Diverse Opinions on Banned and Challenged Books As a critic like myself this book would be acceptable to a certain age group, with an absolute understanding of the world today and the sexual immortality and treason-like perceptions that co-exist in this novel. While explaining my point of view I will use references, word cite, and research articles. There are two different perceptions of the book I am referring to. First, “challenged books” referred to as “a book that has, for whatever reason,…

The article that ends the banned books debate. Does one parent have authority over what your child can read? Books help teach students and very often those same books are one's being banned.

"A Wrinkle In Time" Do you know of any banned, or challenged books. I know of one that is called “ A Wrinkle In Time”. This book has been challenged much more than most books have been. The author of this book is Madeleine L’engle. My opinion of the banning of this book is that the book should not be banned. The reasons that many people challenged this book are for religion, the use of time travel accused of being a form of witchcraft, and last of all because of the use of profanity. The…

Book Banning “I am very real…I am angered sickened and saddened by you who have damaged my reputation in the eyes of children and the world” said Kurt Vonnegut the famous author of the Slaughterhouse series. Banning books may seem like a good idea, no sensitive material to reach children, but it stops them from learning. It also hurts people when they are banned, it hurts authors, editors, democracy, and the children society is trying so hard to shield. Book banning hurts authors and editors…

Banned Books No More German goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg invented a highly successful printing press that the Church took advantage of to spread their beliefs in 1454 (Special Collections). The exact number of books that have been printed since then is unknown; however, Leonid Taycher, a Google software engineer, has stated on the blog “Google Books Search” that there are about 146 million “printed and bound” books. Like people, not all books are the same and each one has a different message…

ironic because a book changed my life. That a book I chose out of the millions of books was destined to be the one that would change my life. You might think it's an exaggeration of me saying that this book changed my life-well it's not. This book changed my perspective on life. A task that had seemed impossible. A book did. This book was "How it All got started" by Ramses M. It details the life of hip-hop icons and all the stumbling blocks they had to overcome. The way the book was written it…

Banned Books Have you ever heard of a banned or challenged book? If so, you would know there are a lot of them. There are also a lot of opinions as to whether books should be banned or not. Some books are understandable but sometimes I think this is taken a little overboard. By examining the difference between a banned or challenged book, the most common reasons a book is banned or challenged, and why “Night” was banned or challenged, it is clear that the message from the book outweighs the…

Are Banned Books good or bad? Mark Twain once said, “Good friends, good books, and a sleepy coincidence is the ideal of life.” Books help people escape the harshness of life. If that’s what they really desire. Or, books can bring people together. They spark creativity, and ideas. You know why they made book clubs? So that we can discuss what books represent and what their thoughts about how the book made them feel on the inside. Books have meaning, but some of these meanings aren’t meant to be…

Let’s start with Hans Hubermann. Hans is a tall man with silver eyes, and he smelled like cigarettes and paint. He was altruistic towards Liesel and to everybody else since the very beginning of the book. He showed that he is trustworthy when he promised Liesel not to tell Rosa about the book she took. He said on page one hundred twenty-seven, “Of course not, Liesel. You are safe.” (Zusak 127) He assured her that her secret is safe with him. He also proved that he has a good sense of humour when…
