Debate Contest : Round 1! - Page 3

haha people please take ur time in replying

i will read yet another book😆
...seriously where is every1 who eagerly signed up for the debate??!!

👎🏼

the question to be discussed here is about dan brown as a author of fictions. if his work came into controversies it is because religious groups decided that they could not accept his work, which has used religion and its stories as a background. that does not mean he has plagarised or copied even from anybody. the controversy that dan brouwn's book created, had everybody from the church to the common man, of all ages wanting to read it. it aroused a curiousity in people....

jk rowling, fantastic writer that she is...has chosen to write books for children. though i agree adults also have read her books, magic, sorcery and all the other gimmicks she uses in her books are basically for children...and the need for them to know that good will win over evil...no matter how strong it seems at first. there is no scope what soever to interpret what you read into any other meaning...

I am really sorry for not being around, totally forgot 😳 I agree with above^ Very interesting points have been made. You know, I wanted to be in the JK Rowling team in the beginning, but now, I am actually proud to be representing Mr. Brown in this debate. I am just a 14 year old teen, and I believe I have not fully been able to grasp every single details in his books, but I have been successful n grasping what I should've grasped.

I have read, the Da Vinci Code, and Deception Point, and I currently am reading Angels & Demons. So far its just as excellent as the other two. There are many aspects of the book that attract readers. JK Rowling's Harry Potter books were written to mostly attract a younger audience (Please note, what I am writing is solely based on my opinion, what I am about to say, is not to be taken as a "fact" these are just my thoughts.) When people write, they write considering the audience that will read the book. Yes, its true that Dan Brown's books aren't for all audiences, but they aren't only for adults, if teens want to read them too, they can. (and i know tons that have)

JK Rowling's work is being read by all audiences, but its all fantasy, sure she is a wonderful writer, and I love her books, but I am really a big fan of reading something realistic. And Brown's books are the best example. They are realistic fiction, even if its all false, it can happen, its very realistic. We all aren't going to be able to do magic and fly around, but you never know about the things that happened in Brown's book, they feel so real!

Thanx Missy for pointing out few issues!=D

My Plesure 😃

First of all on the religion:You said that writers make religion as a subject of imagination to boost their sales and lucrative profit!Basically make money through religion!

Lol, if that was not true then all the bibles in the world would be free!! 😆

Allright if that true why did some chrisitans support Dan?Can you give any evidence for that?Do u call them as Anti Chiristains who are against the religion! Can't the critics just rip the book of thinking its a fake book and fake books should not be encouraged. Whenever anything comes to religion,no one can support the false reasons

If those are you views on the topic then why are discouraging Harry Potter in your statements to come for being a "fake" book based aroung lies??

Now coming back to the debate for JK..Though she's my another Fav writer,but a debate is a debate!She created a magical book?Does magic actually exsist?

No Magic does not exist, but something does not have to exist to use your imagination to create a world of your own. Sure, JKR could have played it safe and could have used the same exact concept and made it into an everyday, in this world story, but she didnt, she took the risk and created a magical world different and unique to any we have read in any of the fiction books today adn I respect her for that.. Do tell me..ah..friendship,truth and courage is not everything! Friendship, truth and courage some of the themes of the book, but that is not all the book is focused on. Harry Potter deals with many of the hardships of life, war, loss, revenge, growing up... If you want a more ensightfull explaination, read the post by xMaraudersx, which is above this one. Something which does'nt exsist then why should we believe it! No one is making you believe it or is stating that JKR's work is real and should be worshipped. It is a fictional book, and i do not ever recall the author herself ever stating that Harry Potter is a real life character and that the concept of magic is real. Harry Potter not a religion it is a work of imagination and fiction. Some parents even accused that their children are dipping down the novel and trying to get the magical stuff.. They are desperate to learn magic to the core? What more do you expect from children? Do tell me that you never imagined your self being a wizard, witch, princess etc. when you were younger? That is what children do, and this is not at all a bad thing because it encourages your child to think of the possibilities, to be creative and to use their imagination. It builds character and stimulates the mind, and dont tell me that this isa bad thing. Would you rather have a child that does not think for them selves, lives their lives listening to other people and following and beliving in what they are told?? Now wht has JK Created then? As I have said numerous time before.. She has created a FICTIONAL, creative and imaginative book, and as far as i know there is no sin and evil in doing do.

👏👏 That was outstanding 👏👏 You have done our team justise!!

Here is another issue courtesy xMarauderx and myself, thought i would add it incase time ran out before the deadline:

There's an issue about Dan Brown.
If you look at his novels, all have the same set up and there're so many parallels between each of them.

I've read Da Vinci and Angels and Demons. And both the books start with a horrific murder, have someone authority figures..Fache and Ollivetti
Then the heroine's are the ones whose loved ones are murdered. And they're pretty amazing and perfect and what not.
There's someone who's like a thug...just used as a dangerous weapon..the Hassasin and that albino bloke in Da Vinci...Silas, I think.

Then, there's the "shocking" person who turns out to be a villain....

Even the point of climax is almost the same...the big muscle man ends up dying...
And the action is pretty insane and totally un-realistic. Langdon survived a drop from a high flying helicopter with the help of a cloth?


Another issue is that many would claim that "Angels and Demons" was a far better book then "The Da Vinci Code", yet it did not do as well as "The Da Vinci Code" because it didn't make any outrageous claims about Jesus. Again this relates back to the claims of Dan using religion as a way to earn money.

The time is up and we have heard all ur debates. Its 1st September (Atleast here it is.. 😆 ) and the thread is going to be closed. The judges results will be out soon.

Best of luck everyone
