When people read teen fiction, I liked to read older, more classical books like “Romeo and Juliet” or “Cyrano de Bergerac.” These types of books have always been my refuge, the place to go to when I feel forlorn, and one of the only activities I feel comfortable in. when I read I picture myself in their position with an exciting, interesting, and adventurous life to distract me from my worries. When they started to get smartphones to take selfies, my priority was to get a polaroid camera. Sometimes I took my camera to school and the kids characterized me like characters in books do. The people I read about had inspired me to show who I truly am and who i wanted to become. Literature can help many people become courageous in life. They give role models, persons to admire that can change the perspective someone has of

The power of love in Harry Potter is unlike any other. So much so that it is an overwhelmingly significant and recurring theme throughout the entire series. From the self-sacrificial love of Lily Potter to the loving mother Molly Weasley to the unrequited love of Severus Snape. There is also the misunderstanding, or the absence, of love; which is equally as important in the novels. Especially since it was the main difference between Voldemort and Harry that was incredibly essential to the storyline. So essential that J.K. Rowling went out of the way to tell us about it in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when Dumbledore said, “if there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love” (229, SS). The concept of love is woven so inextricably within the very fabric of the novels, that it continues to challenge the reader all the way until the very end.

All this has added to the growing popularity of the Harry Potter brand that is everywhere today. Young readers can relate to Harry’s issues and the books create another world the readers can subconsciously ‘escape’ too.

The love story is one of the oldest and most cherished traditions in any world culture. The prevalence of romantic works throughout history, whether Greek myths, Jane Austen’s dramatic narratives, or today’s dime-a-dozen romantic novels, ultimately encourages us to believe in the power of true love. We identify with the archetypal star-crossed lovers, who combat established convention in order to assert their romance, because we too yearn for our own “happily-ever-afters.” When used in conjunction with reason, love is the highest form of compassion – without it, we could not possibly interact productively with one another or develop as individuals. But when we take a new perspective and examine love as an independent,

Stare at any little girl, and watch her starry eyes lost in wonder as Cinderella kisses her prince, Rapunzel is saved by her hero and Aurora is awakened from her spell with a kiss of ‘true love’. And, of course, it all ends Happily Ever after…Even their hair still looks glamorous when the clock strikes 12. That is, until the heartbreaking realities of the real world kicks in and destroys that little girls dream. Then what? THE END. Subconsciously, without us knowing, the media and entertainment platforms have hardwired us to believe the highway to successful living, fulfilled lives and abundant acceptance is via relationships. We’ve been fed absolute rubbish. We’re sick of it. We don’t need boyfriends to thrive.

The series has been an international bestseller for many years now and has encouraged million of children to love reading, including one little girl from Minnesota...me. The first years of my elementary school experience were difficult for me, mainly because I hated reading. No matter how hard my parents and teachers tried to encourage me to read more, I refused, annoyed by the mere idea. Finally, in second grade my teacher showed me a colorful hardcover book titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Although I was incredibly skeptical, I very soon changed my mind. From the first sentence of “Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much” (Rowling, Joanne K. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 7) to the very last line of “All was well” (Rowling, Joanne K. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 759) the Harry Potter series captured my attention and imagination. Soon I became an avid reader, devouring each Harry Potter book, as well as any other book I could get my hands on, which caused my test scores in reading and vocabulary to skyrocket, putting me near the 90th percentile for reading for the rest of my elementary school career. By sixth grade, I was reading at a 12th grade level and loving every minute of

Love is a big part in William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet. This play is about a young girl and boy, who fall in love and so wanting to be together, which eventually led to their death. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare was trying to convey the message of how love can make people do things that they most desire and do so by making sacrifices for each other. This lesson can be demonstrated, not only in the 15th Century but in today’s life. In conclusion, the two “star-crossed lovers” met their demise at the end of this tragedy due to their undivided love for each

Today, romance is one of the most popular genres to watch on television. Unlike most, romance is a genre where the plot revolves around the love between two main characters as they experience the highs and lows of love. “Common themes that revolve around romantic movies are kissing, love at first sight, tragic love, destructive love, and sentimental love” (Taylor). These themes appear in many historical films and the pattern still continues in modern films as well. Watching romantic movies has a giant negative influence on the viewer's analysis of what love and relationships should really be like. These films give the wrong impression of reality when it comes to dating, marriage, having children, and even how to manage a relationship in

Using imagination and creativity, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series has defined literature as transformative. In this seven-book series J.K Rowling imagined and creatively pieced together a fantasy world of muggles, wizards, tyrants, and heroes to symbolically share with readers problems plaguing modern society. Similar to Shelley’s work of the past, never before have readers in the modern era seen teenage and adult mania surrounding an 11-year-old wizard. Some will argue that J.K. Rowling’s young-adult series lacks depth or wants to twist young minds by using magic and evil, but through close examination it is evident that
