Rewriting lines from songs, poems, stories and other articles is one way of
paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is often defined as putting into your own words the
author’s words from a passage. It will make us own our ideas
as inspired by other people’s work and will keep us from
plagiarizing others’ works. Here are examples of paraphrasing taken from Harry Potter, Chronicles of
Narnia and the Lord of the Ring.

Original Paraphrased Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Alkaban - Quote by Albus Dumbledore There is happiness even during the most
challenging times and we only need to look at the bright side. “To the glistening eastern sea, I give you Queen Lucy the
Valiant. To the great western woods, King Edmund the Just. To the radiant southern sun, Queen Susan the Gentle. And
to the clear northern skies, I give you King Peter the Magnificent. Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen
of Narnia. May your wisdom grace us until the stars rain down from the heavens.” Chronicles of Narnia Quote by Aslan
Presenting the kings and queens of Narnia: Queen Lucy the Valiant, King Edmund the Just, Queen Susan the Gentle, and
King Peter the Magnificent. They will forever be Kings and Queens of Narnia and may their wisdom will be with us until
the end of the world. (Still to be improved by the author/s based from the comment of the content reviewer) In the
common tongue it reads "One Ring to Rule Them All. One Ring to Find Them. One Ring to Bring Them All and In The
Darkness Bind Them." Lord of the Rings –Quote by Gandalf There is one ring to rule, to
find, to bring and to bind all evil.
