Compare And Contrast Sharon And Payton
Once there were two girls at their houses who both have just gotten their admittance letters to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sharon and Payton are both best friends but are different. Sharon is very loyal and Payton is very brave. They don’t know what is really happening and were very confused when owls flew through their window and dropped the letters in their hands. They had been in the middle of calling each other when a large tawny owl came to Payton's and a barn owl came to Sharon’s. The two girls had immediately read through the letters, and replied by sending the owls off with letters saying, “YES! Thank you so much for considering me and I will definitely be there on September first.” After they had replied they told each other what had happened because as they were both muggle born witches this was all so new for them. Then they sped downstairs to …show more content…
Poliakoff, Victore, and Payton were successful but the others couldn’t because they either were scared out their wits by Cerberus, couldn’t get Charon the ferryman to take them across the river Styx, or turned around before they were back in the mortal world which made the person who was dead’s soul float back to the underworld. The second task was to climb up a five hundred foot tall wall while monsters are attacking you and parts of the wall are falling apart. The three boys got around three hundred feet while the girls all got from about two hundred to two hundred fifty. In the third task, the contestants entered the labyrinth and had two fight three monsters and find three endangered magical animals and bring them back to the surface. From that task, the only two people who were able to finish the task were Payton and Victore who ended up winning the 1000 galleons prize money and eternal bragging

    The contest is over. James Haliday’s fortune has finally been won. The backstory to the contest is as follows. When James Haliday (creator of the OASIS) passed away six years ago, in his will was a video. That video explained that before he died, Haliday inserted “easter eggs” into his most popular game. He programmed in three different keys to three different gates. The first player to open the last gate wins Haliday’s fortune of over 240 billion US dollars. Haliday gave gunters, people who tried to win the contest, a hint in the form of a riddle. This riddle led them to one of the keys which then had another riddle, this was how pleople were supposed to find all the keys and gates. The Sixers are the yin and the gunters are the yang.

The owls itself is portrayed as very high and powerful, it doesn’t flutter into the barn…it swoops in and stays “on a high beam” where it can view and be master of all.

The child is also portrayed as a powerful figure “master of life and death” a “wisp haired judge” but one does get the idea that her power is foolish and evil.…

    Samson and Casey were two foolish men who made bad decisions. God gave Samson strength beyond human ability as long as he followed Gods rules, but Samson could not put aside his arrogance and lust in order to keep his gift. So God took his gift away and in the end Samson paid with his life. Casey was talented at baseball but his pride led him to miss a great opportunity which made people revaluate how great he actually was. They were both over confident which lead to their downfall. Solomon warned men about this very sin because he knew what damage it could do. “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) The most disappointing component of both their actions was the fact that they had others depending on them. If their pride had not gotten in the way then they could have accomplished something great. They let people down and by their actions, displayed cowardice.…

    A Barred Owl portrays a child, afraid of the dark, wind, and noises of the night, and her parent’s comforting her with a little while lie. The girl’s parents convince her that there is nothing to be afraid of, and ease her back to sleep with that small comfort. In lines 10-12, when the narrator illustrates with powerful allusions, the amount of reality that is being hidden from the child, the readers are given an example of how sometimes, knowing the truth can do more damage than good. “The warping night air having brought the boom of an owl’s voice into her darkened room,” (1-2) is an example of the pathetic fallacy Wilbur applies to creatively draw the reader in and convey to the reader what the child fears. The description of the sound of the wind, as if the wind is speaking, lends an eerie tone to the poem at the beginning, which is then suppressed by the parents convincing lie that there is nothing to fear. Although lying can backfire, it can sometimes protect someone from the darker…
