Attn HP fen (do you still exist?)
Mar. 31st, 2008 06:52 pmMy English class this semester is focused on outlaws and heroes and the interactions and fuzzy lines between them. We've so far done units on Robin Hood and James Bond, to give you an idea. My topic for my final paper is Harry Potter as a social outsider, and how the same behaviors that make him an outsider (breaking the rules, being disliked by the authorities and/or his peers, being a wanted criminal by book 7, etc.)are not only permissible but necessary for him to accomplish his ultimate goal of saving the world. My teacher said it was totally acceptable for me to cite LJ meta posts, or even fanfiction that demonstrated that point or fans' reactions to it. Anyone have any thoughts on where I should start? Self-pimping a-ok!
