Book of Nehemiah

not going to read books anymore in metaphorically. Importance of books has been mentioned since people had invented writing skill. Do books deserve to be saved? If so, why do we need to save books? Answer always going to be ‘yes, because books are sources where we can get knowledge from.’ There is similar story with this book in china called Burning of books and burying of scholars. After the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi unified China in 221 BC; he banned reading books and burned it…

went on to develop his press in the Holy Roman Empire. He saw the printing press as a financial opportunity, due to the high cost of books at the time. Prior to his groundbreaking invention, knowledge was very much limited to the royalty or the religious order because attaining access to any sort of literature was a painstaking task. In order to have a copy of a book, including the bible, each word had to be copied into a second version which led to extreme inefficiency and transcription errors…

Thank you so much for the classroom set of scissors and the concept story books. My multiple handicap and fourth grade students have greatly enjoyed the books. My multiple handicapped classes favorite has been "What a Wonderful World." Though it is music class I work with these students on reading skills through songs. Two of my students are in speech classes, as well. This song has helped them practice pronouncing their T's. They are working with triplet rhythms as well with this story.…

Banned Books The Story Untold: Cujo Final Copy Have you ever read a banned book? The thing is, most people don’t know if a book is banned or not. The book I strongly suggest for adults and most teenagers is Cujo. This book is filled with gore and adultery from top to bottom. Cujo has been banned in multiple city and state schools all over the United States. Like I said earlier Cujo was banned for adultery, gore and adult language. Cujo is definitely the kind of book I would think would get…

good book… oh no, not that one. All over the world, books of all varieties are being banned. The ban of books should never happen, because it stops the world from having a variety of material to learn from. Books should not be banned based on a group's beliefs, the ban denies an author freedom of speech, and the laws which prove whether a book is obscene or not are very unclear. Books should not be banned based on a single person or group's religious, moral, or political beliefs. Many books…

always in awe when teachers come to me and ask for books that deal with social topics for use in their classrooms. It seems a book is their first “go to” when addressing difficult issues. I quickly learned to search for books that dealt with topics that would help children cope with the challenges and difficulties of life to add to our collection. I believe it is our job to guide teachers, counselors and other school personnel in identifying books that will help students in certain situations.…

For my essay I met with Peter Alter, a historian and the archivist at the Chicago History Museum (CHM) since 2010. Peter was exceptionally helpful and patient in answering all of my questions. The archives at the CHM house many important collections relating to life in the Chicago region that go back as far as 1683. Having used their research center, I have always been impressed at how user-friendly their searchable database is, and how quickly they are able to locate the folders requested…

The book that i’m reading is The Power of Un which is by Nancy Etchemendy so far I have not liked my book it’s not hard or a challenge and that’s why I don’t like it because I liked to be challenged in a new book. But the story is getting better right now Roxy was just hit by a truck and she is in the hospital with a coma. So far in my book Ash and Gib swore on a dead sparrow that they would go to this carnival so they go to the carnival and they took Gibs sister Roxy along with Ash. Roxy went…

The controversy of book censorship has been around in America since the beginning of American colonization. Whether a person opposes book censorship or is for it, there is always something being stirred up. The list is already long and still growing. It consists of literature like Of Mice and Men, for its offensive language, racism, and violence, or The Outsiders, for its anti-religious content plus many, many more books for similar and completely different reasons. Best-Sellers and might I say…

Banned Book Should people be allowed to rate a book because they feel it is not appropriate for a certain age group? Whether it goes against your religion , view of violence, drugs and deaths, the book has the right to be sold and read by the people around the world. The book should save a section of the book that warn the reader of which ages that will be able to handle it. But nobody should be able to censor a book because it takes away freedom of speech. Religion is one of the top reasons…
