I HATE PROFESSOR UMBRIDGE!!!
Aug. 10th, 2004 12:56 amLet me tell you all a little story.
I was going to go to bed all early, cause I have to get up and go to Boston tomorrow, and I decided to read a bit of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." Well, anyone who knows me knows that I get very into books and TV shows and movies. I become emotionally invested in and attached to the characters. If this fails to happen then it is not a good story. Hannah even told me that I go straight from seeing something sad to being sad, seeing something happy and getting happy, etc. Also, I am even more into Harry Potter than most things. So I get to the part in the book where professor Umbridge gives Harry detention, and I nearly lost it. I was full of indignation and terror, and I cringed as I read about his poor hand. I was all upset, and had to read until detention was over. Then I decided that I had to go to bed, because it was getting late. But as I sometimes do I skimmed a bit ahead in the book. This was a mistake. I saw many gross injustices being inflicted by Umbridge on Harry and others, and I am now so upset that I cannot sleep. I have come down here to read some happy fluffy Remus/Sirius slash so that my mind will be soothed and I can get some rest. Please leave me sympathetic comments if you have read this book and feel my pain.
I want to be a lawyer so I can use these feelings of indignation and injustice to help people and right wrongs. Feeling like this about fictional people makes me know that I care enough about real people for this to be my calling in life.
I am so empathetic that I am shaking, upset, and sleepless. I'm not kidding. My hands are shaking with anger at the wrongness of it all. If you would like to join the I Hate Professor Umbridge Club, I will be forming it shortly.
Empathy: showing ready comprehension of others' states. Feeling what others are feeling, in terms of emotions.
