Plot - Harry Potter has to lead a hard life: His parents have died in a car crash when he was still a baby, and he is being brought up by his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. For some reason the bespectacled ten-year-old, the Dursleys made him live in the small chamber under the stairs, and treat him more like vermin than like a family member. His fat cousin Dudley, the Dursley's real son, keeps bothering Harry all the time. On his eleventh birthday, Harry Potter finally receives a mysterious letter from a certain Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry, telling him that he is chosen as one of the future students of that supposedly renowned school. Hagrid, the gigantic man who brought the letter, finally introduces Harry into the real circumstances of his life: His parents were a wizard and a witch, they were killed by the evil wizard
Voldemort protecting him. Harry still has a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead from that event. Since he survived the attack as a baby, and also somehow deprived Voldemort from his powers, he has been famous in the wizarding world ever since. The Dursleys, strong disbelievers in that magical crap, never told Harry anything about his true self. So, Harry is strongly surprised, yet absolutely happy to start his training. At
Hogwarts, Harry meets his teachers, and becomes friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The three of them accidentally find out that the potions master, Severus Snape, seems to plot on stealing something that is guarded by a three-headed dog. Since nobody would believe some first years to have found out such important things that even would incriminate

    The Chrysanthemums by John Steinbeck and Shiloh by Bobbie Ann Mason have many similar components with slight differences. The point of view in Shiloh is told by third person limited, and in Chrysanthemums it is also third person (mostly Elisa’s view.) The Chrysanthemums is a story about a wife named Elisa Allen who is unhappy with her life and marriage. Similarly, in Shiloh the main character's name is Norma Jean Motif, and she is also unhappy with her marriage. These stories struck me as interesting because of the unique time period they are set in. Chrysanthemums was published in 1938, and Shiloh was published in 1982. Both characters show signs of wanting to become independent and gain more freedom. Also they both have masculine characteristics because of the motivation to independent. The comparison of gender roles, point of view, and setting are big factors of why these stories work together to be so similar with slight differences.…

    He then refuses this call when he tells Hagrid, "I think you must have made a mistake. I don't think I can be a wizard." He receives supernatural aid from Hagrid, who is really just an extension of Dumbledore, the predetermined caretaker of Harry Potter when Harry's parents died. The death of Harry's parents actually becomes a symbol and extended metaphor. His mother's love becomes a form of protection for him, because she sacrificed herself for Harry, out of love; the same love that continues to protect Harry throughout the novel. Harry crosses the first threshold when he enters Diagon Alley for the first time. Diagon Alley is considered the root of the wizardry world, this is where every wizard keeps their money, buys the necessities for wizarding, and where everything that is associated with wizards is found. The Belly of the Whale stage is often seen as the "initiation" into the new world. Harry's initiation is when he first enters Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor, one of the four houses at Hogwarts. In Harry's overall Journey, Harry learns the entire prophecy. This new knowledge transforms Harry's identity so that he now sees himself as a "marked man;" he feels separate and apart from the rest of Hogwarts (or the rest of the world, for that matter), and most…

    K. Rowling. We are presented to Harry’s ordinary world, and he receives the letter to Hogwarts. In this movie, Harry refuses to believe that he is a wizard and the mentor, Hagrid, is responsible for proving this to him and for leading Harry through stage 5. Once in the school, the stages 6 and 7 flows naturally. The stage 8 is when Harry finally faces Lord Voldemort, the man who killed his parents and Harry, therefore, his biggest fear. After had defeated the enemy, at least for now, Harry recovers and with a picture of his parents (the reward) in his possessions, he goes back to the initial point, but not the same as he was.

    Harry came from a family of apple farmers and was given the name-sign Apple by his older brother, Ray, because of how he loved to pick up the apples from the ground and carry them around in his pockets. He misses his family at school, but he has a few adventures to take his mind off of it. He sees his first motorcar on the way to a local hearing church on Sunday. He is taken by surprise and amazed to see something like that before. He seeks out to find another motorcar or something similar to it, maybe even find one in Muncy. He enjoyed this new sport of football that he learned in school and helped strategize a way to beat a team from a hearing school who came to play. With this type of interaction with other students from the school, Harry has managed to make new friends from his classmates. He also endured tutoring from Mr.Bertie to help teach him how to speak. At first, he wasn’t really interested in learning anything and easily became bored. But when Mr.Bertie took him to the stable and showed him how to stop a horse from running by just yelling, he became open to the idea of learning. Harry rapidly absorbed…

    On their trip they stopped at a diner for dinner, where Harry preceded to further establish Sally’s first impressions of him by making a pass at her and explaining his theory that men and women could never be platonic friends due a man’s sexual intentions with a women. Sally objected and dismissed Harry of ever being a friend, although he was going to the only person she knew in New York City. Both of their first impressions were based upon their own previous experiences, values and beliefs. Harry had dated a lot, he had been sexually active with a lot of women and chose to base his first impressions of Sally on this knowledge. Sally on the other hand, sheltered and inexperienced, used only her knowledge that she had to make her judgments of Harry.…
