JOANNE ROWLING
By Alexandra Kaltashkina, 8B
J.K. Rowling is a famous British writer. She is also a screenwriter and producer. She is celebrated as the author of books about Harry Potter and fantastic beasts. She wrote many different books which are not popular as Harry Potter, but no less interesting.
Joanne divorced her husband and lived in poverty until she released her first book about a boy who survived. They became a worldwide bestseller and led the writer to success. An interesting fact is that she wrote her first story at the age of six - it was the story of a rabbit named Rabbit who fell ill with measles. There are many theories about who this interesting woman is and how she managed to write seven books about Harry Potter. Many people find it impossible to imagine a whole world in their heads. So the theory arose that in fact Joanne was Rita Skitter, who was kicked out of the wizarding world, and she, in revenge, spread stories about Hogwarts and wizards for Muggles.
Few people know, but Joanne is involved in charity work and helps children from Africa and other countries in many ways. Rowling financially supported the research and treatment of multiple sclerosis. In 2006, she donated a significant amount to the establishment of the new Center for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Edinburgh.
I think many admire her not only as a writer, but also as a person, because she is a kind person who cares about people. As for me, I think she really can be my role model. I admire her imagination and ideas. I also know that Joanne is a strong person though she has gone through a lot. She didn’t give up in difficult times and it deserves respect. As for her books, I also like them very much and I often use phrases from them in my life.
In general, I think that J.K. Rowling really deserves to be world famous. Why? Because she achieved everything by herself and was not spoiled by her popularity.
