are banned.Some of the reasons may include profanity, racism, sexual content, etc. It is obvious that a book like Fifty Shades of Grey is not allowed in school, but there are parents out there who will ban books such as The Great Gatsby, Bridge to Terabithia. These kinds of books could lead the children to do horrific acts based on learning from these books. However, it could be good to have these horrific content to educate children about the various negative things that occur in this world. These

Instinctively, I hold my breath. The pungent fragrance of roasted coffee beans and the shrill sound of steam whistles from the espresso machines force my senses into overload. Before me are mounds of freshly-baked goodies and colossal stacks of books piled on bookshelves as high as the ceiling. Pressing my nose against the glass cover, I don’t budge until the ginormous chocolate-chip cookie is within my possession. With one hand holding my cookie, I collect as many books as my chubby arms can hold

At the time, I had known Jedd 5 years. He was my best friend. Perhaps it was strange but I considered him more of a brother to me than my actual sibling. We had a form of familiarity that you only see in movies. A real “Bridge to Terabithia” type of bond, filled with imaginary fairies and dreams of becoming dolphin trainers. He had bleach blonde hair and clear green eyes that reminded me of the Pacific Ocean. He was also side-splittingly funny, in a “ third grade” sort of way. Naturally, I adored

Banning books is a practice that has been used all throughout history. It affects many people such as authors, religious groups, students, and other citizens. When books are banned, it limits the amount a person can read or learn about a certain topic. Banning books is a key component in the novel, Fahrenheit 451, as well as in society throughout history. The Banning of books has affected the world greatly. People have been banning books since they first started being written and are still getting

character trope which plagues us across media, in television (e.g. the eponymous Mother in How I Met Your Mother), in film (Ramona Flowers in Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s) , in literature (Leslie in Bridge to Terabithia), and even in music (The Whole of the Moon by The Waterboys and Ruby Tuesday by The Rolling Stones). This trope deserves to be wiped out, mostly because it’s heavily misogynist, but also because it is, frankly, annoying. By definition, the Manic

Sexual orientation Leslie Burke brings contemporary thoughts into Jesse Aarons' life and in reverse group in provincial Virginia. Leslie originates from a rural upper working class with liberal thoughts regarding sex parts, for example. The young ladies at the provincial school wear their Sunday best dresses, while Leslie resembles a kid with short hair and pants. She is speedier than all the young men at running and is the sharpest, most creative understudy in class. Her folks raised her to be

My class had a fantastic book selection for the English curriculum. During the ninety minutes spent dedicated to either The BFG, Bridge to Terabithia, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, or the Phantom Tollbooth, and I felt comfortable while my teacher read a chapter or two to us everyday. To this day I have the books sitting on my shabby bookshelf. I haven’t opened them in a long time, but I refuse

It was a fresh new school year. I was starting the fourth grade and I had officially become the upperclass man of elementary school. I loved school and couldn’t wait for what was in store. I brought home my yearly blue and silver Pawnee Panthers folder full of papers and forms to be signed by my parents. Inside this famous folder contained the infamous bright orange chat-n-chew form that normally found its way to the trash. This year though, for some odd reason, it stuck out to my mom and she signed

their homework, but not with my parents. They only let us go outside or read during our free time. When reading has always allowed an escape from the real world, it becomes hard to imagine a life without it. I lost myself in the worlds of Narnia and Terabithia every night. The places I visited and the people I met created a kind of alternate reality. When the struggles of reality got to me, instead
