Analysis On Banning Of Children's And Tango Makes Three

So, now that I’ve listed some of the reasons that the book was banned/challenged, you can choose wither you think it should be banned/challenged or not. Me personally, I don’t think the book should be banned/challenged. I think the book itself out weights the reason it’s banned/challenged. Every book is going to have some reasons/things we don’t approve of, but that doesn’t mean we should base our feelings of the book off just them few things/reasons we don’t approve or agree of and everything else. That’s not fair to the author or others

Some parents want this book banned because they are afraid that the book could influence bullies against African American children in today’s society. However, in any history book or historical fiction about the pre-Civil War times in the United States, the same facts or even worse are shown.

First, the author argues, “When engaging in critical literacy, readers question reality and entertain multiple perspectives about particular topics, attitudes, and behaviors” (Graff). Challenged and banned books are beneficial to readers. These banned books help students evaluate more difficult pieces of literature, which could be used in the future. Jennifer Graff states, “...Book censorship helps us think critically about the power of the written word as well as the relationships between individuals, texts, and contexts, to paraphrase Lawrence Sipe (1999)” (Graff). Banned and challenged books allow readers to see the truth--from the past, future, or present--written by the author. Readers can apply these ideas to real-life situations successfully. In the article, On Reading and Sharing Banned Books, the topic of “...heightened sensitivity about what and how we say things,” and needing, “ongoing conversations about how literature can be part of our lives without undue stress and controversy” is exposed (Graff). Books are written for many reasons, to inform persuade, entertain, and relax; however, with books censorship, finding relaxing or entertaining books is extremely difficult.

The main reason was because the book mentioned discussions of being drunk, smoking cigarettes, profanity, and using God’s name in vain. Criticizer Diana Verm stated "The book had a bunch of very bad language in it.

(yourhoustonnews.com Kassia Meck) His only reason for wanting it to be banned is because he finds it “too offensive.” I find it nefarious that a book can be banned just because it doesn’t fit someone’s ideal opinion. The ALA states “The ALA promotes the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one's opinions even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular” (ALA mission statement) This just goes to show that what you believe, shouldn’t have an impact on others. I don’t believe a book should be banned from a school district for those

The first reason why this book was banned was the author’s use of offensive language. In the story, Rex Wall, who is Jeannette’s father, is the one who frequently says a lot of offensive languages.

Banned books are a topic of controversy, especially Judy Blume’s Tiger Eyes. Through this novel we follow the journey of Davey Wexler, who tries to pick up the pieces and overcome her father's sudden and tragic death. Adam, her father, was killed in an armed robbery, and though the Wexler’s attempted to handle their grief independently, they were forced to live with their Aunt Bitsy and Uncle Walter. A book can be banned for a number of reasons, but overall the main cause is based off of opinions of what someone defines as controversial or explicit. But that isn’t very logical because we all have different standpoints and are all equally valid; so why should one opinion, or group of peoples deter you from

that’s offended them, including the person who wrote this and the people hearing this today. Just because something could be misconstrued as offensive doesn’t mean that it should be eschewed, this is the same case with books. Books shouldn’t be banned solely because they are perceived as offensive.

Anthropomorphism is a healthy way for children to be introduced to difficult plots and emotional characteristics that real human beings encounter. Although some interpretations of anthropomorphic animal use in books are negative because the fear that animals in reality do not have human characteristics, and thus confuse the child reader.

Many books have been questioned and challenged. Even as far as to banning them. But what exactly is a banned book and why are they banned? A banned book is a book that has been censored by an authority, a government body, a library, or a even school system. A book that has been banned is actually removed from a library or school system. The actual contextual reasons as to banning them is use of explicit violence, gore, sexuality, explicit language, religion, or dark times in history. On the non-contextual side of the reason why they are banned books are usually because with the best intentions to protect people, frequently children, from difficult philosophies and information. Teachers, or even more common adults, often censor books from

The boys go through the same kind of situations teenagers endure nowadays, and their reactions are as expected. Their internal journey runs parallel to their emotional growth, as well as their language changes at the same time as they mature. The events narrated are true to life. Sexual identity is not longer a taboo, and teenagers are more susceptible than any other age group to challenges and doubts about it. The boys' journey into adulthood is entertaining, sweet, and sometimes emotional. Young readers will easily identify with the theme of the story: family life, friendship, love, and quest for self-identity. The author's style is fresh, simple, and straightforward. There are many pages of pure dialogue that contrast with others filled with narrative, which produces a nice balance the reader will surely appreciate.
