There were ones that didn’t seem particularly fond of Harry. One of them was Snape, he picked on Harry in class when he couldn’t answer the questions he asked correctly.

During his life, James experienced a great deal of racism. At school, when he was bothered by his classmates, he sat quietly and did nothing. James was a shy and passive as a child. He says that later, anger would come to him, fiery and powerful. He was surprised by it and wondered where it came from.

Harry Potter is a fascinating tale of sorcerers, wands, broomsticks, dragons, and magic. The story begins with a young boy named Harry Potter who lives at number four Privit Drive, Surray, England. His journey begins after the death of his parents at the hands of the evil Lord Voldemort. Harry learns of his past and his future as a wizard from Hagrid, the keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He travels to Hogwarts where he learns spells and enchantments, makes new friends, finds enemies, and discovers fantastic secretes. J.K. Rowling weaves a web of impeccable storytelling with this critically acclaimed novel. In the tale of Harry Potter imagery, symbolism, and motif take central focus.

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the character of Sir Gawain, nephew of the famed Arthur of the Round Table, is seen as the most noble of knights who is the epitome of chivalry, yet he is also susceptible to mistakes. His courtesy, honor, honesty, and courage are subjected to various tests, posed by the wicked Morgan le Fay. Some tests prove his character and the chivalrous code true and faultless, like the time he answers a challenge although it might mean his death, or remains courteous to a lady despite temptation. Other tests prove his character and the chivalrous code faulty such as the time he breaks his promise to his host, and when he flinches from a harmless blow.

Dwight Lyman Moody once said, " Character is what you are in the dark." This means that a person's true character is brought forward when they go through challenges. I agree with this quote, when people go through hard times the unimportant things are stripped away, and they have to learn to grow and adapt despite the obstacles they face. In the book "The Hunger Games," Suzanne Collins shows how some people's challenges change them for the better, other characters don't know how to cope and take longer to adapt, and how people's reactions differed from each others.

“We could be killed, or worse, expelled” Hermione Granger, student in the Harry Potter series. The character she portrays is a young witch who attends Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hogwarts is a school that accepts only witches and wizards, and teaches them to cast spells. These skills will prepare them for life in the wizarding world. Recently, strange things have been happening at Hogwarts ever since Harry Potter came. So, Harry and his friends take it upon themselves to save Hogwarts. Hermione is one of his friends, and she is a very complex character. She is very brave because she fights for what she believes in. In addition, her cleverness is inspirational as she is extremely good at spells and has a great work ethic.

Atticus' wise and understanding attitude is because he is quite aware of the fact that each human being has positive and negative sides. He always focuses on the good part of the people around him and in each situation he finds excuses for their aggressive or bad deeds. For instance, he forgives Mrs. Dubose's for the bad words she said to his children about him and he almost forces Jem to read to her during her last days. After she dies, he speaks to Jem and Scout about his admiration for her courage in resisting morphine addiction. Atticus once tells Scout that "you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view", and at the very end of the novel states that she is grateful to her father for letting her know that "you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them"(33). This attitude also makes Atticus tolerate Mr. Walter Cunningham and Bob Ewell aggressiveness towards him. Atticus is able to see beyond other people's deeds and thoughts and thus he is highly respected for the wisdom with which he deals with difficult situations.

A trickster is “someone who tricks or deceives people especially in order to get something” (Merriam-Webster). Examples of the trickster archetype can be found in the Odyssey by Homer. For example, while Polyphemus has trapped Odysseus and Odysseus’ crewmates in his cave, Odysseus tells the Cyclops “Here, Cyclops, try this wine-to top off the banquet of human flesh you’ve bolted down” (Homer 222 lns. 388-389)! Enjoying the wine, the Cyclops demands for more, just as Odysseus anticipated he would.

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

Harry potter and the prisoner of Azkaban is an excellent book. Out of ten stars I would rate this one an eight because it was to short. Once you get into it and finish it. It seems so short, because it is so interesting. Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban starts out with a bang. In the beginning Sirius black a Man accused of thirteen murders in one night escapes from Azkaban.( A wizard prison guarded to the tee by dementors, deadly spirits that feast on anything happy. Basically they suck the life out of you slowly until you go mad and lose sanity). Harry runs away on the same night and crosses the man without realizing it. Since Sirius is an ananamugus he is able to turn into a giant black

He was surrounded by all white classmates in school who would taunt him about his skin color and the fact he had no answers to questions about his background. But when out of school premises, the uncomfortableness continued. He would be embarrassed being around his mother since she was the only white woman. His town was discriminated in the 60’s so it was rough for his whole family. The only colored man James felt connected to was his stepfather. When he passed away, James’ rebellious actions began. He began feeling ostracized from the rest of the world and to ignore all of his problems as well as racist people he began using drugs. He stopped attending school to meet up with his dealer on street corners and when he would attend school he would disrespect his teachers and put no effort into his work. Also, as a way to get attention, James would normally steal from local stores and along with disrespecting his teachers he would disrespect his mother. She noticed his misconduct and tried to make him remember his morals and all his beliefs he had growing up along with even having the thought about moving. But he dismissed all she had to

During those times, segregation was still much alive, but besides their differences, Lily was still very attracted to him. On page 119 she thinks, “At my school they made fun of colored people’s lips and noses... I could pen a letter at my school to be read at opening assembly that would tell them how wrong we’d all been.’ This implies that Lily is straying away from her racist views and does not agree or understand the discrimination. Additionally, Zachary told her, “Lily, I like you better than any girl I’ve ever known, but you have to understand, there are people who would kill boys like me for even looking at girls like you.”

Sirius, being who he was, followed this up with Remus’ father, who resented the accusations. Sirius let him get away with it this time, if only because he did send some of his old Rolling Stones records for his last birthday. Records which you’d think Remus would know the lyrics to given their previous possessor, but alas, the second time of hearing him say, “I can’t get no girly action.” instead of “I can’t get no girl reaction.” proved him wrong. This was also followed by a laughing James and Peter, and an indignant Sirius.

In James’ case he knew that if he worked hard at school he could gain his fathers approval. However it seemed that he was in the shadow of his brother, who was also under the same pressure. He had turned to cheating to get better marks to avoid his father’s disapproval. James’ own sense of right and wrong were being clouded by his loyalty to- and competition with his brother, also his need for approval from his father and his sense of duty to protect his frail mother by “not

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
