Harry Potter: A prism
Why it is so great, complete and complicated
Harry Potter is not a novel but a prism. The reader will see the wavelengths of their deepest joys, sorrows and fears in its spectrum.
On the surface, it is a tale of a haunted boy, but deep down, it's a story about what binds us – humans – together.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

Senior Year
We have reached my Senior year in high school. The year it seems that everyone cannot wait for and when it is over they begin to wonder. This was the year we studied American Government and Economics, and I had courses in Money Management, Office Practice, Typing, Recordkeeping/Office Machines, Business English Communications. and even a Piano class. We were all planning for our Senior prom and getting everyone to sign our Senior albums.
