No Banning Of Books Have you ever gotten a slip asking for your parents permission to read certain books? There are people in the world who want to ban books that are too serious of a topic for students. Students won’t be able to learn about those serious topics until they are exposed to it physically. Students being restricted from reading books with serious topics won’t know what happens in the world. Censoring books take away the student’s right of freedom. Having freedom means to be able…

chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ as a book store named ‘Page Turner’. I chose this because I have a passion for reading books and was interested in making an advertisement as a bookstore trying to sell a featured book. My target audience is people regularly read books and travel to book stores. The advertisement would be published on the front counter at the bookstore so when people come to buy one of the books they will see ‘fiction of the month’ and of its…

I saw the job position of Reader’s Services Assistant advertised on the Lawrence Public Library's Facebook page. I'm interested and qualified in this position - I'm outgoing, enjoy helping people and love reading and recommending new books (as well as music and even software). My experience with freelance computer repair and volunteering has taught me how to positively interact with people and even how to defuse conflicts. I have also had to learn how to problem solve in new situations and had…

you for choosing my school to select three artifacts for a time capsule that will be taken to Mars on your next space mission. I have chose three artifacts that would be significant to the future generation. These three artifacts consist of, a CD, a book, and a phone. I think these items would be significant because they were such monumental changes in our society today. The first artifact I chose is the CD, “Straight to DVD 2”. CD’s are disks that hold data, the data on the CD can be videos,…

Mikayla Duvall What is a banned book? A banned book is a challenged book that was removed from shelves at certain places for various reason. Water For Elephants happens to be a banned book. The book was banned by parents at Bedford High School. By examining the graphic sexual content, foul language, and the circus life, it is clear that this book is still worth reading. The books graphic content doesn’t overshadow the literal merit in my opinion. On page 135 the book describes in great detail…

intriguing – and yet, An Inheritance of Ashes fell completely flat. I don’t know what it was about the book that finally made me realize how much I was starting to loathe the thing. I was so confused about it all. I had no idea what the setting was, for one thing. This was supposed to be a fantasy, but the only thing that felt like fantasy was the introduction of the Twisted Things. Otherwise, I thought this book was some sort of historical fiction. The mentality of the characters,…

reading to me. She used to read me books like Cat in the Hat, the Three Little Pigs, Humpty Dumpty and the Little Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. These books were read to me before bedtime. I remember these books because my mother always had some type of action that goes along with that the characters where doing in the book. Oftentimes, she would follow the reading of the book up with a finger play of that book. When I wanted to read, my mother taught me how with the book series Dick and Jane.…

Should Scary Stories 3 be banned? The book that I read was "Scary Stories 3 More Tales To Chill Your Bones" by Alvin Schwartz. My book was about many different stories of gruels, creatures, and ghost. Many people think it should be banned, because its gruesome, the violence, and the profanity. I think it should be banned. Depending on your religion it could possibly offend you. My first reason the book is banned is the profanity. They do talk a little more advanced for this age…

kids at age 13? Maybe not, but that is for a parent to decide. That is, if a parent is actually monitoring what their child reads. Most parents are probably just happy to see their adolescent child reading. How a parent could not find one appropriate book for a 13 year old in Barnes and Noble is beyond me. Maybe she should have done a little research before heading off to the bookstore. She sounds like one of those parents in the 1950’s afraid to let their kids listen to that “subversive” band,…
