Harry Potter Vs Zodiac Legacy

Harry Potter is a fictional character invented by J.K Rowling in the series of seven books starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone and ending with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Wikipedia, 2015). Harry is the main character in this series whose parents died when he was young and he was brought up by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.5). Harry was neglected by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.27). Harry is presented a whole new reality when he goes to the zoo one day and his integration into the magical world changes him from the foundation. These changes within him will be analysed using the developmental psychology theories of Lawrence Kohlberg and Erik Erikson to explain how the environment aided or obstructed Harry’s development.

The two text are similar for various reasons. They are generally similar because they both have someone attempting to deny or rebel against society or government and they both get are unsuccessful and killed in the end. As seen in Harrison Bergeron this conflict occurs when Harrison

The power of manipulation is a very powerful tool and can easily be misused to benefit

‘His power to manipulate people comes from his insight, not only into their weaknesses, but into their good qualities. He sees what they are, and plays unfeelingly on good points and weaknesses alike. Often he lies, but often gains his ends by actually telling the truth.’*

Both fiery, bloodthirsty, characters have much in common when looked at under a microscope, with their constant rabid temper and bottomless heart for battle. At the start

Anyone who has ever paid close attention to the way different news stations change the facts around in the favor of their opinion or what will build rating realizes how the media can affect a person’s perception of reality. Likewise, people who read books and then later watch the movie based on the book quickly realizes that the movie never really fits the book. The producers take items out and put items in to not only make it their own but make it a “hit”. The movie Zodiac is no different than others; however, it is closer than most to accuracy. James Vanderbilt did an amazing job at bringing the facts to life; however, a few of the inaccuracies will be discussed.

Power corrupting individuals also applies to literature and fictional novels. One example of power causing corruption is found in a novel called Animal Farm by George Orwell. Animal Farm is a story about animals ruled and dictated by humans. Eventually, the animals overthrow their human dictator, Mr. Jones, and try to form their own government. After a pig named Napoleon was declared leader, he gained power which caused him to become corrupted. Napoleon dictated the animals and the entire farm throughout the novel. Napoleon considering himself as powerful as God is an example of Napoleon?s level of corruption. One loyal and

People with power can manipulate others by controlling them so the one with power receives what they want. For example in Antigone, by Sophocles, King Creon showed power for the worse by manipulating his followers to support his decision on not burying Polyneices. Also, when Antigone disagreed with him, he threatened to stone her. This shows that people with great amounts of power, like Creon, do not care about other people's

First, the plots of both works need to be discussed and explained how they are different. The stories of both works have basically the same

Manipulation can be used by great leaders. Napoleon and Joseph Stalin used manipulation in a very violent way. For example Napoleon would kill any animal to get the other to do whatever he want then to do. He also chased Snowball off the farm with the help of his dog so that way he can be in charge of the farm. During the Russian Revolution Joseph Stalin

Good deeds cannot be deemed good without the bad to compare them to. To have a good versus evil plot, there must be a good side and an evil side. The good is the pure and kind acts while the evil is the opposite. Although Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, written by J.K Rowling, and Star Wars: Episode IV a New Hope, directed by George Lucas, are at first glance very different works they both have similar elements of the good vs evil plot. They both have the same structure of a good side, the same structure of an evil side, and a battle between the two sides.

How does being manipulative take control of others? Manipulative people pretend to be sincere before showing their true colors to benefit themselves for success. Those people also usually master deception to trick others into accepting artificial personalities before revealing the truth. Shakespeare uses the character Cassius in Julius Caesar, to show how manipulation is done by demonstrating inner thoughts, the comparison of characters, and writing of letters throughout the play.

In the first story, “Cat and Rat: Legend of the Chinese Zodiac”, it take place in China where the emperor is having a race between all the animals in the land, including cat and rat, to see which 12 animals are going to be in the calendar, or the zodiacs. In the second story, ”How Cats and Mice became enemies”, it also takes place in China but instead of a race two animals, cat and mouse, are traveling to the village. These are the two stories that I am going to be comparing and contrasting there theories on why Rat/mouse and Cat are enemies.

Harry Potter: The Books vs. The Movies It's a dangerous job making a book into a movie, so much can go wrong. Harry Potter is a fictional story about a young man who is told he is a wizard and begins his journey to defy all odds and destroy evil. Although it’s a classic good versus evil battle, Harry has many obstacles that make for an incredibly difficult journey, but he inevitably conquers them for the benefit of the wizarding community. When he arrives at Hogwarts, he is respected by the majority of other students, and received by almost all of the teachers as a gifted young wizard.

“No, I’m much worse.” said the evil witch as she cackled and flew away on her broom.
