Q : Describe a character from literature that you would trade places with and explain why.

If one day, I have the chance to be one of the literature characters, I would like to be Harry Potter. It seems so wonderful to have the magic power and lives in the magic world. Furthermore, the following are some reasons that I want to be Harry Potter. First, I admire Harry Potter s courage. He always faces the death fearlessly. Second, his wisdom helps him to avoid the danger again and again successfully. Third, by the support of the love power from family and friends, Harry can overcome all the difficulties that he has met. He has the best family and friends in the world. Courage is the central power that can push people to face the difficulties bravely. When people face the impossible event, people usually give up easily and fear the failure. At this moment, we need the power of courage to push us to face the failure bravely. In the books of Harry Potter, Potter usually faces the difficulties and the danger bravely. Although he knows the possibility that he can defeat Lord Voldemort is almost zero, he never shrinks from it. He still stands out bravely and event doesnt fear to sacrifice his life. Such as, in the seventh episode Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, he knows the fact that Voldermort inadvertently left his one part of the soul in Harry body when he attempt to attack him as a baby and Harry must die to destroyed Voldemort. Voldemort cant be killed correctly if Harry still alive on the world. In order to defeat Voldermort correctly, Harry chooses to surrender himself to death. Death is the end of human being s life, however, Harry still chooses to sacrifice himself bravely. The courage is the key power that can push us, yet its useless to only have the courage without the wisdom. Foolhardiness will cause us to the failure. Although the courage is very important, we cant just act by the power of the bravery. In the fourth episode Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry was framed up and was forced to participate in the competition, Triwizard Tournament. In order to win the competition, it s not only need the powerful magic, but also need to rely on the wisdom. At last, Harry wins the competition and escapes from the attack from Voldemort again by the wisdom. The power of love, such as the love between family and friends, is the most powerful strength in the world. No matter how brave, smart we are, if we dont have the power of love, the courage and the wisdom are still useless in our life. Supported by these powers, Harry can avoid the dangers again and again successfully and overcomes all the difficulties. No matter how brave and smart Harry is, without the love power, he is just a normal boy. Furthermore, the power

of love is also the key reason that Harry can defeat Voldemort successfully. Such as, when Harry was a baby, he can still live under Voldemort spell because of his parent s love. In order to protect her own son, Harrys mother sacrificed herself and used the strongest love to protect him. The power of love that Voldemort lacks is the key that causes his failure and why he cant kill Harry Potter. Although Harry has lost his parent when he was a baby, hes still under his mother s protection until hes seventeen years old. Maternal love cant be replaced by anything. In addition, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger who are Harry s best friends in Hogwarts, are also the greatest support for him. With their company and help, Harry goes through all the difficulties again and again. For example, in the first episode Harry Potter and Philosopher s Stone, by the help of Ron and Hermione, Harry is able to conquer all the obstacles and prevents Voldemort to get the philosopher s stone. Their help is one of the greatest strength in Harry s life. Especially, in the last episode Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, without their help, Harry is totally impossible to defeat Vordemort. Their company supports Harry to face the fate that he must defeat Vordemort. Not only be supported by Ron and Hermione, but also others in Hogwarts, such as professor Dumbledor, Rons twin brothers, Fred and George Weasley, Rubeus Hagrid, and his godfather, Sirius Black and much more. The love power from family and friends gives Harry the power to overcome all the obstacles and the difficulties. With the courage, we can face all the obstacles. The courage pushes us to face the difficulties bravely and wont fear the failure. The failure isnt the shame, the most important of all, we need the courage to stand up and face the failure again. Courage is very important in our life, however, only acting by the courage is useless and wont solve any problem. When we meet the difficulties we need to act with courage and wisdom. Wisdom will help us to overcome the obstacles much easier. The love power is the strongest power that supports us to solve the obstacles. The family and friends company with us to go through all the difficulties and helps us when we meet the obstacles. With them, we wont fear anything that can defeat or harm us.
