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…

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…

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…

A white scalloped shelf in the corner for as long as I can remember holds all the books I’ve ever read. From books I learned to read with to the ones my mom has tried to get me to read for years. Over the past fourteen years my taste in books has evolved from Daisy Meadows fairy stories, to young adult books, to ones with more serious and realistic topics. Ever since I read my first Dr. Seuss book aloud in class, I have loved reading. I would spend hours in my room reading then march downstairs…

to work in a library (and serve as an Uber driver for my children), I have encountered many reluctant readers, especially boys, looking for something more challenging than the Magic Tree House series. They often stipulate, “It can’t be too big of a book and it can’t be boring.” I believe Charlie Malone and the Curse of the Pharaoh's Beard might fit that description. When Charlie Malone’s older sister, Kira, discovers his history project on ancient Egypt is due tomorrow, Charlie expects her to…
