Book of Revelation

multiple grounds. The book was banned for its multiple counts of murder, suicide, and the degradation of motherhood. The book was banned from elementary libraries in the state. Even though it was banned from libraries it still remained available for classroom use at any teacher's discretion. In my own opinion though I don't believe that the book should be banned because someone took something in a different way than the writer meant to imply. The so called murders in this book was not like most…

Have you ever read the book: Of Mice and Men? If you have, you may ask why it is banned. The reason for its banning is that it has a lot of profaned language. I have three reasons why it should be banned: offensive language, racism, violence. It think it should be banned for these reasons. My first reason is offensive language. Offensive language can easily offend someone or something. It can be taken a wrong way. If it is taken a wrong way you can get in big trouble. Some of the offensive…

Fighting for Banned Books I went to the banned books workshop were we talked about different topics people usually feel awkward about. When ignorant people feel this way they usually think it is best to ban a book even though these can make people understand the topics and are really relevant to our present society. Maybe some books are to strong but they even took out books about adoption. The conference was given by Gabriel Acevedo and it was a brilliant workshop since it had discussion of…

in the book, and can affect the reader too. On the other hand the American dream is also poorly represented in the book. This book should be banned throughout schools because of the harsh language used, the thought of racism and violence, and the teaching of a dream being taken away. “Why ain't you wanted?” Lennie asked. “Cause I’m black. They play cards in there, but I can’t play because I'm black.” (Steinbeck. Pg. 67). This quote represents the racism found in the book. Throughout the book…

One main idea that can be seen in the four books we read and the movie that we watched, everyone is treated specific ways because of how they are different from the others around them. The way that people interact with others is based mostly on how different they are from them. Reading about how things use to be and being able to see how little has changed over time just confirms that we need to work together to change things for the better. Everyone knows how people will treat others different…

Rowling saved books from being outlawed. When J. K. Rowling was a kid she wrote everyday and night. So everyday the characters would talk to her. J.K. Rowling wrote such good books that most of the time the words came off the page. Everyone one loved her books. At the time she was writing the Harry Potter series. She was friends with every character. She started writing Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, but was stopped. She was stopped because the president of the USA was banning books…

Why aren’t there textbooks in the classrooms? In the years of 2011 to now school districts across the United States have embraced the transformation from textbooks to tablets. For example, schools like Burlington High School in Massachusetts have agreed to stop purchasing textbooks. They believe that students will be successful and learn the required material from kindergarten to twelfth grade. In order for students to be successful they need to have access to the material without the hardship…

Some parents and professionals characterized the younger generation's online reading habits as more time browsing, non-linear reading, and reading more selectively, while less time is spent on in-depth reading. In "Reading Literature Makes Us Smarter and Nicer", Annie Murphy Paul, a magazine journalist, argues that people who read literature are more likely to be empathetic and understanding other people's perspective. She claims that the younger generation is being cheated by their digital…

A white scalloped shelf in the corner for as long as I can remember holds all the books I’ve ever read. From books I learned to read with to the ones my mom has tried to get me to read for years. Over the past fourteen years my taste in books has evolved from Daisy Meadows fairy stories, to young adult books, to ones with more serious and realistic topics. Ever since I read my first Dr. Seuss book aloud in class, I have loved reading. I would spend hours in my room reading then march downstairs…

to work in a library (and serve as an Uber driver for my children), I have encountered many reluctant readers, especially boys, looking for something more challenging than the Magic Tree House series. They often stipulate, “It can’t be too big of a book and it can’t be boring.” I believe Charlie Malone and the Curse of the Pharaoh's Beard might fit that description. When Charlie Malone’s older sister, Kira, discovers his history project on ancient Egypt is due tomorrow, Charlie expects her to…
