Angels & Demons: Important Quote

An important quote in the novel, Angels & Demons, is when Vittoria says, "Religion is like language or dress. We gravitate toward the practices which we were raised. In the end, though, we are all proclaiming the same thing. That life has meaning. That we are grateful for the power that created us." This quote is very important, because it reflects one of the main character's opinions on religion. In this novel, it seems as if people's opinions on religion take a very important role throughout the course of the novel, because their opinions on religion and science change due to scientific discoveries made by Leonardo Vetra. This quote means that your religion depends on where you were born. This quote also shows that one of the main characters, Vittoria Vetra, believes that it doesn't matter what religion you believe in. Vittoria believes that the type of religion doesn't matter, for they all point toward the same essential subject: How were we humans created? It is important that the reader knows Vittoria's perspective on religion, because I have noticed that as the story goes on, the characters' ideas on religion and science begin to change. I predict Vittoria's ideas about religion and science will change, which is why I think it is important for the reader to know her original idea about religion.

Angels & Demons: Connections

In the novel, Angels & Demons, by Dan Brown, I have noticed that the author makes very important connections to the world. Dan Brown clearly expresses through his work, different ideas and concepts of religion, science, and how the world began. These ideas are connected to society, because just like people in our world, characters in the book believe in different ideas of how the world started. For instance, the biggest idea about religion and science the author describes, is that of Leonardo Vetra's. This idea is that religion and science are actually closely related, and both prove the same concept of how the world came to be. Basically, Vetra believes that science proves God's existence. This idea is very unlike what other characters in the book thought. Most characters in the novel believed in a different idea of how the world came to be. These ideas were either religious or scientific, but definitely not both. Just like in society, different people in the novel believe in the big bang theory, God, evolution and unique ideas like that of Leonardo Vetra's. This is why this book closely relates to our world today.

Angels & Demons

I had recently just started the novel Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown. So far in the novel, symbiologist Robert Langdon receives a mysterious phone call from CERN, a nuclear research council in Europe. CERN notifies Langdon about a very mysterious outburst that has just happened. Miximilian Kohler, the director of CERN transports Langdon to CERN, which is located in Europe, in need of his help. Langdon discovers that CERN isn't just an ordinary research lab. CERN is composed of top scientists from different countries across the world. They make scientific miracles happen almost daily. Langdon then realizes something serious has just happened for him to be here. Leonardo Vetra, one of the most brilliant scientists of all time in the novel, has been murdered. Not only that, but a mysterious word has been branded across his chest. This word is illuminati. Langdon immediately recognizes this word from his research. Langdon explains to Kohler a historical story of how illuminati, the world's most powerful, old, and satanic cult came to be. This story involves both science and religion. No one knows why Vetra was murdered, or how the Illuminati relates to him. I predict that Langdon and Kohler will combine their knowledge of religion and science to reveal the cause of the murder. I also believe this novel will be similar to another one of Dan Brown's novels, Digital Fortress. I think just like in Digital Fortress, Angels and Demons will be filled with suspense, twists and turns, and action.
