Scorpius Persuasive Letter
Dear Mrs. Budeša/Mrs. Engel, 4/5/17 Have you ever wondered what happened after the last harry potter book? I read Harry Potter And The Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling. Harry’s son, Albus, goes to hogwarts and meets Scorpius. They become best friends and both get put into the same house. In the end they fight voldemort's daughter to save younger Harry.
The theme of the novel was shown when Albus admitted that it all could have gone wrong if Scorpius was not there.
“And why was I so determined to do this? Cedric? Really? No. I had something to prove. My dad’s right --- he didn’t volunteer for adventure --- me, this, it’s all my fault --- and if it wasn’t for you everything could have gone Dark.”(Rowling 212)
Albus was telling Scorpius that if it weren’t for him everything would have gone

Whenever Scorpius did anything, it was almost always for someone else and not himself. “Your better. You're my best friend, Albus. And this is mayhem to the nth degree. Which is great, thumbs-up great, it’s just --- I have got to say --- I don’t mind admitting --- I am a tiny bit --- just a tiny bit scared.”(Rowling 105) This shows that Scorpius cares for Albus. He even helped Albus and his dad fight Delphi in Godric’s Hollow.
To Harry, Godric's hollow is an important setting. His parents were killed in Godric’s Hollow. “Young Harry stands looking at a gravestone covered in bunches of flowers.”(Rowling 205) His parents grave is in Godric’s hollow. He visits his parents grave and puts flowers on it every year.
I would recommend this to an older audience. It has some parts that are not appropriate for kids. “Snape is pulled hard to the ground and then pushed high into the air as his soul is ripped from him.”(Rowling 195) I would rate this book an 8 because it has a lot of action but there were some boring parts. “The Trolley Witch's hands transfigure into very sharp spikes.” Overall it was a great novel and was very

    J.R.R Tolkien once wrote, “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit” (Tolkien 1). Although this was written decades ago, this quote laid the foundation for a novel that inspired a vast amount of ideas and works of literature later remodeled and revised to develop new versions of tales previously told. From the dystopian novel The Hunger Games, to the mythological tale Percy Jackson, authors have derived their own work from literary works preceding their own. In Harry Potter, many of the characters and their roles are influenced by those seen in the Hobbit including: Gandalf as fatherly figure, Bilbo as an underdog, and Gollum as a mere obstacle for the protagonist who is internally destroyed by power.…

    This is Jack Merridew. It has been many years since we last saw each other, and so much has happened since then. I’m sure you’re a very different person now, as am I. I am not that same boy you knew, fifteen years can really change a person. Ten years ago, you sent me a letter blaming me for Simon and Piggy’s deaths, and everything else that happened on the island. I didn’t respond back then because I was in the Seminary and was trying to worship god and put all that happened on the island behind me. I’m writing you this letter now because I am about to become a priest and I feel that I need to clear things up as a last act before I start my new life. This way I can start out with a clean slate.…

    I am writing to you as the parent of two Caesar Rodney School District students and a Registered Nurse currently pursuing a BSN through the University of Phoenix. I understand we share an interest in promoting healthy eating habits and providing nutritious meals for the children attending school within the Caesar Rodney School District. I commend you for instituting a child nutrition program and the addition of the Caesar Rodney High School Wellness Center providing for student’s health needs. Therefore, I trust you will share my concern regarding childhood obesity. The United Nations Health Decade has partnered with the World Health Organization in acknowledging the epidemic of obesity as a global issue, affecting both adults and children. In an effort to improve global health, the UN Global Health Decade has established Millennium Development Goals to reduce death and disease worldwide. The threat to health caused by obesity is rapidly growing within the United States and other developed countries. Obesity is so widespread and commonplace; it has replaced the conventional threats to global health once held by malnutrition and infectious disease. More than one-third of children and adolescents are overweight or obese (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). The unhealthy lifestyles and lack of nutritional knowledge is being passed down from obese adults to their children. Therefore, childhood obesity has become more prevalent, jeopardizing the health of future adults. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, since 1980 the number of overweight children has doubled and the number of adolescent has tripled (World Health Organization, 2011). Community involvement from schools, government, and…

    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…

    My Best Friend

    The trip to Arizona was long. Just before leaving we stopped off at a family members home to say our goodbyes, and to get back a Harry Potter book that I had loaned them. That first day Harry and I went on our adventure in the Prisoner of Azkaban. How amazing it was! To be sneaking into Hogsmeade with Harry under the invisibility cloak, or learning to fight off dementors with the wave of a wand! I completed the book on day one of our trip. How proud I was to delve into an over 400-page book in a single day. The second day of our car journey, the sadness of leaving behind everything that was my childhood began to destroy my heart and suck away my soul as quickly as a Dementor’s Kiss could do that very same task. I needed something; I needed not just a friend, but also a best friend. At the moment I reopened my book, I joined Harry in his adventures and we shared our hurts, hopes and dreams together.…
