Anne Rowling Research Paper

On July 31, 1965 around Bristol, England Joanne Rowling was born. Rowlings parent’s Anne Volant and Peter Rowling met on a train and later married March 14, 2965. Her father worked as an apprentice production engineer at an aircraft company, and her mom was a lab technician (Adney and Holly). At around age two, Rowling became an older sibling to her sister Dianne, and they grew up together playing and storytellin. She loved rabbits and they and her early writings, and made her want to become a writer when she wrote a story about a Rabbit and Miss Bee which she says sparked her love for writing. Rowling moved into the Tutshill where she got the county aspect of life, and her and her sister would go into the fields by themselves to play “witches

She suggested Rowling relocate to where she lived for family support, so Rowling moved to Edinburgh to raise her daughter with help from her sister. She got a job as a French teacher and aspired to finish her novel on Harry Potter before she began. She would write her novel mainly in coffee houses during her daughter’s naps (Authors and Artist). This was not an easy life for Rowling because she didn't have a job she later recalled how terribly humiliating it was collecting welfare checks from the post office. Even though Harry Potter gave Rowling some hope, she struggled with depression and even had suicidal thoughts; nevertheless, she pushed on because of her daughter and dreams to become a successful writer. This is where she got the character Dementors, creatures that were a way of showing depression. So, Rowling decided to pursue postgraduate certification in education so she become a teacher once again. She began this course in August of 1995, about the same time she was finishing up the manuscript for her first Harry Potter book. She knew it would be challenging to get her book published because she was an unknown author, but she was able to send her manuscript to publishers. (Authors and Artist). All Rowland wanted was to get Harry Potter published even though she knew that children authors did not make a lot of money. She had an agent reject her and 12 rejections from publishing agencies before

Because Rowling helped children of all races and cultures discover the joy of reading she received the Spain's Prince of Asturias Concord Prize in 2003. In 2004 Rowling launched a website the received 17 million viewers each week; however, Rowling’s writer career had not come to an end. Rowland wrote and illustrated 7 copies of a new book called Tales of Beedle the Bard, and she gave six of them to friends and auctioned off the seventh at 1.95 million pounds, making it the most expensive book in the world. Rowling gave all the proceeds from the auctioned book and gave it to the children's charity, Childrens High Level Group. However, later Rowling published the book, and once again, all the procceed went to the charity. Although Harry Potter was a huge part of Rowling’s life, in 2009 she told her fans that her life has not dialed down since Harry Potter ended, and that she among everyone has suffered the most from the ending of the series (Authors and Artists). Rowling gave a speech at Harvard in 2015, telling the student to not give up on their dreams, and how to learn from failures as she did in life. (Encyclopedia of World
