Introduction:

With a book you create another world and imagine every detail without limits.

In this part, each group has to tell the other group your argument, why you are for or against the
topic or issue. Speak 5 to 10 sentences.

Stefanny:
. Value: Books leave a world at
your fingertips, as you are painting
everything in your mind that the
book describes and that freedom
can be very exciting for some
people and for others, books
become something you can do
part of. Imagination and creativity
are freedom. Reading allows you
to create and travel to different
worlds.
. Fact: According to Sarah Hm,
“The magic of reading makes you
feel that a new adventure extends
before you and that you can be a
part of it, that you are next to the
protagonist while conquering his
true love or while capitanging on a
ship about to sink.”(Stefanny)
A book can get us to imagine from
beginning to end what in its pages is
written, and even our imagination
can be much more complete than
what the movie ends up being,
besides that, reading is also related
to our trust, self-esteem and
security. By reading the book, its
details, and the atmosphere or the
way in which the writer has
presented them, each of us can
imagine a unique character in which
all his features and attitudes will be
projected.
The book allows the viewer to build
the story, to be part of it, while in
the movies they already give you
everything, the books allow the
recipients to act, to gradually
decipher what happens in the story.

Einer: fact. According to studies
carried out by specialist researchers
such as Raymond Mar and Keith
Oatley, do we live what we read and
do we live what we read? Oatley and
Mar concluded that the brain does not
seem to clearly distinguish between
reading about the experience of a
fictional character and experiencing
that activity in real life. According to
the specialist, when a person reads
that a fictional character is performing
a certain activity, the areas of the

as those that that person uses to
carry out that action. "As we know,
when we read a story whose
protagonist faces a dangerous or
fearful situation, we feel fear,"
exemplified Mar. And this is clearly
related to empathy, the feeling of
identification with something or
someone.
Luisa:police.
The books are better for many
reasons and the blog called Barnes &
Noble, tells us 6 of the reasons, one is
to lose a lot of adaptation, because
the movie can change some scenes
and can make you lose the original
essence of the book, an example for
me can be the series and the book of
Shadowhunters, where changes in the
series some features and characters
and scenes.
Richard:value: Books are more
important to me because they help to
speed up the mind and strengthen
people's memory, intelligence and
imagination.
Melissa: police. The most beneficial
reasons for reading a book are many,
but I mention the most important,
mental stimulation, vocabulary

increase knowledge and gives
greater detail than most movies. For
that another reason more are the
books better than movies.
not and there we are wrong since in
many families or groups of friends or
reading courses they also allow that
sharing or enjoying reading to take
place as in families, it is customary
to get together to read a book every
so often.
Books are more expensive than
watching a movie
To read you don't have to buy the
books, you can borrow them at
libraries or read them on the
internet.For example, in Medellin
there is a Public Library System that
provides its services in person and
virtually.
Memorize:
Reading is not about memorizing
everything that is in a book, in fact,
reading provides greater capacity for
analysis to understand what is read,
when it is understood, it internalizes
information, but it is not memorized.
It is true that data is not retained
when something is memorized, but
the real intention is to understand
and internalize information that can
be useful in real life.
The book is capable of transporting
a person to another time, stimulates
imagination and creativity, improves
cognitive processes such as:
concentration and attention, and
also improves understanding.

Manuela: Police.

The newspaper el pais exposes why

films attempt against the creations of
former writers, transforming them ;
movies are not the same as books. In
fact, they are something completely
different in all respects. A book,
however faithfully adapted it may be,
they always have to "take" things
from it when they are moved to the
big screen. Why? Because movies
can't be 4 or 5 hours long.

Nelson: value. I think that reading a

book helps more to develop your
imagination, reading takes you to
each environment or story that the
book tells and you can feel part of
that story, many times the movies do
not take into account characteristics
that are very important in the book
and you are also limited by a time
that many times causes that the film
did not manage to tell the story well

Valentina: fact. According to Miriam

Nayeli Ortiz, master’s degree in
education, reading increases and
provides cultural information, as well
as, as it generates knowledge of
human culture, it allows the reader to
know other perspectives and raise
their own perspectives, providing
tools of creativity, originality and
fluidity. It also strengthens the
capacity for analysis and
concentration. Getting these
capabilities through movies, it
becomes complicated, because they
present the elements explicitly,
indicate that thinking, and leave no
room for imagination and analysis.

Ashly

. Value: The book is today one of the

clearest and even most important
representatives of culture, despite the
advance of different technological
media that have made it lose part of
its popularity.

Books have proven throughout history

that they are the most important
pillar of human culture. I believe that
they are one of the most relevant
creations of the human being since
the book appears as one of the most
common forms of recording data,
information and other numerous
elements that ultimately make the
identity of the human being as part of
civilization.
