Book of Jonah

Delotell’s Class Out of all the books I've read this year I've only found one that I truly liked. Don't get me wrong choice reading is still better than having to read a book that a teacher assigned. It always felt as if I chose wrong or I couldn't remember what was happening in my book because we had the class book along with our personal book. I think I found it easier to get back on track when I got distracted. I found it entertaining. Many of the other books just did not have the same…

Banning Books has always been a touchy subject. Many people have so many different religions and believes that it is hard to follow what is acceptable anymore. Banning books is a form of censorship that schools use to stop students from reading inappropriate content found inside literature (). It can be found all over the world, from the west coast of North America to Japan (). From the problem of banning books, to the reasons of why it happens, and how we could stop this, banning books is a…

There are a lot of books banned from the United States ( over 300 to be exact), but no one knows how many times a certain book or book have been challenged against the American Library Association. 11,300 times a certain book has been challenged and those challenged books were soon censored and banned. Censorship is any prohibition of any book that seems inappropriate or promote violence or a threat to children of age. So books have been banned that contain anything that could provoke their…

think I should tell you that I have ADD, mild/moderate dyslexia (hence a few grammatical and spelling errors), and social anxiety, which is half the reason I go to Hogwarts online. I tried actually going for a few weeks but I ended up destroying a book from the Restricted Section by doodling in the margins and nearly had a panic attack once I realized what I had done. It didn't go well. I was born in 1100 BC in Greece (making me 3,113 years old), along with my little sister Emmalisanine Keres…

The Influence of Literature Banning books for specific ages should be supported to prevent youths from being exposed to harmful content. The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, as well as other sources, include several incidents that impact both children and adolescents in a negative way. Reducing the amount of literature that is available for young aged children can positively influence their behavior in any situation. Although The Secret Life of Bees exhibits the freedom of speech and tools…

I am proud to announce that Reading Chapter has successfully thrown their first “Be Different” event. In order to explain the event, we all need some backstory. For a couple of terms “Dad” Dan Loughin has challenged Reading Chapter that if they can make positive growth, he will allow the members of the chapter who were first line signers to shave his head. Reading has been desperately trying to reach this goal for a while, but have unfortunately come short every time. However, this term was a…

Believed to have been published in Amsterdam in 1642, is the work of Flemish cartographer and engraver Hendrik Hondius. Hondius was apprenticed to Godfried van Ghelder in Brussels, studied drawing with the engraver Jan Wierix of Antwerp, and he also studied engraving along the way, to which he dedicated himself as a practice. In 1599, he became the first publisher to be granted a national privilege by the States General of the Netherlands, allowing protection against the circulation of…

country are challenging these books and trying to get them off of library shelves.Books shouldn’t be banned although some people believe that books that talk about sexuality, derogatory terms, or foul language should not be on shelves. Although some books may not be appropriate for young children does that mean we should remove them from shelves? Books can help children understand these things that are happening all around them and could teach them right from wrong. Books should not be banned…

Over the past month i have read two books, which both are in the same series: The first book is “Middle School, The WORST Years of my Life”, The second book is “Middle School, SAVE RAFE!”. Both books have a amusing plot. Nevertheless, they both have major differences and similarities with the plot, conflict, setting, and characters. The plot in both books is extremely different but has a couple similarities throughout. In the first book, “Middle school, the worst years of my life” The main…
