"The Soldier" If I should die, think only this of me: That there’s some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam; A body of England’s, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Feminist reading of Hermione's character in Harry potter  "Me? Books and cleverness. There are more important things: friendship and bravery. And Harry, just be careful, " Hermione (Rowling, 1999, p. 16)  This quote from Harry Potter series, is best which depicts Hermoine's outstanding  nature, but it seems as she is believing herself as inferior or rather she hasn't value of her knowledge. J.K.Rowling presented the Hermoine as the cleverest witch in Hogwart, here the word witch seems problemtic from feminist perspective as it has negative conotation. Hermoine's characerization is refleted through the language used by Rowlling to describe her. Though she is cleverest one, she cowers fear when she sees a troll and she required help from his male friends as well as her cleverness is mainly contributed in helping Harry when the matter comes on her, she always needs others help. Along with this in Quidditc game we can see that there is on...
