Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets, By J. K. Rowling

Tom´s conscience has been at him lately over the murder of Doc Robinson. He promised Huck he would ¨keep mum¨ about it, however he feels different about it now. If he were to report everything he had seen, he would feel better about himself and his decision to tell. Muff Potter would be truly thankful and would praise Tom for revealing the truth. The consequences of not telling tremendously outweigh those of speaking up. Tom may still be leaning towards keeping the secret because Huck is one of his best friends. Injun Joe is still out there and he has a reputation to get revenge against those who have done him wrong. Tom could be concerned for his own life

The first part of the diary starts with her being a regular girl having fun and turns into a girl going into hiding with seven other people. In addition, she has to deal with relation problems with her mom, sister, and the people she is in hiding with. The problems begin when eight people are confined in a small area and everybody begins to irritate and annoy one another. Anne was especially concerned with herself and with her attitude towards the others in the group. She's mainly concerned with her mother who always treats her like baby. Mr. Frank tires to ease the quarrels between them by telling Anne to help out more around the house, but Anne stubbornly declines preferring to concentrate more on her studies. She especially gets plenty of confrontations with Mrs. Van Daan who thinks she is a spoiled little girl. Mrs. Van Daan constantly tells Anne’s father, “ If Anne were my daughter.” Anne’s respond to this in her diary was, “Thank heavens I’m not!” Of course

They hold all of our thoughts that we don’t want to reveal to anyone else, and also they hold really personal things between you and other people. They shouldn’t be broken, but when they are you can easily face the consequences. I selected this because secrets can hold fears, and this is a great example of it. No one could know you have a fear, and that is your secret. My reaction to this quote is that the world “also” means with someone else. This shares a connection with another person, and this is when a relationship bond starts to form. I thought this was important to note because even though it seems so simple it holds a lot of meaning to it. A few words could actually be a whole essay depending on what point you’re trying to prove. Secrets are hard to uncover, unless you can’t keep them. Other than that, this short and simple quote has a huge meaning to

I 'm doing it because – I don 't reckon my dad would 've wanted them to become killers – just for you." (Rowling) Harry’s quote shows Harry has really matured and wants to do what’s right. Harry also shows maturity that he doesn 't want anyone other than Voldemort to die. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry’s quest is to discover Voldemort’s path by looking through the Pensieve and discovers Voldemort put his soul in things called Horcruxes. Harry must also accompany Albus Dumbledore to destroy one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes in the caves. After they get to the caves Harry must save Dumbledore’s life after he drinks poison. Harry must then fight Severus Snape after he “kills” Dumbledore. Harry believes he needs to kill Voldemort,"I am the Chosen One. I have to kill him. I need that memory." (Rowling). From books 1-6 Harry grows a lot to discover what he needs to do and why he needs to do it. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry’s quest is to escape the Death Eaters and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Voldemort calls to Harry and Harry realizes he is a Horcrux so he must accept death. Voldemort shouts Harry Potter is dead in front of everyone at Hogwarts. Harry springs up and attacks Voldemort. The final battle starts. Harry’s main goal is to face Voldemort and kill Voldemort’s snake, Nagini. While Harry is fighting Voldemort, Neville Longbottom kills the

Most secrets start with self preservation. Most are started out of telling ourselves we are being kind to the other party or parties involved, but in reality we are avoiding repercussion of our own thoughts or actions. Keeping secrets can cause guilt, anger, sorrow etc. These emotions can and normally will manifest in an assortment of physical ailments. Depression, headaches, ulcers etc or over time can be the root of many major health crisis such as cancer, heart attacks etc. Keeping a secret overtime will change your core values of life and how you react to others and life choices. Sometimes you will make choices on the fact that you are trying not to divulge your secrets and this can alter your life and

When revealing the secret to her daughter Ellen she wrote, "Ellen, this is a secret you have promised grandmother never to tell. If you ever speak of it to anybody, they will never let you see your grandmother again, and your mother can never come to Brooklyn." The secret that needed to be kept was a secret that only family can keep. No one in Jacob's family would ever have betrayed that information because if they did it might mean the end of Jacob's life.

Soon after entering Hogwarts, Harry must face a road of trials which will eventually lead him to achieve his unlikely treasure. While roaming the halls after curfew, Harry receives detention in the forbidden forest, and comes face to face with the Dark Lord. Other obstacles come to place when Harry travels down the trap door into the chambers; such as devil’s snare, a human wizard’s chess game, and the room of keys (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone). The series of tests make Harry’s mission difficult; however, the knowledge he gains from the unsuccessful trials bring him closer to his main goal. These minor bumps in Harry’s journey strengthen him emotionally and physically, readying him to defeat the traitor at the end of his succession of tests. Unexpectedly, the betrayal comes from the quivering Professor Quirrell who voluntarily gives up his body to the Dark Lord. Harry sees himself in the mirror and realizes he is magically in possession of the Sorcerer’s Stone. Shortly

Think back to some of the classics. Even then, all those years ago, authors still knew the necessity of secrets. The Secret Life of Bees, a novel written by Sue Monk Kidd, explores this topic as well. Lily Owens, the daughter of a farmer, runs away from her abusive father, and takes her African American nanny and housekeeper, Rosaleen, who is in the hospital with injuries, with her. From chapter two of the classic, onwards throughout the entire book, there are secrets upon secrets. But each and every one of those secrets was necessary to their survival. Lily would have been returned to her abusive father and would surely have been hurt in retaliation for running away and Rosaleen was only in the hospital because three racist white men had hurt her because she would not apologize to them for attempting to register to vote. She was also supposed to be in jail. For Rosaleen to go back, would be agreeing to return to the heinous conditions of her former life. Thus, she and Lily had to keep the secrets. It’s just a fact of life – everyone keeps secrets. No one should ever forget

Secrets aren’t as bad as people think, they exist to maintain balance towards people’s emotional and physical state. Secrets mean different things to different people, many would think they’re just stories waiting to be told or stories waiting to be found out; however, some would say secrets are meant to be kept to the person keeping it. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne depicts how secrets can burn you from the inside just like how the Scarlet letter burns you metaphorically, just from how Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale and Chillingworth react. Although, he provides good evidence on why secrets should be kept a secret and unrevealed, since secrets may not also affect the one person, but also other people in the community.

b. He is ashamed that he wasn’t able to keep his family safe. c. He thinks that Anne is talking about him when she says, “In spite of everything.” d. He doesn’t believe that people are good at heart, and he is ashamed of this feeling. 31. Why is Anne Frank’s diary an important historical document?

The Twentieth century was fraught with many tragic moments. The two main tragedies of this century were the two world wars. Many lives were lost due to these wars and many nations grieved these losses, especially Britain. The world, after the two wars, turned to despair and all faith and trust in God in a movement of modernism. Through this movement of modernism people rejected the idea of the antiques and lost faith in religion. With the world wars, leading to the postmodern period, this only got worse. People believed that God left them as they all asked the question, not so new to us, why has an all-good God allowed all of these horrible things to happen? When people have placed their trust in an all-good, all-powerful God and He does

In Anne’s diary her hideout, also the setting of the book, is a big reason why the diary is how it is. Because of their setting, it shows how the theme of war is all around the Franks and they are lucky not to be caught. For example, because they shared their home with an office building, the Franks witnessed some attempted robberies. On March 25,1943,  Anne states, “ Mr.Van Daan got up and put on his coat and hat and followed Daddy cautiously downstairs, Peter took up the rear, armed with a large hammer in case of emergencies. The gentleman reappeared five minutes later and told us all was quiet in the house. The excitement had affected most of our tummies, you can imagine the atmosphere was like when we had each paid a visit in succession”. The burglaries in Anne’s diary remind us that every day they had to be worried about something. It kept the readers wondering what will happen next.

Harry Potter is a series that contains many appearances of secrets and revelations of truths. These secrets and truths can be used to explore several types of politics and teach several political lessons in the real world.

In, J.K Rowling’s Philosopher’s Stone there are a number of references to ancient mythologies. The events, characters and creatures in the story are not purely fictional, most of them relate to ancient mythology embedded in different cultures. According to Joseph Campbell, American mythologist, when people think of mythology, they usually correlate it with Greek mythology. This is illustrated through examples such as the dog Fluffy, the Philosopher’s stone, magic numbers three and seven, and also its characters, like Harry Potter, Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Hermione. According to Campbell, myths provide direction, teaching young people about their own life and culture. To do so J.K. Rowling’s novel Philosopher’s Stone, rewrites modern versions of ancient myths, therefore they provide relatable guidance and teach young readers about their lives. The novel fulfils this need by providing engaging action and supernatural events.
