Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Themes: A theme in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the importance of humility. After years of negligence from the Durslys, Harry thoroughly learns this lesson. When he discovers his fame he does not show off, he just hopes to achieve the tough expectations wagered on him. Neither does he celebrate when he catches the Snitch in the first few minutes of a Quidditch game. His humbleness and humility is what lets him obtain the stone in the end of the novel because he wants to find it for common good unlike Quirrel who wants it for personal benefit. Another theme is the occasional need of rebellion. Hogwarts has very strict rules that are taken seriously. Even though these rules are fair, Harry must sometimes disobey these rules for common good. For example, even though the flying instructor clearly disallowed flying Harry did not hesitate to chase after Malfoy to help Neville. Harry occasional uprisings demonstrate an ability to make his own decisions. Thus claiming that rules are in place for positive reasons but must be occasionally broken for the common good. A third and final example of a theme from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the danger of want. Overwhelming desire is shown in the beginning of the book by Dudely, Harry’s cousin, when complaining that he did not get enough birthday presents and later shifts to the much more vile intensions of Voldemort. This does not mean that desire is bad, thus explained by Dumbledore to Harry stating that want to see his parents is noble. However, overdone desire has negative consequences that make them lose perspective of life and may lead to evil intensions. Dumbledore shows Harry a good example of normal need when he says that all he wants is a warm pair of socks. Conflicts: Two conflicts are present in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The major conflict is an inter conflict inside Harry. Harry was never introduced to the magical world until he was eleven. All he knew of life was constant abuse and torment from his stepmother stepfather and cousin while living in a cupboard under the stairs. When introduced to the magical world he is faced with many mew overwhelming experiences and demands. Harry finally finds some friends. However he also finds enemies such as Malfoy. Also teachers such as Snape do not like him and treat him poorly. All of this change happens in less than a month. No normal individual can adapt to life so fast and Harry is faced with an inter conflict characterised by confusion. A major conflict that is only introduced in the later part of the book is the battle of Harry vs. Voldemort. Although foreshadowed at the beginning of the book, Harry first gets a glimpse of Voldemort in the forbidden forest and only meets him in the second last chapter. This is a major conflict in the rest of the books but only has a small appearance in this one. |

I doubt someone with an IQ of 127 would use horribly fractured phrases like "No plagerise"... did I mention you also spelled "plagiarize" and "writing" incorrectly? And you should know, at that level, that you should not abuse punctuation like that. |

First of all, 127 is the average IQ. Everyone here has that many points, if not above. Second of all, in this forum, using one smiley per line is a tell-tale sign of douchebaggery. And third of all, this is so absolutely plagiarized and in the wrong forum that the least you can do is sign this off as a practical joke gone wrong and try to save your reputation.

Not only that, but the smilies didn't even really fit with what he said. |

That, too.
On a re-read, it seems like he's doing an interpretation similar to the tedious stuff we have to do for a presentation now, and he seems to want to as us for help / to determine whether or not his assumptions are correct.
If he'd simply written that and cleared up the misunderstanding, his chance of becoming an accepted, integrated and well-respected member would have been larger. |

No, I did. | Darn, I really wanted that, too. Well, third time's a charm. XD
It reminds me of yoshiface... Just a wee bit.
Okay, well, anyway, taras... what grade are you in? Just wondering. And also, if you were trying to make the report entertaining... it's not. And thirdly... I dunno. I would revise it, but I'd have to rewrite the entire thing. D: |

Err...you could just say that "I didn't plagerize this" instead of what you said. And you could do it yourself. That's what I do. |
