The parent might have thought the book was bad but others did not so it just stayed at challenged. While banned books is when the attempt is followed up. This is the removal of the book. So when whoever tried to ban the book got others to agree with them and the banning fell-through. (About Banned and Challenged Books.)
No books should ever be banned because for each book that is banned, there possibly could be one life lesson that will not be learned by the next generation. Censorship of books in schools and libraries is wrong for it limits what students can potentially learn. Books such as To Kill a Mocking Bird, Of Mice and Men, and others teach valuable life lessons, which is why they are considered classics. Books such as these are being banned for they have questionable material. In the same book introduction as the opening quote, Judy Blume wrote, “Those who were most active in trying to ban books cam from the ‘religious right’ but the impulse to censor spread like a contagious disease.
One of the most important reasons to why library censorship is unacceptable is that it limits our information resources. In other words, we will not have the right to receive and source our assignments with quotes and information from banned books, nor will we have the right to read certain books from some of our favorite authors. There are many books that are banned from people or more likely students under the age of 17 (Koss 29). One of these books is
Dear Editor: Censorship in public libraries is inconsiderable, unreasonable, and absurd. It must be eliminated from the minds of our town council. If a book is not acceptable for patrons under eighteen, I feel either the patron’s parents or the patron himself should decide so. The town council and the public library have no idea whether a patron is responsible enough to read a book with possible adult themes. Censorship is also ridiculous because most classic novels involve questionable language, or somewhat violent material.
He made his mind up that it was a bad book. He realized to that quality of composing the books of Mr. Leinster. First of all, he noticed that Mr. Leinster used the word “Zestful” too frequency. He also considered that “Zestful” is not an appropriated word to use in a novel or a story. Therefore, he won’t do that in his writing because it may decrease the reader’s attention.
Random drug tests should not be allowed in schools because they are a violation of our privacy, it is against the fourth amendment, they do not deter use, and the drug tests are not always accurate. What if you didn’t ever do a drug and you received a positive on your drug test? You would be taken out of any extracurricular activities that you were in because they have a no drug policy. Drug test are not 100% positive which means there are always going to be something that goes wrong. Some say that drug testing is accurate enough to be used in schools, even though some may receive false positives; the benefits still outweigh the costs.
The Negative Effects of Underage Drinking I am writing this essay because I was caught drinking under the age of alcohol consumption. I regret it deeply because I could have gotten into a lot of trouble, and it really is not worth it. I could have gotten jail time and a hefty fine if I was 18 or older and that isn’t good. Some of the negative effects of underage drinking are one, it could have ruined me chance of going to college since nobody wants a trouble maker at their school and that would’ve devastated me. Going to college is my number one priority and I could’ve lost that all in one night and it was very stupid of me.
This made them lose to Reliant in every concession and they gave up too easily due to the fact that they had not prepared.Also, they gave the power to Reliant early on in the negotiation which affected them as they were doing whatever Relaint asked of them.Another blaring flaw in their negotiation strategy was that even though they knew that the forcast figures stated by Reliant were overstated, still they didn’t do anything. In short there negotiation strategy was nothing, as they had not prepared for such an outcome so they did not have a negotiaiton strategy in such a
The worst thing you could possibly do is avoid addressing the issues you and your roommate have. You have to try and talk to your roommate and lay down the law from the beginning. This is something I in particular suck at. I hate confrontation and therefore avoid any kind of conversation with my roommate but you cannot assume that he or she knows that there even is a problem if you have not come out and said it straightforward. What may seem obvious to you may not be so to someone else.
The “Darkness” of Children's Literature Darkness, brutality, violence, disillusionment, are these the words that come to mind when the topic of children’s literature arises? There is much debate today on whether or not children’s literature is too “dark” for its intended audience. Some define “dark” as those words mentioned above while others believe that anything that doesn’t leave a child happy and smiling signifies “darkness”. As Andrew Levy (2007) stated in his article “Campaigning parents plan to burn children’s books with grisly endings”, “Children’s books that don’t have happy endings should be banned, it was claimed yesterday”. Darkness is part of our everyday lives; while every child will react differently to “dark” stories they should not be protected from the realities of life; they should be exposed and educated about those realities.
