I've read some of the books on the list of banned books and I don't think there's anything wrong with them to make them be banned. Most middle school students are mature enough to read all of the books on the banned books list and, the ones that aren't should know they aren't mature and not read those books.

I don't think that schools should ban books. Students should be able to read all kinds of books. Some books can teach us lessons like Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson and Cut, by Patricia McCormick. Those books say that when you're having problems with yourself or someone else you should tell somebody about it because maybe they can help. Other books like the Junie B. Jones series by Barbara Park, the Anastasia series by Lois Lowry
and, the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor are just about girls' lives. These are some of the books I've read on the banned book list.

Books shouldn't be banned, people should just know what they're mature enough to read and what not to read. Banned book week shouldn't even exist because I bet the students that arent allowed to read those books would like to read at least some of them.

I don't think books should be banned from schools and public libraries unless it's an inappropriate book. All books bring knowledge but some there is too much knowledge. I think that books shouldn't be banned because people need as much knowledge they can get and people should know that is just a book and don't let it influence you too much.

I think books shouldn't be banned from public libraries and schools. Books are very useful so everyone. Every time you read a book you learn something new. People who are ignorant about books are really missing out. Books really helpful because no matter what you learn something.

Yes I can see why people would want to ban certain books because of what knowledge they hold. Well maybe so people would want to read such things. Kids should just know that a there age there are certain things they should read and certain things they shouldn't.

Books shouldn't be banned people should just be smart enough not to read certain thing and take thing in the wrong way. Everyone should know not to take everything in a book serious and let it affect their lives.

The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton

I think that this book is a really good book. It is a good book, and a good lesion. Basically, there are too gangs that hate each another, because they look different.

At first the Greasers thought that they had it hard, but no the other gang (The socs) had it hard. The Greasers had it all easy. They can run away all they wont from there problems, but the socs can't they have it bad real bad. 

READ AND FIND it all OUT.

Books should get banned from schools

By Isai

 

I think that no books should be banned because books are good. When some people don't like book and they wanted banned from schools maybe is because they don't like it. Another reason why they don't like that book might be because of their reason why they don't like it might be religion.

I don't think that books should be banned from schools or libraries unless they are really bad like number 78 on the list probably is. I don't think that books should be banned from school or libraries because there are some people that like them and that wanna read them. People shouldn't ban books just because they don't like them. I have only read one series of books off the list. It was the Dark materials books I read two out of the series. They were pretty good and they should not be banned.

BANNED BOOKS

by Lupita Orozco

This week is "Banned Book Week" and the purpose of it is to try to get books banned from county libraries and school libraries. There is a list of one hundred books that have been banned from school and libraries. I don't agree with all the books on the banned list because I have read a couple of them. I don't agree that those books be banned because when I read them I didn't think that they were all that bad. For example "Speak" which I did read not all that long ago and it was a really good book. In Katherine Schulten's blog she wrote that certain people thought Laurie Halse Andersons book "Speak" was supposedly "softly pornographic". I do not agree with that at all, that book was very appropriate.

In our English class we read an expert of the book "I know why the caged bird sings" by Maya Angelou. I'm not sure why this book is banned but I think that it shouldn't because from what we read it was a good book. I thought it was nice how Mrs. Flowers took time to pay attention to Marguerite. It's weird how it is banned in some school and it is in our English test books. That just goes to show how differently all people think about what is appropriate and what isn't. I think that people should give everyone the option to read everything.

Banned book week?

By Angela

I never know that there was a banned book week until my teacher told me. Band book week in my opinion is not necessary. Kids know what they can handle to read and what they can't. For example when kids are in first and second grade are they going to get attracted to a thick chapter book or are they going to get attracted to picture books. I remember when I was in that grade level I would always go see the picture book about princesses or animals. Then as I got older I got bored of those picture book and started looking at chapter book about ice skating and stuff like that. From there I just started reading more and more chapter books.

I looked through the band book week list and I read a couple of those book and I liked then a lot. A lot of the books in that list looked interesting I asked my teacher if he had any of them, which he did. One of the books on my list was The Lovely Bones which my teacher had and is letting my borrow it. So far it is a really good book and I am looking forwarding to reading other books from the banded book week list.

I also think that there is no need for the band book week because kids know what they should read and what they shouldn't. My parents don't really care what I read as long as I read. My mom doesn't really enjoy reading and my dad reads sometimes, he reads stories about the future and space. When I was younger he used to tell me about the books that he read and I would be interested. Well that's my opinion about banned book week.
