Banning Books
When I first heard about many books being banned from schools, I was not thinking exactly what happened. I was thinking maybe violent books got banned from elementary schools or very sexual books got banned from junior high schools. I was completely wrong about what kind of books are banned. I took special interest in the children's books that are banned because I wanted to know what people really had against books for children. A few books that caught my eye was The Lorax, James and the Giant Peach and the famous Harry Potter. I was really taken back by The Lorax being banned. The Lorax is such a happy child book and even as a college student I enjoy The Lorax movie. The famous Harry Potter is banned? Wow, now that is schocking. I know so many people that are obsessed with Harry Potter and I personally do not see anything wrong with it. Witchcraft and Wizardly was a couple of the reasons it was banned. If they are really going to ban these books then they should ban Twilight and The Hunger Games.
