Book of Obadiah

Montag stood on the warm ground covered in ash, biting his lip, he felt a lump in his throat as if all the emotions were trying to burst out in a loud cry. He held back. But not strong enough, as a tear fell down his left cheek as he finally grasped the fact that he was alone. Physically he wasn’t alone but to him emotionally felt alone. Clarisse, Mildred, Faber, gone. Although deep down, he knew that this was for the better. Sounds of wood crackling and broken TV’s sizzling and buzzing…

Imagine falling from the top of an enormous oak tree while young boys at the bottom are yelling profane words and accusations, and it is still unclear what caused the fall in the first place. Books like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, A Separate Peace and even The Bible have been removed from school curriculums due to their profane language, obscenity, and violence. In particular, A Separate Peace was banned because of its use of profane language. Although A Separate Peace by John Knowles…

not be allowed to such inappropriate content. People make arguments about these attempts of removing the book from school shelves, but people also support that the books must be removed. By examining the violence, depression, and anti-ethnic, it’s clear that we should ban The Mockingjay. The Mockingjay is full of violence and the gullible minds of the youth may be persuaded from the books violent content. The main character Katniss plans and succeeds in murdering the president Mr. Snow. The…

removed from school shelves. Kids have no say in this so they have to attempt to persuade an adult to argue on their side of the argument. By examining the violence, depression, and anti-ethnic, it’s clear that The Mockingjay should be banned. This book has a lot of violent content. Katniss plans and succeeds at murdering President Snow. Katniss shoots down planes with explosive arrows. The capitol destroys a building full of sick and injured people because Katniss is there. President Snow…

though? If you have, then you will see the typical stereotypes that are used in almost every single one of them. As the years go on though we are beginning to see different types of children’s books with different set-ups that give more equality to not only genders but to different races. I chose to use three books that I read over and over again as a little girl which are: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and also Anastasia. In Sleeping Beauty, Aurora, the princess is put under a spell and is…

I have read or started to read eight books during my first semester. Frankenstein was my favorite book because of its plot, and the general idea of the story. Frankenstein was filled with an inspiring pursuit of knowledge. I have only read about one-third of A Thousand Splendid Suns, and plan to finish it during my second semester. Perhaps it will surpass The Great Gatsby and Copper Sun on my list of favorites this year. I have only read two chapters of the program, however, I ranked it two…

Faber is an intelligent man, a college professor. He’s smart about hiding his books, though he likes to read in public which is a huge risk. He knows that reading books aren’t bad, that you can find pleasure, inspiration, and even knowledge within them. He’s cautious, especially since your house and belongings would be burnt down if they found books within them, and he was extremely skeptical of Montag at first, scared that Montag would out him to the firemen or use him for some other ulterior…

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…
