Books of Kings

read a book, but couldn't find it anywhere? That's because your book could be banned or challenged. A banned book is when someone bans a book for the content or there's something wrong with the book. 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…

Protestant Reformation the most because it allowed for Martin Luther to spread his ideas and the 95 theses around Europe. According to one estimate, one third of the books, 300,000 books, printed between 1518 and 1525 were written by Luther (Doc. B). 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…

Book burning is the destruction of writings which the subject, or the view of the author is considered socially politically objectionable: used as a means of censorship or oppression. Book burnings can be because of a religious or cultural difference of the material in the books. Book burnings were used to portray set opinions about certain information and to make the public feel the same way. The most common reason books were burned was to censor or to destroy a part of a culture. Book…

The banned book I read was killing Mr.Griffen. This book was on the American library association’s most frequently banned book list in 1990-2000. This book is frequently challenged because of violence, language, drinking drugs and smoking. I think this book should probably stay on the banned books list and according to most of the research I done a lot of other people do to. According to north branch manager Janet good on October 2nd they had a meeting on the banned/challenged book Killing Mr…

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…
