Comparing Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone

We all have two choices in life: to live life joyfully or despondently. The choices we make define our future, which

It is very important to make good choice in life. You should always think before you do and go over all alternative options rather than making a poor choice. Bad choices can reflect heavily on your life while good choices won’t do any harm. Try and make the best choice in every scenario for yourself and for the good of everyone. One bad choice can cause your life to turn around dramatically in the span of a few minutes.

Decisions are what direct a average person's life. Some decisions are easy some are hard. But that’s the way of life and how it works.

Everybody comes to a point in their life when they need to start making decisions between everyday things. Some choices are as simple as ‘what do i want to eat for dinner?’ but some are a bit more stressful like ‘do i want to go to school even tho im feeling a little nauseous, but i would be missing out on a lot of work.’ but some can be very much more stressful..

Every action a person takes is the result of having thought about what it is they think they should do and then doing it. Life is riddled with problems that require solving. Decisions are complex matters that require careful judgment and problem analysis especially when one is in a role where others look up to them and are affected by their decisions.

The choices the Wes Moore mothers made early on in their lives greatly influenced their futures. Author Wes Moore chose to no longer run away from military school because of his understanding of authority, which he obtained from his mother, his path changed despite where he was previously heading. However, the other Wes’ mother failed to take initiative to help Other Wes with his drug addiction, leading Other Wes down a winding path. The easier choice will be made in difficult times by someone who has not been positively influenced and redirected. Someone who has not set their path straight in life is incapable of helping others set their paths straight.

To what degree can an individual’s choices and actions influence the direction of his or her life?

The decisions people make often have a significant impact on their lives. They may seem insignificant now but could change your whole future. Everyone has to make decisions on a day-to-day basis, some are simpler than others but the fact is everyone makes them. In fact Elie Wiesel had to make some tough decisions. Which involved life or death, due to the Holocaust.

“Make bold choices and make mistakes. It's all those things that add up to the person you become.” -Angelina Jolie. This quote is unquestionably true in the story Tangerine by Edward Bloor. In the book a great many choices affected the main character Paul and made him who he is. Choices seem to be a main component in this story.

My connections look at how certain choices can affect your life forever. The texts that I used to convey this link were The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Slumdog Millionaire directed by Danny Boyle, The Shawshank Redemption directed by Frank Darabont and a poem by Robert Frost called The Road Not Taken. Throughout the texts used we learn that you cannot always see the outcome of a particular choice unless you choose to go down that path. An important decision is made by the main character(s) in each text and they suggest that not all choices are easy to make and can have positive and negative consequences.

Some of your decisions will be so routine that you make them without giving them much thought.

Harry Potter has lots of differences between the movies and books. Even if they may appear similar on the surface, they are very dissimilar once you look beyond the outer similarities. The best movie/book to contrast is the first movie of the deathly hallows and the book, mainly because it has the greatest similarities between the book and the movies. The possible reason why the movie has the least amount of major differences is because, It was split into two parts which allowed it to remain more loyal to the original text. There are ten differences between them but there are some noticeable differences which do not contract very much from the overall quality of the movie.

As of 2013 there were 450 million Harry Potter books printed globally, meaning there was a Harry Potter book per ever 15 people. This book to person ratio is probably comparable to Grecian citizens who heard Homer’s Odyssey, one of the more prominent myths created by the epic poet. In modern times fantastical novels, such as those in the Harry Potter series, have acquired the same prestige as ancient myths and serve some of the same purposes through their entertainment of the general populous. These novels have come to captivate a generation and that popularity is in part due to the appropriation of key concepts in the tried-and-true myths of ancient times, clearly evident in the presence of characters such as Minerva McGonagall and her function as a teacher, protector and mentor to Harry Potter. Rowling, a single mom at the time, wrote these stories in order to create another world, similar to how people like Homer wrote fantastical myths in ancient times. Throughout the Harry Potter series Minerva is brave and strong, yet with certain human characteristics that are simply not found in the ancient myths, making her a perfect example of the modern blending of classical ideology with the modern fascination of the strange and reality.

Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone by J.K Rowlings and Booked by Kwame Brown are very similar. In Harry Potter, Harry just found out he is a wizard and goes to hogwarts.

In Booked by Kwame Alexander. Nick finds out his parents are getting divorced and this shocks Nick’s world. But He has his friends help him through it.

Your life is your life, end of discussion. Every day you wake up, take shower, put on clothes and go to school or work. After a long days’ work you come home, put your jacket down on the dining room table chair, walk into the kitchen, open the fridge, take out something, eat it, then most likely kick back and relax on the couch and drown out in television for the next few hours. Now let’s rewind back to the beginning of the day. Everything you did this morning is something that you learned to do previously, all of the decisions you made during the day were made based off of things that you learned. It’s something that was taught to you or something that you learned. Nevertheless, making decisions, doing everyday tasks and most importantly
