Censorship and Banned Books How would you feel if someone restricted your favorite book? All over the world, every day, a book gets challenged.

A person’s decision can impact others by changing their thoughts about certain things by banning them. I agree with Ron Charles when he is annoyed by people not acting mature over banned books. “I’m afraid…

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…

Cujo is definitely the kind of book I would think would get…

It seems that as a librarian, I have participated in a somewhat watered down version of bibliotherapy. I had never heard the term before reading the articles. I am 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.
