The Tales of Beedle the Bard
Book Name: The Tales of Beedle the Bard Author: J.K.Rowling

Lets have a brief summary of the book first. This book contains five fairy tales of the fantastic magical world of Harry potter. Each story carries a parable or a hidden meaning behind it. If you can’t get the meaning after each story, there will be a chapter behind it telling you the theme and the background of the story.

The most exciting and unforgettable part of this book is the story of the three brothers- when the three brothers traveled through a bridge above the river, which is made by themselves with their wands’ they saw the Death, but guess what? The Death didn’t kill them, but give three of them three wishes and them let them left. Isn’t this an extraordinary thing for the Death to do? The answer is obvious, isn’t it? This is because all the wishes are up to no good; the Death will get their lives eventually with their three wishes. The ending is obvious, all three of them were dead at last…

The Death gave the oldest brother the wand that can conquered death, however, one day a greedy and jealous wizard stole his wand. For good measure, he killed him.

As for the second brother, the Death gave him a stone that can bring people out from hell and get back to life, however, that people won’t be able to talk. The second brother brought his lover back, but since she couldn’t talk, he killed himself to join her in the hell… What an idiot!

For the third brother, who is the cleverest one, wished Death to give him something that enabled him to go forth without being followed by Death. And therefore, he didn’t die luckily.

I think that this part is the most important to the whole story because it’s the ending! Without the ending the story will be incomplete and the readers will never know the meaning of this story. The ending of the story is definitely, absolutely the soul of the entire story since this is the most exciting and interesting sections. If I was allowed to make

    This Passage reminds me of the similar situation that has happened to Liesel when her younger brother, Werner, died suddenly during their trip to Germany. Similarly, Arthur Berg is also going through this situation, but with his sister dying in his arms. Also, when death, the narrator says that he "could sense [that] he would hold her for hours," it reminds me of Liesel shaking his brother as she doesn’t believe that he is dead. (Zusak 167) As well, these passage allows the reader to understand that death can arrive at anytime, leaving their loved ones in sorrow, which is also one of theme that is revealed through this piece of…

    And here comes this huge winged beast, who breathes fire from its mouth; bringing the half of the kingdom down to ashes. A dragon has come to challenge our might of our hero. And as per the norm, despite his old age, our King accepts. He puts on his sword and armor once more, and combats the beast. Our king struggled for the beast had the upper hand. But we all know that a dragon is no match for the mighty Beowulf. Our king slits the dragon’s left wing holding its flight to lower grounds. Once our hero successfully placed himself into position, he cuts through the dragon’s skin and reaches for its heart. The dragon wriggled and fought but he was overpowered by our mighty Beowulf. He grabs a hold of the dragon’s heart and rips it from its body. The dragon completely falls down to the ground, dead, but leaving our hero poisoned to death. And here we are, mourning.

    The presence of death reveals itself to the book thief within both celebration and mourning as her life of words cycles on. In a state of partial sleep, Liesel “could see without question that her younger brother, Werner, was now sideways and dead… [for] his blue eyes stared at the floor seeing nothing” as Death tenderly “knelt down and extracted his soul” (20-21). The book thief’s primary encounter with Death would always stay with her as she watches her sickly but beloved brother depart from this world in a train carriage. Liesel senses Death’s presence as she gazes at the dying pilot and the two “recognized each other at that exact moment” from the scene of “a train and a coughing boy [as Death] slowly extracted the pilot’s soul from his ruffled uniform and rescued him from the broken plane” (400-401). An intimate sharing of identity occurs as Liesel faces the sight of death’s mark on humanity alongside Rudy and recognizes a sense of solemn passing in this occurrence. This passionate adolescent witnesses death at its climax as she sees “the bodies of Mama and Papa both lying tangled in the gravel bedsheet of Himmel…
