Harry Potter Persuasive Essay

Death, the one thing every person will eventually face, could be seen as an end or an entrance. What is your extent of a friendship? How far are you willing to go to help the person you care for? For many reasons, the majority of people think murder is immoral—especially if it was your own best friend. But sometimes we may have to go to the extreme, as long as we know it was the right thing to do from the heart because that’s how much you know you care. In the story Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, I strongly believe that George was right to kill Lennie.

I am going to agree because I personally believe that no one is going to be perfect and able to always make the right decisions and judgements. Just because they are leaders or experts doesn't make their claims automatically correct. It is necessary for people to challenge against the authority they are disagree to make it better for other people. Just as the book Fahrenheit 451, and the slavery time period in America.

Some of the burden is a result of students putting pressure on themselves to earn scholarships. Then, there is the burden of high college debt once the student graduates. Is this pressure really helping our students or is it hurting them? The bottom line is college tuition is skyrocketing out of control and something must be done before it destroys our families and our children.

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

The other fight in the Hunger Games In a society where the poor are punished to parish in an all-out battle royal, this is the society that Suzanne Collins had created. In the world of the Hunger games the twelve districts are reminded yearly of their status, not only to the capital but to each other, in the annual hunger games. The further from the capital the lower each districts status is. Lower districts have a severe disadvantage in these games as the upper districts have what are essentially career tributes, people who train for the hunger games. On top of that majority of the lower districts suffer from widespread hunger while the capital and many of the higher districts don't.

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.

Another quote that was important to the story and characters was when “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."Dumbledore explains the connection between the major heroic lessons in this novel. The bigotry of pure-blooded wizards, Harry's ability to defeat Voldemort, and Harry's own heroism, are all addressed by these words. Heroism is unconnected to a person's history, family line, or encounters. Both Harry and Voldemort are great wizards, but what they do with their greatness tells the most about who they are. Harry Potter saves Ginny Weasley and sets Dobby free; Voldemort manipulates the masses to commit murder. Dumbledore's words constitute the greatest truth in the book, and make Harry the appropriate hero. Harry takes what he is given and uses it to the best of his ability.
