, he always has a special place in his heart for the people he cares about, the Manette’s. Through the use of characterization and dialogue, Charles Dickens uses Mr. Lorry to promote how humanity overrides one’s business side no matter how hard they try to suppress it.
