Her favorite books included the stories of “The Little White Horse” by Elizabeth Goudge, “Manxmouse” by Paul Gallico, and “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis. As a young six year old, she wrote a story about a rabbit who was named Rabbit. In 1990, she started writing the first Harry potter book after a train ride with her boyfriend. She has said that she had many ideas but she did not have a pen on the train and why very shy at this point, so she didn't want to ask for one. When she got home, she started writing all her ideas and the first chapter. She wrote nearly every night and then sent the first three chapters to an agent in 1996. Rowling has always had thoughts of publishing. She even thought as a six year old to do this, sadly this never happened and we will never get to read the story of Rabbit the rabbit.

            Many people don’t realize that art is involved in everything. I think that as a society it is our responsibility to support, promote, provide access and education to the history and or practice/appreciation of the arts in our community. To be honest when I think of art I think of famous paintings but in reality, everything around us involves art. Through what I have learned in this class so far I have learned that there is more to art than just a painting. Through art we can communicate the things we can’t necessarily see or articulate through spoken or written speech; it acknowledges that which is hidden to the naked eye, and it has a transformative power that allows us to access parts of ourselves and the

Good art allows me to flee the realms of reality. In my mind's limitless consciousness, I can escape the mundanity of everyday life. It opens a door in my head to a world only limited by my imagination. I am no more a slave to gravity, chained down on the earth when I am reading. I can be a bird and soar high above the clouds, or be a fish and swim deep down in the darkest depths of the ocean. I am there, I am that person, and everything else around me regardless of what it is, fades away. Sometimes these people are the one's I'd like to be but sometimes I encounter nefarious characters I wholly condemn. I am able to feel the emotions that the artist intends for me to feel. However, it is not merely reading or listening, but understanding

The Surrounding Art John Butler once said,“Art changes people and people change the world” Art is all around us; choosing what we wear, how we act, what we think, and what we say. It provides society diversity, and gives life that punch of color it so desperately needs.

As of 2013, there were 450 million Harry Potter books printed globally, meaning there was one Harry Potter book per ever 15 people. This book to person ratio is comparable to Grecian citizens who heard Homer’s prominent myth the Odyssey. 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. The influence of ancient myth is clearly evident in the presence of characters such as Minerva McGonagall and her function as a teacher, protector, and mentor to Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling, a single mom at the time, wrote these stories in order to create another world, similar to how 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.
