Transportation was crucial for Harry Potter and his friends throughout his adventures. A variety of different techniques were employed, each with their own pros and cons. Hogwarts
Express, the Ford Anglia, the Portkey, a broomstick, Floo powder, and Apparition were all crucial forms of transportation, however, they did carry negative impacts.
To begin with, Platform nine and three-quarters served an important ground transportation role as the entryway to the Hogwarts express: the first step into the wizarding world. Harry Potter steps on the train for the first time anxiously trying to find a seat in a packed train. Here he meets Ronald Weasley, another first year student who will soon become his best friend and accompany him throughout a magical journey. They enjoy each other’s company as they devour copious amounts of sweets courtesy of Harry and converse about Quidditch and wizard cards. Harry also meets a somewhat irritating, overachieving girl named Hermione
Granger. Thus, through platform nine and three quarters Harry is not only able to cross into the wizarding world, but gains lifetime friendships. Although Harry’s train ride is a marvel, another mode of ground transport was quite frightening for Harry. In The Chamber of Secrets, Harry and
Ron are late to platform nine and three-quarters and the secret passage closes. Therefore, to reach the school on time they decide to use Mr.Weasley’s Ford Anglia. The ride to Hogwarts begins comfortably; the boys fly through the clouds, while keeping sight of the red Hogwarts train below them. A few hours later, the moon ascends and they are very tired and wondering how

Bill Weasley’s cottage, however Dobby arrives wounded, Bellatrix threw a silver knife into his chest before he fully disappeared. Harry gets very emotional and tells him not to die; unfortunately the house-elf dies in Harry’s arms. Thus apparition is a mode of transportation that it can be deadly if used for evil purposes, however, can be useful in escaping dangerous situations. Therefore, ground transportation, Portkeys, broomsticks, the Floo network, and apparating are all-important forms of transportation for Harry Potter and company. Although they exhibit many beneficial qualities, they each can be used for evil.
“I envied the people in the train because they seemed to be going somewhere” (Lesley,7).
He discusses demise in the primary sentence, saying, “The marvelous thing is that it’s painless” (Hemingway 826). As the story creates, Harry as often as possible specifies his desire to pass on or the way he feels that passing is close now. “You can shoot me.” (Hemingway 826) and “I don’t want to move” (Hemingway 827), and “There is no sense in moving now except to make it easier for you” (Hemingway 827) and “Can’t you let a man die as comfortably as he can without calling him names? “ (Hemingway 827). It sounds as though Harry is surrendering, not so much, since he is a weakling, despite the fact that his wife calls him that, yet more since he feels that, it is more agreeable for him right now to set down and pass on as opposed to sitting tight for a truck or plane that will most likely never arrive. During the rest of the story, Harry has several moments when he feels the proximity of
In the movie Escape from New York, there are many examples of the topic Transportation. Transportation is when you move the people that are the problem away from society so they don't create any more problems for the people around them. In Escape from NY the took the crazies and trapped them on the island and barricaded them inside of walls so he couldn't get out. The people in the movie feared that if theses crazy people were in the society that they would be a major problem so what the did was put them on the island. When Snake goes over to the island of NY city he sees many things while he is trying to save the president. Snake witnesses first hand how crazy these people acted and they were not like the normal people who were on the other
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to read the book “Train Go Sorry”. There were several aspects about this book that I really enjoyed. These aspects were: how informative the book was about the history of the deaf and how society used to view them, how the author uses this book to help the reader see into the lives of those that are deaf, and how the author teaches the reader about some of the deaf culture.
The novels of Harry Potter, written by J. K. Rowling are constantly in debate among Christians whether Harry Potter is preaching sorcery and paganism or that the books have a spiritual meaning deeper than most care to look at. It is easy to look through the books and find sources of witchcraft but one could say the same for sources of the gospel. Author, J.K. Rowland has stated that her own Christian faith has in fact informed her writing of the popular series. Many Christians say Harry Potter is incomparable to Christ, being far from perfection while Voldemort seems to strike a different chord of response as far as his character representing The Devil himself.

They get back home and Harry gets a letter from the Ministry of Magic that says because he used magic he is expelled (Harry is underage and underage wizards aren't supposed to use magic). He is horrified. He can't believe he was expelled. Hogwarts was the only good thing in his life. He then gets another letter that says he isn't expelled but that he has to go to a hearing.

Now where there is comparing, there is always contrasting so my contrasting is that when Harry’s friend’s die he stays with them (if he can).

The Snow of Kilimanjaro depicts the grieving process of death in all of the different stages. By encountering all the different stages of grief, Harry finds acceptance with dying and this allows him to achieve spiritual salvation. Although Harry’s spiritual salvation does not appear to be a religious salvation with God, He comes to peace by the end of his reflection of his life and achieves acceptance of death by the end of the story. This allows Harry to enjoy his last moments alive doing what he loves before he passes.
...g Harry and Voldomort circling around each other in the middle. Harry explained to Voldomort that if he fought with Harry he would lose. But Voldomort didn’t listen to what Harry said, and the moment he cast his spell it rebounded on him and he was killed. After the dead had been buried and the injured treated, all was well and the entire wizarding world was at peace.
