Verdimillious Charm Analysis

The wind wailed relentlessly against the windows of the old house. The youngest child gazed unblinkingly through the window into the restless sea. From the mist, a shadow figure began to form and a sharp gasp escaped from the child’s lips. The ghost rose majestically from the mist and danced wildly in the air. Its dark golden eyes pierced straight into the eyes of the petrified child. A high pitched scream slipped from the lips of the child and suddenly the sun peeked from behind the clouds. The entire world seemed to calm in one soothing motion and a small smile crept unto the lips of the child. The shadowy figure had been replaced by a large white flag. The unknown can seem frightening and ominous at times. In The Last Sin Eater by

The two spells learned in class this week were the Softening Charm and the Verdimilius Charm. The Verdimillius Charm can be used in one of two situations. The first situation is that you are involved in a duel or any other kind of battle and you need some precious time to either pull out and try to escape or cast another, larger, more powerful and effective spell. In this case, you would bring your wand down in a downward sort of slashing movement, ending with your wand pointed directly at your opponent's body, and recite the incantation, which is Verdimillius. The second scenario would be if you are looking for a magical item in a room, hallway, or any other place that is not lit in a proper fashion, you would wave your wand above your head

Consuelo Vanderbilt’s memoir, The Glitter and the Gold, provides an insightful recollection of life both in and around the English country house of the late nineteenth century. While there is a multiplicity of themes in the short passage on pages 88 and 89, this essay will specifically focus on the themes of international influence – including the presence of the American “dollar princess” – as well as the long-lasting effects of tradition, in regards to the importance of social hierarchy and ancestry. One other theme that also seems to resonate throughout is the prestige of the British Empire. What these themes reveal is the way the country house was saturated by the influences of both the modern and the traditional, especially since the country house lifestyle that Vanderbilt experienced was during a time of rapid change at the turn of the twentieth-century.

They can be worked for protection, divination; banishing, purification, evoking and sprinkling a small pinch of corresponding herbs into the candle flame can give more power to your spell.

Kelly J. Mayes defines plot in The Norton Introduction to Literature as the way the author sequences and paces the events so as to shape our response and interpretation. Every piece of literature contains a plot pattern that follows Freytag’s pyramid. This pyramid consists of an exposition, rising action, a climax, falling action, and a conclusion. Though each story displays this pattern of organization, authors use many different literary devices to differentiate their work and to acquire the response they want to achieve from their audience. The author of “The Jewelry,” Guy De Maupassant, correctly followed Freytag’s Pyramid and used varied literary devices to create a suspenseful read for the audience.

Published in 2006, prior to Israel’s intervention in Hezbolla controlled Lebanon, An Enchanted Modern: Gender and Public Piety offers academics and scholars a window to observe the ever-changing interpretations and practices of one of the largest world religions. Lara Deeb, a cultural anthropologist, seeks to bring to light the ideology and beliefs of a group Shi’i women living in a Beirut community. She reports that their modern approach to Islam allows them to express their individuality and piousness at the same time, without diluting or abandoning the faith which is often looked at as extreme and backwards by the Western World.

Towards the end of Moonlight Chiron does not change and is still the same shy, and insecure boy internally. Chiron changes his physical appearance but stays the same mentally. He changed externally to try and fit in the community he lived in and try to follow Juans footsteps and not be seen the way he was before.But deep in him he knows what he's doing isn't what he actually wants to do and isn't what he wants to be seen as.That's due to the fact that he's gay. He's always going to live unhappy and insecure knowing that the people around him don't respect gay people and their decisions. Chiron grew up in a neighborhood where he'd always be bullied for being gay and acting differently than the rest of the boys his age. He was always left out

"This lesson will focus on - well - focus. Many charms we have learned so far, such as the Levitation Charm and the Locomotion Charm require focus to be on the object you're targeting." She begins writing notes whilst he explains focus is something you cannot avoid unlike an incantation or wand movement. The lesson drones on for a while until, "One of the most important things to know about focus is that you must have a relatively clear mind whilst performing your spell." She stored that in her mind for the

“Enchantress from the Stars” by Sylvia Engdahl is filled with many examples of risk and sacrifice. There are quite a few major tipping points in the story that involve the characters taking risks and making sacrifices. I would like to cover three of these events plus one of my own.

The two charms learned in class this week were Verdimillious Charm and Spongify. The first spell, Verdimillious is pronounced vur-duh-MILL-ee-us. This spell can be used in both a defensive and mundane situation. When used defensively, the charm will burst around your attacker and cause a stinging sensation. This is nothing severe but will most definitely help in mentally disarming your attacker. During mundane situations, the charm if performed above the head can be used in a similar but more short term manner then the Lumos charm. It will release a light, giving the witch or wizard the ability to see better. Some may say that even the performance of the charm in which a way that was meant to be mundane can help in terms of being defensive.

The incantation for the Levitation Charm is Wingardium Leviosa (pronounced: wing-GAR-dee-um lehvee-O-sa). The wand movement is called "Swish and Flick". You raise your wand to the left, then move it towards the right, then get the point of your wand back to your body and finally forward it in the direction of your target. You must do the "Swish" while you are saying "Wingardium", and end the "Swish" just when you start to say "Leviosa" and finish the "Flick" when you finish to say "Leviosa". For this spell, high focus is very important. While you are casting the spell, you must focus on your target, the thing you want to levitate. While levitating the object, you must keep your focus on your target, otherwise you can levitate something else. You must also visualize energy going through your wand.

We learned two incantations yesterday; the Wand-Lighting Charm and the Wand-Extinguishing Charm, and I have been practising them both in my spare time. The Wand-Lighting Charm, Lumos,
