Lifestyle course: Essay for next week

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Students on my lifestyle course -- I've fixed the topic for next week.

Some of my students have asked about something called "Muggles". As I understand the term, it's simply a way of saying "people that aren't like me".

So that's the subject of this week's essay, and next week's seminar. Write a hundred words all about the people who aren't like you. What motivates them, what abilities they have, what you can gain by understanding them.

Please have the work in my in-tray here by Saturday evening.
Next week's seminar will be on Monday once again. I'll be in my room all day, so whenever you can come by will be fine.

I'll see if I can make any vacancies for new students over the next day or two.

Muggles are people who don’t have any special powers whatsoever. They are just…there. Waste of space if you ask me. It seems their only motivation for living is to get in my way. They’re so afraid of magic that they can’t even see or feel it unless it’s right in front of them. I guess learning about them could be of use. They have seemed to have found a way to live with magic so if we observe them we can know what to do just in case we are left magic-less for some reason. And then we can learn their weaknesses and destroy them altogether.
