Saying that Harry Potter is a book about magic is like saying that Animal Farm is a book about animals, amirite?

Uh huh... That's the point...

We just read Animal Farm in English class! Napoleon should've been bacon.

So what you're getting at is that MALFOY should have been some wizard skinny jeans?

Malfoy wasnt half as evil and greedy, he was nothing like napoleon. J.k Rowling didn't make readers really hate malfoy... Sure he was a pain, but you pitied him and felt sorry for him later. While George Orwell deliberately made the readers hate napoleon and feel no pity. He made you get angry while J.k Rowling just made you dislike malfoy. Malfoy never really did anything bad. Napoleon murdered.

Magic is an important factor of HP, while Animal Farm has nothing to do with animals.

We must not've read the same book, then.

Or more, the animals in animal farm are all allegorical symbols, while the magic in HP is not a symbol but an actual plot device.

Ctiscooler, that's exactly what I meant to say. The animals themselves don't have anything to do with the plot.

I think the OP meant that both assumptions - that Animal Farm is about animals and Potter is about magic - are shallow and incomplete evaluations of books that are blatantly meant to paint a bigger picture. In that sense, it's totally true.

And like saying Odd Future is rapping about raping, murdering and cannibalism... not that I expect a giant amount of people to know who they are.

It's not like they actually do all that stuff, they don't do horrorcore.

Tell your fellow amirite members to stop suggesting stupid posts for POTD.

Doesnt Anthony pick the POTD?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah but I'm pretty sure he takes our suggestions into consideration

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I didn't mean to say "No, I think POTD sucks." I meant "No, I think the POTDs are fine." there are a lot of posts on amirite? And you can't expect mods/Anthony/whomever picks them to spend their lives finding the perfect POTD for everyday.

Would a down vote indicate that no, you're not the only one that thinks this?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I thought you would downvote if you disagreed

Oh I don't actually know. Does this mean that a negative score is a good thing?
