Why The School for Good and Evil is like Harry Potter

Image
Harry Potter is awesome. The School for Good and Evil is awesome. Now Let's compare. 
About a school where you learn to use magic, regardless of what house you are in. Everyone, for the most part has the same subjects. You have a slow moving plot for almost the whole book, but it is very interesting. You have an annoying antagonist, Draco Malfoy. Draco Malfoy is basically the most stuck up person you are ever going to meet. He is also the equivalent of someone so racist they want none of a certain race in their school. AND HE WORKS FOR SOME OF THE MOST EVIL PEOPLE EVER. The dialogue is hilarious. and deep. And the writing is funny and thought-provoking. Great character development, even in the villain. You have a great main female character, Hermione, who shows you that you can be smart, have great friends, help save the wizarding world, and kick all the butts at the same time. There is a great 3rd person narrative that gives you some inside info that makes you wonder EVEN MORE. Y…

My First Experience with Mock Trial

Image
I had never done mock trial before this year. Mock trial has been one of the best experiences of my life and has helped me to discover a field that I might want to pursue a career in: law. I have learned so much about how the field of law works, what a lawyer does, and how a court case works. I would 10/10 recommend doing mock trial, even if you aren't considering the field of law.

I have gotten to know so many people who are older than me, whom I wouldn't have met if not working with them on mock trial. These people are cool individuals that have really contributed something to my life and definitely have taught me a thing or two about law. I have had some pretty fun times with my team so far and will be sad when the mock trial season comes to a close this year.

That being said, I have a few tips for anyone else just starting out with mock trial. I am the type of person that stresses over things a lot and overprepares, but also the type of person that when I struggle with so…
