Do you think it is comen for an author to copy

For instance Eragon. You cant forget that it is also a part of writing a book for example. It is very common to have brothers or sisters fighting over something. The movie The three musketeers is a good example. The sons of the king fought over the right to be king.

There is even a book out there that talks about the common things that authors use. Like the book Thirty six dramatic situations. This book talks about the most common situations that authors use and if I remember correctly the father of the hero being evil is the first on the list. this book was published a long time ago so it should point out what i am trying to persuade. It was Published by Editor company in 1917.

If need be I will look up books that have this in it and prove that it is a common dramatic situation. Is there any one out there that thinks they can prove me wrong. Sticky this if need be for I think this will be a good topic. Please no cuss words or name calling. This is just a debate not a baby sitting service.

Fell in love with Spyro when I was little. I played it with my friends. They went different ways over time and I refused to let this go. I am seventeen and still enjoy playing the old games as well as the new. Game makers are of their own and I have no reason to disagree because they made it perfect
