Book of Revelation

what I was required to read in school. When book reports were assigned I tended to read books based on the mood I was in, therefore I would define myself as a mood reader. My interests in books are varied. I like fiction novels but I have also enjoyed reading some biographies. I occasionally read entertainment magazines and news articles on the internet. If a book is really good I can read for hours and get lost in the story. I like Nicholas Spark’s books and I am in the process of reading…

In the letter "Ban Those Books!" the author takes a strong stance on the censorship of "evil- minded books" from schools. The emotional investment fueling the author's argument is made apparent by the abundance of illogical and overgeneralized statements used in just about every sentence. The distorted claims made by the author raise doubt in any reasonable and objective audience and, therefore, does not convince them of the authors message. The writer uses several tactics to try to sway the…

Case for Good Taste in Children’s Books” is given my Meghan Cox Gurdon. She is a children’s book reviewer for the Wall Street journal. In her speech, she discusses what makes a young adult book today. How the stories like the Jungle Book and Alice in Wonderland are the past. Because today, books discuss the profound ways of things that teenagers could be exposed to. And as adults and parents it’s important to protect our children from these types of books, because books are the key to mind. I…

At the moment, the book I am reading is The Giver. I have no idea if it is at my level, but it seems to be pretty simple to read, not many complicated words. What I do well is keeping track on what happens in the book, inferencing and predicting, making connections, getting my points, and especially asking questions and wondering. When it comes to what I struggle with, I really don’t read often when I should. Also, I tend to wander off in the middle of book, which makes me go back and reread the…

When a book is challenged, it means someone's fighting for the book to be banned. For example, “A Stolen Life” by Jaycee Dugard is a banned book. I agree the book should be banned, because of the inappropriate content in the book. At Crossroads middle school received a complaint about the book “A…

Since so many of the books were being written by Martin Luther, the odds of people reading his books greatly increased, spreading his thoughts and ideas throughout Germany and parts of…

According to north branch manager Janet good on October 2nd they had a meeting on the banned/challenged book Killing Mr…
