Book of Malachi

a world where books are forbidden, and watching television, almost all the time, was supported majorly in your society. Sounds good right? WRONG! Ironically, in the book Fahrenheit 451, that's exactly how it was. This book was based on the future, and what Ray Bradbury thought it was to be like based upon the habits of the youth during his time. The people in this book, are very similar to the people today, but the only variation between the people today and the people in the book is, the people…

“There is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything then of a book!” (Austen; 47). The world contains many books for our enjoyment, however the best of those books are most often classics. Not any book can become a classic, it needs specific characteristics and traits. However, Pride and Prejudice, a great story known to all, became a classic because it contains those very same characteristics. Pride and Prejudice has universal themes that can transcend place and time and…

Growing up, I thought my mom read too much, and I knew when she was reading, the next time we went to the grocery store one of my favorite childhood snacks would not make its way into the shopping cart. What she was reading were these health magazines and online articles that outlined the basics for a better diet and lifestyle. And due to her always reading, my mom was slowly developing into an eco-friendly, mildly modified and healthy food nut. Organic was the big word to my 9 year old self.…

their own life, it is beneficial to them to be able to see their favorite characters face the same problems. Some teens enjoy being able to find those answers in books, Patricia McCormick, young adult author of books such as Never Fall Down and Cut, agrees that teens enjoy problem-solving and states “Part of the reason they want to read books about homophobia or trafficking or alcoholism or teen pregnancy or whatever…is because they are curious about finding solutions.”(Is Current).

read the diary.

Students should definitely read this book. One reason why students should read this book is because it is a first hand account of the Holocaust. Secondary…

This essay is about banning books, and whether or not the community has the right to control what students read in schools. I believe that the community should say what books students read. I believe this for the following reasons. One reason is that the community is largely made up of the parents of students, and the parents have a considerable amount of power over their children. First, the parents would be concerned that their children were being read disturbing books in school. They might…

Who is it up to, to ban and censor books? This question has not only puzzled me but millions of others. Books are challenged and banned every year based on controversial issues like; sexism, violence, profanity, sexuality, and racism. I believe that books should be censored and only certain people should be able to censor them. My personal viewpoint is that guardians, educators, and oneself should censor books. When I turned fourteen I was finally allowed to read The Hunger Games. Immediately…
