The most common reason books were burned was to censor or to destroy a part of a culture. Book…

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.

A quick book to read, and worth the time it takes to learn the simple but direct lessons Donald Trump and Meredith McIver included in this little gem. Just because the chapters are short, does not mean they don't contain some valuable advice. Some of it seems to be common sense to many people, but then we must remember that sometimes common sense is not as common as we would like. A short reminder of certain principles or strategies for success can be motivating and the prompting needed to get…

the banning of books has been a heavily debated topic for a long time. Many people have argued their side of why certain books should be banned. Others have their reasons as to why such books should not be restricted from public use. Two examples of those reasons are that inappropriate themes exist in the real world and that books can be used as “teaching tools” by parents. Books, even if they are “inappropriate,” should not be banned from the public. To begin, one reason that books should not…

Should authoritative books be censored in libraries? Some books can be offensive, but books are the key knowledge.
