Writers Note: When I was younger I was a big Harry Potter fan and as any people who have seen or read the series know, Hogwarts sends an acceptance letter within their eleventh year. I'm obviously just joking around with this memoir but it shows a side of me that a lot of people don't see. I'm not serious all the time. I do joke around. I can take things lightly too, despite what people may think. Not a lot of people get to see this funny, nerdy side of me because I don't always feel comfortable showing it...Another reason I chose made this "Six Word Memoir" is because it represents a loss of reality and something exciting. It doesn't matter what age I am, there will always a piece of me that believes in magic. Even going through the automatic sliding doors at Superstore, I pretend I have the ability to magically snap them open...which I know, probably sounds crazy. I took this photo of birthday candles to add to the fact that it was on my eleventh birthday that I received this disappointing news. I really love the contrast between the colours of the candles and the black table. However, after this photo was taken and edited my OCD kicked in and I realized that there are only nine candles there, not eleven...counting has always been difficult for me. The hard truth is, I will never stroll around the Ravenclaw corridor.
At age eleven, Hogwarts failed me.
It's okay! There's still hope for a letter... Just kidding, I feel the same way. It honestly makes me sad knowing I will never experience a Potions class or fly a broomstick. There's still Pottermore, but it just doesn't really bring the magic to life. The closest thing I've experienced to it was finally going to The Wonderful Wizarding World Of Harry Potter, and even that just didn't have *it*.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll get a chance to visit it! Their Butterbeer is amazing. :P
I really like this 6 word memoir. :)
I think you did a great job with this memoir. I know almost all of us who loved the series felt the very way. And like you mentioned the contrast of the objects in the photo are great. You have done a really great job with these memoirs!
ReplyDeleteI love the humorous approach you took with this one! I've found that most of the memoirs I've encountered have been rather serious and/or emotional, so it's nice to see something that makes me smile. As a fellow art student, I do enjoy your analyzation of the image you chose. That being said, I wish you had found some cheesy meaning for it or studied it on a metaphorical level.
