Should books be Banned

 

 

             Throughout the world there are people reading books that increase their vast
expanse of knowledge. These books can teach readers about the meaning of life,
and what it means to live but; as each day passes these wonderful books filled with
pages of liquid gold are being banned. Each book has a story and, that story has a
lesson.

 

            The Story Flight which is a Book on the verge of being banned teaches readers how to appreciate life and treat each obstacle as a chance to gain knowledge For example as the main character Zits inhabits the body of Gus he learns what it means to care for. Others. As Gus and his platoon of soldiers rode into the celebrating Indian camp all of his intention of determination to take revenge was lost. The bodies of the Indians played across the dirt covered land creating a pool of blood. With one Indian left Gus ran. He grabbed the Indian boy and ran with all his might. His only intention was to do whatever he could to protect the boy. To have courage and believe in your self is one of many human goals. If Gus wasn’t there what would become of the boy?

 

            What is the purpose of banning books? Is it to protect people? Because Each book has something to teach people. Each book contains information that can help readers in life. Within the book Divergent written by Veronica Roth the main character Tris’s goal is to protect those in need. Even if at the cost of her life her goal was to perform at the best of her ability supporting what she believed it. There’s a story out there for everyone. Each story is an open book containing many obstacles. but its up to us to overcome them.

 

            Even though there are some books contain material that are too intense for certain readers each book is an opportunity for readers to learn a lesson. There is knowledge in everything and it’s up to us whether or not we want it. The hunger games which is a book written by Suzanne Collins is on the prospect of being banned. Some people say there’s too much killing and some people say there’s too much suspense. But each book has a moral. Like how the moral of the book is to believe in yourself. As catnip reaches the main character Catniss reaches the end of her story all she thinks about is getting home. Throughout the games all she thinks about is home; to never give up.

 

            There are tons and tons of books out there. Each book better than the rest. Their purpose to teach readers about the benefits of life. Each book has a place in this world. And those books have someone to read them. What is the purpose of banning books? Everything is created for reason.
