needs be nothing aesthetically valuable or unique about that upon which an imposed phenomena is generated. Is it something special about the Harry Potter books that has caused such a sensation or is the sensation artificially manufactured and simply centered around them? An understanding of commodity fetishism supports the latter position. If the Harry Potter books were, indeed, worthy of such widespread adulation, then the support for them would have naturally risen up from the readers rather than being

certain type of evil prevails no matter the circumstance. One specific fictional character fits the criteria for evil, Tom Riddle. Riddle, also known as Voldemort, has copious amounts of people’s blood on his hands, from his father to James and Lily Potter. His actions would directly align with Oxford’s definition of evil: “profoundly immoral” and “wicked.” (Oxford2) In

Nearly all writing exhibits rhetorical elements to convey the writer’s message in a meaningful way. These techniques assist the readers in connecting with the author to fully understand the message and can also be used by the writer to influence the audience to feel a certain way about a topic. As Doug Downs said, “Some people learn to be rhetorical experts who can take those underlying principles shaping human interaction and finesse them in specific activities,” (460,1).Using rhetorical elements

Olympians series. Published in 2005, the series has since grown to include multiple spin-off series, many of which tie back in to the Olympian series. Many of the readers of Harry Potter would also be interested in this series, as it also involves magic, previously unknown parentage, and adventure. It differs from the Harry Potter series however, in that it is written all from Percy Jackson’s point of view. This right away is going to make the film version of the book completely different. The book starts

dad found on TV. The film industry has always been a gateway to another world for me, and I have always enjoyed sitting down by myself or with a group of people and watching a good movie. The movies The Sound of Music, High School Musical, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone have all had a significant impact on my life and most accurately describe who I am today. When I was younger, I used to watch The Sound of Music all the time. My mom has always loved that movie, and we constantly used to

Life In Between The Pages Everybody reads. Everybody has picked up a book at least once in their life and flipped through its pages. Everybody reads, but once they reach that final page, do they feel an indifference, or do they feel a personal connection? From early childhood to young adulthood, reading has always been a part of my life. Reading had always been important to me because as a child, I was very shy, and being an only child, I had a lot of time on my own, so I often turned to books to

First things first, I’m not like most kids. In my seventeen years of life, I have never once fallen prey to the typical student mindset of “man, I hate reading.” The story of my life as a reader has nothing to do with learning to appreciate what literature has to offer. It’s a story of me learning how to accept myself, as well as being inspired to better myself, with the help of books. It all started when I was about six years old. Every single night, without fail, one of my parents would read to

Every human being at a very young age is introduced to some type of cinema one way or another. Whether it’s a play or film we all experience these prescreened scripts early on. The types of cinema that we seem to enjoy the most are ones in which give us the best memories and those that seem to coincide with our personalities. For example, starting at a very young age I’ve always been the jokester in the family. Therefore I seem to gravitate towards comedies on the big screen because of my personality

I fell in love with books when I was probably about two. No matter where I would go, I would always bring a book along with me to read. I remember sitting at hockey games with my mom and my dad, not even glancing at the game because I was too busy trying to read my books. My favorite book as a young child was called 'Commotion in the Ocean'. I most likely was drawn to the book because of the vibrant illustrations, but the short stories in the book were what made me love it. I would ask my mom or

Down By The Station: Down by the station was my favorite book when I was little. This is mostly because of the song my mom sang with the pictures. The other part that would be entertaining to a kid is the bright colorful pictures of the baby animals going down, one by one down by the station Inch By Inch: Like Down by the Station, it had a song that went with it, that I can still remember to this day. For a while this was my bedtime story every single night because I loved it so much. The Purple
