Marie Warmbold's Harry Potter: Oliver With A Magical Twist

The Presentation of Miss Havisham in Chapter 8 and in Chapter 49 of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Did you know Charles Dickens infused his life into his books? There are many similarities between the books A Christmas Carol and Charles Dickens and the Street Children of London. However, there are also many differences.

My book report is on the book 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone' by J.K.

Knoxville, Tennessee is known for many things, especially known as a college town. Little did anyone know that on March 26, 1968 a superstar would be born, and the star would not be known for throwing, running, or catching footballs but singing (“Kenny Chesney.”)? The country genre did not know it for a while, but it had a person that was going to bring country music to new heights. With a mix of some traditional country music mix with some rock country and island country music it would make Kenny Chesney a very successful country artist.

Oliver Twist (1837-39) and Nicholas Nickleby (1838-39) were his next two novels (victorianweb.org). Both were extremely successful, and Dickens’ fame spread over the next few

Charles Dickens was an imaginative, charitable, and influential person. Dickens was not only imaginative but charitable as well. Dickens made lots of money but, he also gave away a lot of money. Not only was he lending money to his family, but he was giving money to different charities for the poor. As a result of his generosity many charities were able to stay open and help many people living in the slums. Dickens thought everyone deserves the chance to have a better life. He was able to convince people to change through his writing. Oliver Twist was one book that changed people's minds tremendously, he portrayed life as an orphan growing up in a workhouse from young Oliver’s point of view (Warren 55-62). After reading Dickens novel people

On 18th April 1894, to celebrate the inauguration of the school the Governors of The Hanley Higher Grade School, awarded a scholarship to twelve-year-old Charles Vyse. During the following year, he gained a further scholarship, which guaranteed him an additional year’s education. In the autumn of 1894, Charles Vyse enrolled at Hanley School of Art to attend evening classes. All the Potteries Art Schools owed their allegiance to, and dedicated their pupils to the service of the pottery manufacturers. At Hanley Art School the Principal Samuel J. Cartlidge (1857-) was assisted by the Frenchman, Francis Jahn, a young, dynamic tutor of sculpture. Significantly, both S J Cartlidge and Jahn had working knowledge of pottery production

In Teares’ article, “Harry Potter and the Technology of Magic” she argues that stories enact both fantasies and fears of children's literature. The fantasies cause the children to be more cultured however, the fear of the youth becoming eager consumers exist. Along with this argument, Teare also argues the publishing in the twenty-first century commercializes the culture. The kids want technology, souvenirs and toys but in reality these items do not benefit them.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to live in a book? Well Oliver, is the main character of a story, and he does not like living the same life, every time someone turns the pages. Okay, maybe the book life isn't for you, have you ever fallen in love with someone in a book? Or even a movie or video game? That is what happened to Delilah, a teenage girl, who falls madly in love with Oliver. The two come together when Oliver switches places with someone in the real world, using magic. Everything is great until the book realizes what has happened, and wants Oliver back. Both worlds, the book and real life, will do whatever it takes to get it the way they want. What will happen, and who will

In both the stories, Oliver Twist, and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, the authors use amazing dialogue to describe the characters. To start, the two characters I pick from the excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, is Oliver and Mr. Bumble. First, Oliver is treated very cruel. He is very innocent and pious throughout the excerpt, even through his cruelty. In the excerpt it states, “In other words, five and Oliver Twist were offered to any man of woman who wanted an apprentice to any trade, business, or calling.” This line really shows that people didn’t want Oliver, so they had him up for trade.

In a biography journal about Dickens, a passage states that “His early life is a current element in most of his novels. The bitter experiences of his childhood helped him to empathize his topics. The main problems Dickens mentioned in Oliver Twist were the deplorable conditions of children in the Victorian

In conclusion, both books seem to have much in common, such as feelings shared by the main characters, as well as themes dealing primarily in social injustices. Both Pip and Oliver reach a point in which they have a realization about the society that has mistreated and neglected them. This epiphany results in a change in each characters direction in life. A change in moral, social, and political instincts occurs. It is the society that tries to press their conformist ideals upon them, that ends up

The author intends to illustrate that Curley’s wife’s life was “lonely” in the sense that women during the Great Depression. In the context of time, because of a high rate of unemployment, women were treated as clerks, who had much a lower social status than men. Steinbeck wants to portray the causes and effects of isolation on Curley’s wife as a representative of the women living at that time, through his personal experience in working in ranches during the Great Depression.

Probably there was no other author in Victoria time that had such an in number worry about wrongdoing, and fused such a great amount of depiction of wrongdoing in his functions as Charles Dickens (1812- 1870) did. Oliver Twist was the second novel of Dickens distributed in a serial structure in a magazine titled Bentleyʼs Miscellany run independent from anyone else from February 1837 to April 1839 when Dickens was still a columnist. In England, from the 1830s to the 1840s, a lot of wrongdoing books were distributed. Oliver Twist was composed simply During that period. Most faultfinders and book commentators of Dickens ' lifetime based their surveys of Oliver Twist on one standard: how reasonable this novel was. Particularly, depictions of a group of lawbreakers in London in this novel pulled in consideration and were the engaging point for quite a while.

The movie adaptation of J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a very pivotal movie in the series. Like the book, this movie is crucial in setting up an understanding for the rest of the series. Therefore it is important that the movie complements the novel as much as possible. Using one of the most essential features of a movie; visual imagery, the movie adaptation of the fourth novel is a good accompaniment for the novel. The visual imagery in this movie emphasizes emotions and reactions that we cannot possibly obtain from the book. For example, the death of Cedric Diggory at the end of the movie strikes a powerful emotional response as a result of his father, Amos Diggory’s grief. Seeing him cry makes the audience more
