Question

Do u think that j.k.rowling SERIOUSLY deserves a Nobel prize?

Answer 1

What people don't realise is that yes harry potter may not be the best written set of books in the world but think about what she has done for the world of children and reading. She has made a whole generation of people love to read and some of these people may not have ever done so. The harry potter books teach life lessons and give people something to enjoy and strong female and male role models. She had created a generation of people who love books and for that i think she is the best and most influential author in the world. For someone to write a children's book and end up having an audience of literally all ages is a big deal so yes and i think she should be knighted as well. It isn't about what the books are it is about what the books have done and what she has done for children.

Answer 2

Yes. Harry Potter touched millions of people's lives in a way that most literature never achieves. It was more than just a tweenie fad. Adults both male and female love it just as well. Her prose might not be mind-blowing, but the story and characters are funny, heartwarming, terrifying, frustrating – real! They feel like you could pluck them right out of the pages.



I'm having trouble believing that Ringwraith actually read the books. No personality or character growth? Really? If you say so...

Answer 3

No. Not at all.



The Harry Potter books are full of plot holes. They are childishly written, and their target demographic most often doesn't have the maturity to appreciate real literature when they read it. It gets too heavy and boring for them. J.K. Rowling is also extremely derivative and is based closely on several other books released in the last few decades. Harry himself as a character has no depth. He never changes or displays any sign of maturity or even a personality.



There are many more deserving contestants for a Nobel Prize.

Answer 4

HELL YES! There's so much more to Harry Potter than a lot of people realize. If you sit and analyze the book, the hidden secrets and connections are literally frightening when you think about them. It's also a deeply psychological and emotional series that you learn new things about every time you re-read a book.



She was able to write so well that the characters grew up with us, not to mention the many moral lessons and inspiration that she imparted to a growing generation. Her books were not just popular in the UK, but all over the entire world. That takes true skill as a writer.

Answer 5

If Barack Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, Then certainly j.k. should be in line for the Literary Prize. If nothing else, she has sold books in the millions.

Answer 6

Yes that woman did not only create a whole new world she inspired millions of kids to read and write she is an inspiration to people of all ages

Answer 7

Not yet. Maybe one day, but they have yet to recongnize Stephen King and Nora Roberts- both of whom have written many more best sellers. In fact I don't think they ever recognized Dr. Seuss.

Answer 8

No. Her books are not very well written, regardless of how creative and engaging the plot was. She has a great imagination and did an amazing job of getting kids' attention; she got a large amount of children to start reading (including me). However, the award is not based on popularity of the author's works, it is given to the most outstanding works in an ideal direction. J.K. Rowling got me started on reading, but I do not believe that she deserves a Nobel Prize.

PS. I apologize for using a semicolon, but I could think of nothing else to use in my second sentence. To quote Kurt Vonnegut, semicolons are "transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing". Now there's a man who deserved a Nobel Prize...

Answer 9

No more so than Stephen King or Agatha Christie.

Answer 10

a) It's not up to me or, presumably, you.



b) Why not? She turned at least hundreds of millions of kids into readers.

Answer 11

Yes.

Answer 12

No

Answer 13

nope

Answer 14

yes.

Answer 15

huh?
