The Magic in my Life:
A Paragraph About Things that have seemed “Like Magic”
In my life, there have been many magical things. One of which was my uncanny [FAST] ability to read minds as a child. I couldn’t do it whenever I wanted; it just happened randomly. For example, one time I was driving in the car with my mom, and she was thinking about her mother and how sad it was to lose her. I said something along the lines of, “It’s okay; she loved you.” Upon hearing this, she was amazed because she had not told me about her thoughts was quite surprised at this outburst. Although I have since lost this ability completely, it is an example of literal magic in my life. I have also enjoyed the “Harry Potter” series by J.K. Rowling. This is a more figurative look at the magical side of my life. Whenever a new edition of her series was released, our family would buy one copy, and my brother would always get to read it first. I would be stuck waiting for a couple of days while everyone around me enjoyed the magic. Although, when I was finally able to read it, the wait was worth it. I was entranced by the words the seemed to put me under a spell to make me keep reading, and I loved reading about a magical world where almost anything was possible. Magic has been around to help me tune into other people’s hardships or triumphs, to help me escape into a far away land, and to help me live a life with dreams [Anaphora].
