UP AND  AWARE - 6




                 Discuss:

                       Was it easy or difficult to think of how this person would be?
                       If you looked like this person, would you be like this person too?







                      EXCERPTS


                       J K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, says that she first thought of her
                       character Harry Potter as…‘scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who didn’t know
                       he was a wizard…’. Her next step was to make Harry Potter human—an orphan
                       boy who does not know he is a wizard; who faces problems with examinations,
                       friendships and the evil in the world, and one who has to gather strength and courage

                       to survive.
                       A human being becomes a person when he/she is more than what he/she
                       looks like.





                    Exercise:
                How would you describe yourself? Here are some words to help you get started. Think of
                some more. No one person has only positive or only negative qualities or weaknesses and

                strengths. To know yourself better is to know your positive AND negative qualities.
