The first and obvious reason is that the book takes place in a pro-communist setting. The book may have been trying to prove a point, but it was still enough to offend many. The book is also sexually explicit, so it is easy to see why parents may want to “protect” their children from the idea of sex and that it should not be thought of in the way George Orwell writes about it. The most interesting reason for the ban of 1984 was the fact that it reminded people of what is like in the United States today. It has made people uncomfortable to think that what is being described in this chilling novel reminds them of what they see outside their own windows, with the fact that humans are constantly on watch and there is practically no way to keep anything hidden.
This book contains a strong sense of morality and the characters are well rounded characters that aren’t easy to understand. The harder they are, the more we can learn about the true nature of life (Kelly 166). Grant Wiggins is a difficult character to understand because he couldn’t decide what he wanted to do. You didn’t find out what he truly felt until the end of the book. He was locked into almost the same situation Jefferson was in.
The Lottery Plot- The conflict in this story is a simple one, do you follow traditions laid before you even if you know them to be wrong. The story is told in a forthcoming manner which creates foreshadowing to the death of Tessie, and how it will happen. While reading, the beginning of the story you simply overlook many foreshadowing items because you don’t really think twice about it. Your point of view on the story and your attention to detail do not come into the story until you’ve read the story a second time because in all honesty you are kind of shocked at what you just read. The climax in the story is when Tessie begs for her life and no one says anything to stand up for her, instead they all go grab a rock to stone her to death.
Faber’s Knowledge Books are something everyone takes advantage of, nobody knows how important they are until they’re gone. In Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 Montag goes to Faber to seek advice about the books. He finds out Faber’s beliefs in book’s purpose, quality, and the leisure of people. Faber also believes that fear of the truth in books drove people away, and now without the books there is only chaos. When Faber told Montag what the purpose of books were, he spoke, “Books are a receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget,” so without them everything would slowly be forgotten (83).
Williams has read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and where Julius Lester does not understand the novel, Williams does. He begins bye recapping the book’s long, history of censorship. “The earliest censors… believed the novel would corrupt the young” (Williams 98). In the story, Huck would spit and do rude things that were believed to be unsuitable for young readers at the time. These opinions have, however, changed.
Also it wasn’t very clear in what happened to Jeremy. This was a great ending because this book always keeps you thinking but never find out what really happens. Clearly, Lil' J's life isn’t going into the right direction. This book has some of drug content and violence. It is more suited for young adults or older people who enjoy thinking when

Free! Free!”. I did not know why she said that, but I started to think that many this story is more complicated than a woman losing her husband. Then the author started to write about the things that Mrs Mallard saw and felt, in a descriptive and joyful way. That was my clue that maybe Mrs Mallard was actually happy about her husband’s death.
She also seemed to be a proud person by nature, and her happiness came with her fulfillment. After her death, the author lets the reader into the “secrets” of the story. “She would sit with him on her knee, her arms around him and holding the page flat with her hand” This leaves the reader shocked because of the difference between the two relations; the one right before she died, and the one when he was a child. “The girl in the photograph was young and had dark, dark hair scraped severely back and tied like a knotted rope on the top of her head”. This description of the aunt when she was young probably suggests that she felt a loss for her
Is it better for people to learn from others than to learn on their own? Learning from others is more useful than learning on our own; we evaluate ourselves more accurately when consider other opinions and listen to their experiences and learn from them.While some people completely deny the existence of others since they think that individuality is more important than relying on others, however they won't evaluate themselves and they will never realize their mistakes. While, Being gregarious and learning from others, make us see our flaws we have been making for several years; literature and world history demonstrates my perception. In the novel "Brave new world",The protagonist, John the savage, grows up in a traditional native american community. While the rest of the world is ruled by a dictator, who forces everyone to behave according to a certain ideology called "Ford ship" which completely denies the existence of family, religion, philosophy and etc... John visits the society, and he becomes appalled of how technologically and inhumanely the society is.He spends his whole life telling people that only family and religion can bring a truly happy life.
