Banned Books

In the article on ABC News it has a list of banned books. I don't believe that all of the books listed should be on there. Some of these books are classics and have been around for a while. parents of some students have read these books.

One example the book 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was banned because of the excessive use of the N word but it was the way that they spoke at the time that the story took place. I know that the word is bad but it is part of the of the character's personality. These things give us insight on how their character is. Things like this have happened to multiple authors and books. Another example is the book The Hunger Games it made the list of banned books because of the graphic content. This it does in fact have because of the fight to the death, but I believe that it teaches readers how far people will go to survive. A third example is the book Harry Potter because it was believed to have been promoting witchcraft. I have read a couple of the books in that series and I would disagree with that. These are just three examples of the long list of books that have been banned.
