                                          The Beginning of a Very Important Necessity - Paper ! One day, Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, was taking a small stroll through her city, Athens, when she bumped into a lady. This lady wasn’t an average one like you’re annoying next door neighbor lady, she was dressed in all purple. Shirt? Purple. Pants? Purple. Shoes? Purple with a rough python texture. Cloak? Yes, purple. You get the jist. Athena and this purple obsessed lady began talking and became best friends at once. Her name turned out to be Marcia and she was the extra-ordinary wizard, protecting all wizards near her home, located in Lucky Springs. Both shared their wishes and beliefs and then Athena said something that caught Marica’s attention even more. Athena mentioned one of her greatest wishes was something that was light, flimsy, and could be writte...

 For school, I was required to write a poem reflecting me and my feelings. I am bright yet shattered. I wonder when I will finally be accepted into hogwarts…I'm 11 right? Has McGonagall merely forgotten or will I have to spend the rest of my life devastatingly hanging like a dead tree branch? I hear the low, haunting wispers of all my deceased family members, bringing me such terror, fright, and chill. I see mountains of books piled around my bedroom, each filled with unique and different personalities. I want to finally have someone who truly cares and accepts me for my true self. In the meantime, I’ll be patiently waiting and ticking off every day that comes and passes, my hopes turning into an infinite roller coaster, riding the same bump for the millionth time. I am bright yet shattered. I pretend to be alright when I’m really not, not ready to face the jeering and sniggering from all my so-called “friends” and everybody not in my little make believe world which will never expa...

  In J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”, Harry goes through his fifth year at Hogwarts, but with an evil defense against the dark arts teacher, managing his own defense class, spending time with his godfather, dealing with teen romance, and fighting the once again formed, angrier than ever, Dark Lord. The main characters in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” are Harry Potter, Sirius Black, Albus Dumbledore, and Tom Riddle (Lord Voledmort). Harry’s main setting (Hogwarts) is the only place where he feels safe and that he belongs. Harry learns many aspects of the wizarding world, while creating true relationships and friendships whom he will forever cherish. Even with all the flaws (Dolores Umbridge as a teacher, Snape as a teacher, Slytherin enemies, etc.), they are overtaken by every little strength that Hogwarts has brung Harry in his 5th year. Sirius’s main setting (Number 12 Grimmauld Place), has affected him both physically and mentally since hi...

For school, I was required to write a poem using noticeable objects around my room.  She was a big reader, says the overflowing Statue of Liberty sized bookcase; a huge Potterhead too, say the millions of Harry Potter items scurrying around like a hungry colony of ants; and she was very creative and artistic, say all her displayed art pieces, covering every inch of her bright pink walls; she also still had a 5 year old inside of her, say all the blindingly bright stuffed animals, their gaze following your every move. She was a very lazy slug, says the extremely messy and unmade bed (with a slight resemblance of a drift of pig’s pen); incredibly unorganized too, say the million paper mountains, threatening to collapse with one small gust of wind; and she was very spoiled, says her Eiffel Tower tall heap of clothes; she was also a procrastinator, say the trillions of horrifying, unfinished, and untouched crafts and drawings, each with different personalities and backstories. She was ...
