Abstract—The “hero” from Harry Potter: The Philosopher’s Stone, is a young book taken from his dull and tedious life and swept off to the fantastical boarding school of Hogwarts. In the Black Cauldron Taran the pig keeper shares a similar situation, he is taken from his life of drudgery and whisked off on an epic journey. Each of these characters goes through similar developments on their quests, and each draws from seemingly mundane beginnings. This type of heroism seems coherent across the two
Women's Fight Against Social Convention in Sylvia Plath's Poem, Ariel "Ariel" is the title poem from Sylvia Plath's controversial collection of poetry written during the last few months of her life in 1963.

especially this scene. From line 4 to 45 the witches’ spell is chanted in rhyming couplets. ‘ Round about the cauldron go; in the poisoned entrails throw.’ By having all the ingredients of the spell said in rhyming couplets, it makes the effect of the spell more dramatic.
