Marvin Shipley is a very interesting character in Margaret Laurence’s novel‚ The Stone Angel. The story is written from the point of view of Hagar Shipley‚ who is Marvin’s mother.

In this novel Marvin Shipley is portrayed to us as being timid‚ reserved‚ weak and unmannerly. Marvin is a softhearted man. We see this many times in the novel. He is a

In the “Your a Wizard Harry “ scene from the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone‚ Harry clearly make it an open pane that he wants change in his life.

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone‚ Harry Potter is the hero of the story. I believe that this movie follows Joseph Campbell’s model about the pattern of a hero’s journey. Campbell wrote that there were three stages in every hero’s mythological voyage. For the following five paragraphs‚ I compared the first stage‚ Departure‚ with the beginning of the movie.
