Book of Revelation

reading a banned book, I think that it should be banned. “The Great Gatsby” is what I read for this project. I enjoyed this book and I cannot wait till I see the movie. “The Great Gatsby” was published in 1925 by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I am not big on classic books but I really enjoyed this classic. I do agree that this book should be banned, but not from everyone. This book should be banned for children under the age of 13. I am going to tell you, with the sources I have used, why this book was…

Question 21. What were your feelings after reading the first few pages of the book? What details from the book made you feel that way? When I read the first few chapters of Cress by Marissa Meyer, I was filled with excitement to keep reading; the first chapters were not only continuing the stories of Cinder and Scarlet, but also adding Cress. Since the book splits between two stories, you have twice the anxiousness. The Cress story gives me a feeling of sorrow, where the story of Cinder and…

The American Library Association created a list of books that are prohibited to read in schools. Due to violence and “mature” content, parents challenge books because they don’t find them very comely for their children to read; the parents believe the books will sully their child’s mind. The list of banned and challenged books includes the story of “Grendel” and The Alice Series. “Grendel” by John C. Gardner tells the 8th century epic of Beowulf from Grendel’s point of view. The story tells of…

Books are banned by schools/ associations. One specific book that I have read is We All Fall Down by Robert Cormier. Books can be banned for nine common reasons these are racial issues, encouragement of damaging life’s, blasphemous, dialogue, sexual situations or dialogue, violence/ negativity, presence of witchcraft, religious afflictions, political bias, and age inappropriate. There are many more reasons in which books can be banned for, my book is banned for vandalism, revenge, and alcoholism…

and scripted dialogues are taking over the minds of the masses. Books have slowly evolved into work, not pleasure. It is hard to find children who spend their time reading a Dr. Seuss book rather than playing Flappy Birds on an iPad. People used to line up to snatch a newly released novel; now people wait in line to watch the next Fast and Furious movie. As other forms of media become more and more popular, the importance and use of books are becoming less and less significant. The saying…

of like parents. I chose to respond to this reading journal entry for very much the same reasons Amber Hemp picked this book and why Brody wrote it. I feel a need to hear from the perspective of a parent who’s child struggles with disabilities. Amber focuses her description of the book on ways it benefits educators. She offers three strong reasons for educators to read this book. The first is that teachers can at times question a parents decision regarding a child with…

you rarely see a person with a book; however, one book series are still in the hand of all age groups today. These- must- read books are the Harry Potter series. It all began with the first novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Written by the talented J. K. Rowling in 1997, her first book won the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize, which is a prize given to British Children Books that ran from 1985 to 2007. Her first book sold 107 million worldwide, making the book in the hands of every child.…

Row after row of beautifully lined up books, all in perfect order. The air hung with mugginess as no one knows when the last time the windows were opened. With every step the floor screeched in protest and erupted with dust. Cobwebs hung like great sheets of hair from an ancient hag, white, dirty and tangled from the high windows and roof. Aria Hale pushed up her thick glasses, magnifying her emerald green eyes. She tightened her short, chocolate coloured ponytail, getting ready for the hunt.…

In this book there are two hundred and eight pages. This book, that is sitting next to me at the time of writing this, took me a couple of hours to read probably about two hours maybe a bit more not that much time compared to some books that I’ve read, might have dragged those out or just didn’t buckle down and start reading like I did with this book. This book was about a Japanese samurai who had to help someone who didn’t realize their purpose and with that in mind I learned that sometimes…

"girl stuff." Lexi's favorite genre is fiction, and the last book she read was El Deafo, by Cece Bell, which she enjoyed. Lexi's reading goal is to improve on bigger words, although she still considers herself a talented reader. Lexi definitely loves to laugh since she enjoys Americas Home Funnies Videos and books with humor.…
