not be allowed to such inappropriate content. People make arguments about these attempts of removing the book from school shelves, but people also support that the books must be removed. By examining the violence, depression, and anti-ethnic, it’s clear that we should ban The Mockingjay. The Mockingjay is full of violence and the gullible minds of the youth may be persuaded from the books violent content. The main character Katniss plans and succeeds in murdering the president Mr. Snow. The…
removed from school shelves. Kids have no say in this so they have to attempt to persuade an adult to argue on their side of the argument. By examining the violence, depression, and anti-ethnic, it’s clear that The Mockingjay should be banned. This book has a lot of violent content. Katniss plans and succeeds at murdering President Snow. Katniss shoots down planes with explosive arrows. The capitol destroys a building full of sick and injured people because Katniss is there. President Snow…
though? If you have, then you will see the typical stereotypes that are used in almost every single one of them. As the years go on though we are beginning to see different types of children’s books with different set-ups that give more equality to not only genders but to different races. I chose to use three books that I read over and over again as a little girl which are: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and also Anastasia. In Sleeping Beauty, Aurora, the princess is put under a spell and is…
I have read or started to read eight books during my first semester. Frankenstein was my favorite book because of its plot, and the general idea of the story. Frankenstein was filled with an inspiring pursuit of knowledge. I have only read about one-third of A Thousand Splendid Suns, and plan to finish it during my second semester. Perhaps it will surpass The Great Gatsby and Copper Sun on my list of favorites this year. I have only read two chapters of the program, however, I ranked it two…
not going to read books anymore in metaphorically. Importance of books has been mentioned since people had invented writing skill. Do books deserve to be saved? If so, why do we need to save books? Answer always going to be ‘yes, because books are sources where we can get knowledge from.’ There is similar story with this book in china called Burning of books and burying of scholars. After the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi unified China in 221 BC; he banned reading books and burned it…
went on to develop his press in the Holy Roman Empire. He saw the printing press as a financial opportunity, due to the high cost of books at the time. Prior to his groundbreaking invention, knowledge was very much limited to the royalty or the religious order because attaining access to any sort of literature was a painstaking task. In order to have a copy of a book, including the bible, each word had to be copied into a second version which led to extreme inefficiency and transcription errors…
Thank you so much for the classroom set of scissors and the concept story books. My multiple handicap and fourth grade students have greatly enjoyed the books. My multiple handicapped classes favorite has been "What a Wonderful World." Though it is music class I work with these students on reading skills through songs. Two of my students are in speech classes, as well. This song has helped them practice pronouncing their T's. They are working with triplet rhythms as well with this story.…
Banned Books The Story Untold: Cujo Final Copy Have you ever read a banned book? The thing is, most people don’t know if a book is banned or not. The book I strongly suggest for adults and most teenagers is Cujo. This book is filled with gore and adultery from top to bottom. Cujo has been banned in multiple city and state schools all over the United States. Like I said earlier Cujo was banned for adultery, gore and adult language. Cujo is definitely the kind of book I would think would get…
good book… oh no, not that one. All over the world, books of all varieties are being banned. The ban of books should never happen, because it stops the world from having a variety of material to learn from. Books should not be banned based on a group's beliefs, the ban denies an author freedom of speech, and the laws which prove whether a book is obscene or not are very unclear. Books should not be banned based on a single person or group's religious, moral, or political beliefs. Many books…
always in awe when teachers come to me and ask for books that deal with social topics for use in their classrooms. It seems a book is their first “go to” when addressing difficult issues. I quickly learned to search for books that dealt with topics that would help children cope with the challenges and difficulties of life to add to our collection. I believe it is our job to guide teachers, counselors and other school personnel in identifying books that will help students in certain situations.…
