Have You Read Any Banned or Controversial Books?

Have you read a banned or controversial book? I have read many of these. You might be surprised about these books today. Nowadays, a lot of teachers agree with banning certain books, but others agree with reading EVERYTHING. In a lot of books and stories, they always take out the good stuff such as the rising action, the climax, and the falling action.

You're probably wondering," What does it mean by banned or controversial books?" It means that these books are not in schools or libraries. One of the banned books that I read is The Hunger Games(trilogy).This book is about 12 districts that choose 2 people, a boy and a girl to fight to the death in a battle royale known as the Hunger Games. I just don't understand why this book is banned!! To me, it has a good meaning and story to it. A lot of teachers say that this book has too much violence. For certain ages, this book is OK. But for people that are immature, don't read it. Long story short: I recommend this book!

Another book that I read is The Diary of Ann Frank. This book is about a young girl who is Jewish and had to go into hiding during the Second World War to escape the Nazis. This book is usually read in middle and high schools due to its content. For me, this book has no graphic or other inappropriate content. Teachers rarely read this book because of the way Ann describes what is going on while in hiding. This is my Book Recommendation 2.

In conclusion, some books just don't deserve to be banned or controversial.
