Books

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…

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…

Banned books are books that have been banned for certain reasons that may argue against a certain group of people’s beliefs. Books around the world should not be banned because you can learn from what the book tells you. I read My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult, which was a very informative book that gave me a lot of information that I could hold on to. My banned book should not be banned because I learned a lot and it was a great story about a cancer patient and her family. There are multiple…

Imagine a world where books are banned and restricted from schools just because someone gets offended about the content in the books. The sad truth is that this is a real problem in America today. Some school boards are banning the book To Kill a Mockingbird for the “offensive language” that it uses. The reason that books like this should not have a moratorium placed on them, is because these books are just showing a part of history not trying to offend anyone with a few words. The first…

“Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight” (Chbosky 1). A banned book is a book that has been taken off the shelves of a library, bookstore, or school (Library of Congress 1). When a book is banned, the rights of the first amendment are completely taken away. The right to choose what to read, and when, is completely disregarded. It’s the people’s freedom to read whatever they please. The freedom to…

As a student, I am better at reading rather than a writing, or listening. I am more interested in fantasy books due the adventurous vibes it gives you while reading. The first fantasy book I read was, Eragon, written by, Christopher Paolini. This book was absolutely phenomenal just like the rest of fantasy related books. This is because not only the character development was great, but the story actually gives you enough detail to visualize the background sequence of the tale. I rejoice in…

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…
