Magic :: essays research papers

Doing this research paper didnt really help me find anything extraordinary about the interchange phantasy. I pretty much knew what the word magic meant, from the comic books I read and the television I watch. It did however, make me view the word in more depth. Dont get me wrong, Im not implying in any way that the word magic, is dull, because it is just the opposite. Im simply stating that because of my fascination with the subject of magic, I am already familiar with its background and capabilities. I chose the word magic because the concept of any human being possessing unexplainable, supernatural powers intrigues me to the point where I wish I had been endowed with those powers. If I had to choose a favorite I would have to go with the two poems I obtained from the musical harmony to Shakespeare and the Grangers Index to Poetry. It all started when we received our word list. I looked for a word that I interested me, and that I thought would be easy to find information on. I g uess, for the most part I was right. All the references available in our school library were pretty easy to find such as the Rogets Thesaurus, the Unabridged Dictionary, and surprisingly the Book of Quotations and the Concordance to the Bible. On one twenty-four hours there, at the St. Paul library four were down and there were four to go, which wasnt too shabby for the first day. I figured I was doing well getting half of my list taken care of before Christmas vacation, and then during vacation I would finish the job.Well as any normal teenager would agree the plan of doing work during vacation vanished as soon the final bell rang to start vacation. On the first day back to school I took a trip to a local library near my house. I already knew that I wouldnt find everything that I needed, but I checked it out any ways. I was only able to find the Oxford slope Dictionary, but luckily I bumped into my wonderful English teacher Ms. Frausto who informed me that the Uptown Whittier Lib rary would have the sufficient amount of information I needed to complete my research. In deed, my very wise mentor was right. I did find the rest of the items I was in search of, which were a periodical, a poem, and an excerpt from a Shakespeare play.
