Thomas S. Hibbs’ expository essay “Memento Harry” (2011) examines the recurring notion of memento mori in Rowling’s Harry Potter. Hibbs affirms that the Harry Potter series is a tribute to memento mori, “the virtuous cultivation of the memory of death.” Hibbs utilizes parallelism by presenting that the awareness of mortality is the assertion of “life over death, love over hate, and community over isolation,” incorporates logos by analyzing that “remembering and preparing for death are central virtues”, and relates Harry Potter to The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe in order to demonstrate that death is only conquered through selflessness. Hibbs perspective on the concept of memento mori is certainly penetrating and he persuasively
Hagrid had to explain to him his past and when Harry learned everything he accepted it and was brave enough to go with Hagrid and begin his journey to the wizard world. This also demonstrated the theme of the supernatural. Diagon Alley shows an opening into the wizard world. He got his wand and all his other objects he needed to fully begin his journey. “Harry then did something that was both very brave and very stupid: He took a great running jump and managed to fasten his arms around the toll’s neck from behind” (176).
Dear J.K. Rowling, Hello! I am Ellyanna Page, and I’m an 8th grade student at Shadow Ridge Middle School. I read your book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone due to my love for Harry Potter ever since I was little. In this letter, I am hoping to learn more about your book and even tell you about a few observations I made while reading it.
The Sorcerer’s Stone introduces the human part of wizard prejudice when Malfoy explains that “some wizarding families
Jeon Jungkook plays a lot of parts in Hwang-Geum Nabi. Like Namjoon, Jeon Jungkook was a jack of all trade, he understood every part of the gang and he was very useful in all, he understood the drug trade, he understood the gun trade, and he most definitely understood the sex trade, which is why most of the time when the sex trade needed help, his father always send him over. In Hwang-Geum Nabi, the sex business was pretty wide and spread, each section having its own set of rules, punishment, whores, and management. The section that Jungkook personally hated was the “Red District Street Whore”. The “Red District Street Whore” was a section in the sex trade business which had the least amount of rules, but a hell of lot restrain and punishment.
In "Harry Potter," the main character,
The central racial conflict in the Harry Potter series stems from the ever-present juxtaposition of the Muggles, or non-magic people, and the Wizarding community. Considering the attention Rowling devotes to this theme in books two through five, the title Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was of no surprise. In Book Six, Rowling turns to a more personal investigation of racism: the question of what makes an individual persecutor racist. The readers get an insight into the source of Voldemort's quest for power and racial purity: his own perceived inadequacy. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the racial tension is heightened as the ministry of magic itself rallies behind pure-bloods are superior motto, “MAGIC IS MIGHT” (Rowling, Deathly Hallows 198).
Chronicles of Narnia is an action packed adventure written by C.S. Lewis, he wrote this book for a little girl named Lucy Barfield. The genre is fantasy. I believe that the theme of my book the Chronicles Of Narnia the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, is never giving up and trying again. I believe this because in the story, when Lucy first finds Narnia, and tells her brothers and sisters. They don’t believe her, so she tries again and again.
There 's always the "what to read while waiting for the next HP" question for some of us, but...now don 't get upset folks - I like Harry Potter as much as you do - "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" has a modern, hip, even urban style that people weary of Harry 's earnest heroism may actually PREFER. Plus, people with an interest in legends and myths will bug their eyes out with excitement, because the premise of "Percy Jackson" is that there are a handful of kids who are in fact the children of Greek gods and goddesses, who had come down to dally with modern Americans. These kids, called "half-bloods" in the book, grow up not knowing their origins, alienated by their disjointed lives and absent parents. (A nice conceit of the book is that many half-bloods have dyslexia, but only because their minds are wired for ancient Greek, and ADHD, but only because their minds are wired for hunting, a notion that should give a lot of comfort to real kids

Harry always puts his friends first, and in this book one of the people who are put in danger is his close friend Hermione, and in the end his best friend’s sister is abducted. The book’s theme can be compared to many other books, for example The Hunger Games. Katniss, the main character in that book, volunteers to be a part of a dangerous game so that she can protect her little sister. But the book is also about character development and being a good person.
