“Drifting, weightless waves cannot break this because we try so hard to save it it is not too hard to save it” Harry mumbled the lyrics he had been fumbling with for hours. Feeling unsuccessful, he leaned back and rubbed his temple with his large hands. Singing had always been something he was extremely fond of, as he found it soothing to write all of his hidden feelings onto a page that only he could look at. Writing songs was not as easy as he had thought it would be. Sure, getting the chords down was straightforward enough, but he never seemed to be able to find the words that went with them. Harry assumed the problem was that he had never actually been in love before. How can you write a song about something you know nothing about? …show more content…
Sighing, Harry realized the lyrics would have to wait for another day. “Harry Edward Styles! Are you ready to leave or not?!” His mom yelled up the stairs. He whipped his headphones out of his ears, realizing from her aggravated tone that she must have been calling him downstairs for quite some time. "Coming,” Harry hollered down to her as he flung the suitcase on his bed shut. Although he was in a rush, he closed the suitcase slowly because he liked to watch each side of the chain come together as the slider zipped the bag closed. It was one of those soothing things that relaxed him. It seemed to slow time down, even when everything around Harry was going too fast. His mom had told him that ever since he was a little boy he had a bunch of these strange quirks, and Harry never knew if that was a good thing. He usually strayed from anything that would make him stand out. “Harry! The bus is going to arrive in ten minutes and you still have to eat something. Niall will be here in 5. HURRY UP!” his irritated mother called up to him once …show more content…
Nothing could make him tear his gaze away until Niall tugged on Harry’s sleeve, motioning for him to shove his things in a row of luggage compartments on the roof of the bus. “O-Ok,” he stuttered. Although he felt quite weak in that moment, he managed to place his bags above his head, blushing when he felt his shirt fly up as he lifted his arms, exposing the bottom of his smooth tattooed stomach. He had always loved getting tattoos because no one truly knew what they meant but him. They all had a special meaning that no one could take away from him. Finally, he lowered his arms when his bags were settled nicely, and he quickly pulled down his shirt. Before he sat down he looked diagonally one row behind him to where the unknown boy was. Even with the boy's curls covering part of his eyes, Harry could still see the alluring blue eyes fixated on him. The boy smirked at Harry and he felt his cheeks start to burn. Usually the moment he saw anyone’s eyes peering at him, he would look away so fast it would seem like he hadn’t seen them. Somehow, it was different with this boy. Harry was not afraid of making eye contact with him. He didn’t know why, and that fact scared him, but almost in a good
stories. Not always she was willing to tell one of them, but, fortunately, this was not one of those nights. She asked everyone to come closer and showed them one of her tattoos, on a spot on her left shoulder, usually hidden by her long black hair.
Unlikely heroes are one of a kind. Atticus and Ponyboy in the books, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, are heroes in their own ways, and look at the world differently than others. In these books, communities in the 1900’s have to deal with many immoral stereotypes, and when they deal with them, they are mistreated in their communities. However, when they get treated unfairly, they still decide to fight against the immoral stereotypes in their communities. Unlikely heroes such as Ponyboy and Atticus have to deal with immoral stereotypes and being shunned as an outcast, but by comparing and contrasting how these characters face these, we learn about the ways of the unlikely hero archetype.
In Harry Potter, Harry’s scar represents the four elements of life: rain, earth, fire, and water. All of those four elements symbolize that scar, but what is symbolism? Symbolism is a literary term that uses symbols to represent ideas or qualities about something. Symbolism is not only used in Harry Potter, but in both “The Gift of the Magi”, written by O. Henry and “The Scarlet Ibis”, written by James Hurst. Both authors used symbolism, just in two different ways. O. Henry used Della’s hair and Jim’s watch to symbolize their love for each other, whereas James Hurst used the Scarlet Ibis to symbolize Doodle. For example, in the quote about the bird traveling so many miles and then it dies under the tree, is not only foreshadowing, but symbolizing Doodle because Doodle has come so far by learning how to walk and run, but died in the end under that same tree.
Harry Barry was a young boy. He couldn’t wait for his first day of kindergarten. He couldn’t wait to spend eight hours a day with his best friend, Mary. However, Mary got sick, so Harry had to go alone to his first day of kindergarten. Harry was very scared. When Harry got there he thought, “This isn’t so bad,” but then they went out for recess and Charles, who was supposed to be in first grade, walked towards him. Charles shoved him on the ground and yelled “Hey Hairy Harry, can you see through your ugly mane of hair.” At this Harry began to cry and cry. So after recess Harry told the teacher that Charles, Francisco, Danny , and Petey had shoved him on the ground. So the teacher went over and asked them and some other students if Charles
I agree with Professor Stone, when he talked about the violence in The Old Testament, granted in just about every story told in The Old Testament there is a war or some other type of violence. He talks about Pharaoh of Egypt for instance and how he considered himself to be God and he appointed top rulers in about 30 towns of Canaan. Pharaoh sent the Egyptians to Canaan and the surrounding towns and stripped them of their best workers and made them out of salves. Moses by Gods hand freed them from the Pharaoh and was tasked to bring the children of Israel to the promise land. Moses got upset when he came off of the mountain and saw the Israelites worshiping false gods. He broke the Ten Commandments into 1000 pieces and this made God displeased.
Fictionalized accounts of historical events often provide valuable information that may improve overall understanding of human history. Things Fall Apart, and The Mission are works that are different because they focus on different areas and periods, but they explore similar themes such as colonialism and Christian missions. The primary argument is that Okonkwo and Rodrigo Mendoza are similar because they focused on masculinity and tried to fight for oppressed people, but Mendoza’s will is much stronger because he was able to find hope thanks to the Jesuits.
There are multiple reasons for individuals to tattoo their bodies and the reasons are usually individualistic and subjective. The experience of being tattooed is intricately bound up with one’s character,
The article by Michale Osteling, ‘Harry Potter and the Disenchantment of the World’, examined the controversy between the views of the conservative Christians and the Secular Mainstream, about the children’s book series, Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling. For many conservative Christians, the book is seen as a portal to the New Age, Wicca and diabolical magic. For the Secular commentary, which included liberal Christians, view the book as a make believe, so it should not concern Christians, because it is not a real occult magic. It is more of an instrumental rather than religious and parallels technology (pp6). For Osteling, the book brought a breath of fresh air, and a source of wonder to our boring modern existences (pp 4).
Harry kept his head down, eyes transfixed on the paper before him as the train rattled and swayed from one side to the next. Everything about his posture conveyed his yearning for solitude, though that didn’t seem to deter Louis from staring. He had started his journey two seats in front of Harry, his blue eyes shifting back to glace at him every few seconds. Now he moved with the sway of the train to the seat beside the boy. He had never been a nervous soul and spontaneity was his forte. It was now Harry was forced to look up. “What are you doing?’ Louis asked with a raise of his brow. Harry’s own drew together. “Writing.” Louis brushed wisps of bottled, cherry bomb red hair from his face. Last week it had been blue, purple the week before
There he was again, staring out a window. This time, Harry was watching the suburban empire from which he had narrowly escaped, fly past in a dizzying blur. The bus was small and oddly smelled of raisins, but he was on his way. He had managed to elude Petunia’s hawk-like watch on him and prevail against all odds. In his hand, he still tightly clutched the locket, half afraid it would suddenly slip through his fingers. Quite honestly, it wouldn’t surprise him if it did. In the wizarding world, anything was possible. Which was sometimes an unprecedented problem. Through the hexes and curses, riddles and potions, it could be hard to know what to believe. Harry was so sick of being lied to. It was an infuriating game of tag and chase. Every
“Harry, I-I didn’t mean to do it. Tom made me. He… He…” I tried to get the words out, but my mouth wouldn’t say it. Harry brought me closer and hushed me, rocking me back and forth.
he tries not to stare but louis can make out the shape of tattoos underneath. the need to see what they are begins to burn deep inside him.
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.
“Hurry up Jayde! It’s time for you to get ready for your first day at your new school!” said Jayde’s mother.
