Ban on Fiction Books To the School Board, I believe that the banning of fiction books is a defective idea for the reason that countless number of people get creative ideas from these types of books. Fiction books make people want to explore outside their comfort zone, and give motivation to keep fighting for different goals . A larger number of intelligent people think fiction books are helpful, Albert Einstein supports this quote that fiction books can help you become brilliant by saying,“If…

While resting comfortably in my air-conditioned bedroom one hot summer night, my mom came into my room, sat down on my bed, and showed me this book she had begun to read. She went into detail about how moved she was from the story, and asked me if I would read it. She said that it was something that would leave me speechless. Little did I know, that she was right. “Let Me Hear Your Voice” is written by Catherine Maurice, who is also the main character in the novel. Maurice’s two children were…

Books are an essential part of life and learning. They are used worldwide and provide endless information on anything you desire to learn about. Starting the moment a child is born, parents are constantly reading bedtime stories to their kids and in elementary school they are encouraged to read countless times. However, once kids reach the young adult age things start to get a little different. Books aren’t about fairytales and superheroes like they were in elementary. They start to challenge…

Elizabeth Kolbert summarizes an excerpt from a book titled “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” written by Amy Chua. The excerpt was assigned to her children in school, stating that the children’s teacher had been given the article from a friend who received it via a long-shared chain of emails. Kolbert goes over the main essential parts of the essay while maintaining a non-biased opinion of the article. Kolbert uses many of Chua’s more controversial points to invoke thinking in the reader, often…

ironic because a book changed my life. That a book I chose out of the millions of books was destined to be the one that would change my life. You might think it's an exaggeration of me saying that this book changed my life-well it's not. This book changed my perspective on life. A task that had seemed impossible. A book did. This book was "How it All got started" by Ramses M. It details the life of hip-hop icons and all the stumbling blocks they had to overcome. The way the book was written it…

Every book I've ever read is a different combination of the same 26 letters. It is astounding to think that these 26 letters could have such a profound impact on my life. The books I read allow me to become transported into an alternative universe and understand new concepts in a way I could have never imagined. Although my journey as a reader has been filled with a vast amount of accomplishments, I have also faced trials throughout the way. These trials have allowed me to develop my skill set…

Banning books is a topic that’s on everybody's mind. Some people believe that we should ban books due to many reasons, others have different opinions. Books should notshouldn’t be banned from the library because not every student is on the same reading level, students have different interests in books, and mature students find mature books more interesting. Not every student is on the same reading level. I’m on a way higher reading level than my grade. I remember when I first started…

Diverse Opinions on Banned and Challenged Books As a critic like myself this book would be acceptable to a certain age group, with an absolute understanding of the world today and the sexual immortality and treason-like perceptions that co-exist in this novel. While explaining my point of view I will use references, word cite, and research articles. There are two different perceptions of the book I am referring to. First, “challenged books” referred to as “a book that has, for whatever reason,…

Why books are banned? Why are books banned? There are so many banned and challenged books we do not know why all of these books are banned? Some of these books are banned because of religious purposes or inappropriate scenes in the book. Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark: More Tales to Chill Your Bones is the book that me and my fellow peers chose to do the book report and this book has been banned because of the gore, cannibalism, and horror. The first reason this book is banned is because of…

of first and second grade, unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for me. It all began in second grade. Sitting around the big red table we waited for our teacher, Mrs. Guzman. She stood in front of the bookshelf to find a book for us to read. She pulled out the Magic Tree House book Tonight on the Titanic. She began by reading “Jack opened his eyes. It was a stormy night. The rain tapped hard on his window pane.” After reading the first page, she stopped and waited for next person to continue. As…
