didn’t have the place downtown at that time. I used to paint in the morning at the time and I was painting in this realist style… well, they were surreal, surrealist realist you know. The children were young at the time, they had lots of ladybird books, and the quality of illustrations in some of those was very high. So for a while I was uneasy, these pieces were very much admired in a way, but I was thinking I’m becoming “an illustrator”, you know? Everything is so real, there is something more…

always have my pajamas lying in my bunk bed in my blue paint colored room. Every night before bed I would curl up next to her in bed and pick several books for her to read. As I got older, I would pick bigger, harder, and longer books to read. One of my favorite books to read was Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs. Even though I pick several enjoyable books to read my mom would always read me a Bible story at the very end. I loved to spend time at night reading with my mom. How did this have…

The banning of books can be defined as a form of censorship in which a law or decision prohibits the book from public consumption due to the book’s contents. Whether it’s banned because of political, religious, or moral reasons is all specific to the book itself. Yet, these are the most common reasons as to why a book is banned because their pages discuss these topics in an abrasive way or stray away from public opinion (Book Banning). The Grapes of Wrath, a classic American novel published in…

Bridge to Terabithia, written by Katherine Paterson, is a novel meant for elementary schoolers, but this book has been banned in schools across the country. Now for a book to be banned it needs to be controversial, and most of Katherine Paterson’s books, Bridge to Terabithia specifically, fit that criteria. Banned in the U.S.A., by Herbert N. Foerstel, contains a section about Paterson and her works. It reads that most of her works are banned not for their content, but because they are too…

When people think of books 50 years ago, they think of the old, dusty books sitting on their grandmother’s bedside tables, and they may even think it boring; the classics, like Charlotte’s Web, or Animal Farm, but there is a book written around that time that is quite the contrary to all these stereotypes. The Outsiders is a novel written about 50 years ago that really makes you read between the lines, the most important example of this being the outburst of poetry from Ponyboy when he and…

Ban on Fiction Books To the School Board, I believe that the banning of fiction books is a defective idea for the reason that countless number of people get creative ideas from these types of books. Fiction books make people want to explore outside their comfort zone, and give motivation to keep fighting for different goals . A larger number of intelligent people think fiction books are helpful, Albert Einstein supports this quote that fiction books can help you become brilliant by saying,“If…

While resting comfortably in my air-conditioned bedroom one hot summer night, my mom came into my room, sat down on my bed, and showed me this book she had begun to read. She went into detail about how moved she was from the story, and asked me if I would read it. She said that it was something that would leave me speechless. Little did I know, that she was right. “Let Me Hear Your Voice” is written by Catherine Maurice, who is also the main character in the novel. Maurice’s two children were…

Books are an essential part of life and learning. They are used worldwide and provide endless information on anything you desire to learn about. Starting the moment a child is born, parents are constantly reading bedtime stories to their kids and in elementary school they are encouraged to read countless times. However, once kids reach the young adult age things start to get a little different. Books aren’t about fairytales and superheroes like they were in elementary. They start to challenge…
