but that just like movies parental guidance is suggested so it makes sense that it should be banned but not for someone older who wouldn’t get distracted from the overall message. Child molestation is another reason this book was banned. Jeannette Walls talks about living with different relatives of the family and one of them attempting to do stuff with her and another time trying to do stuff with her little brother. It is made clear in the book that this wasn’t acceptable behavior on the adults part so I understand and agree that it isn’t for those younger than the age of sixteen.

Why Should The Book Night Not Be Banned

It isn't just a good book but provides a lot of information and the best part is that it is from the author's perspective and personal experience. The book talks about what the author had to go through with his father when he was placed in the concentration camp. It provides historical information about what the jews had to go through and how they were treated. I also believe that books like this don't just entertain or inform us but give us a better perspective of the world and our place in it . Banning it will not just restrict the book from the parents' child but restrict it from other kids who would want to read it

The Witch By Roald Dahl Essay

845 Words | 4 Pages

One reason that I fell it should not be censored is because the book is fantasy. Since the book is fantasy most of the characters are fake, which means that the witches in the story, that are perceived as women, are not even real. Another reason that I feel the book should not be censored is, it should be up to the parents of the child to decide if their child is mature enough to read the book. Just because some people don’t think that the book is a bad influence on kids, doesn’t mean that it will be influential to others. Also, the intention of the book is the entertain and not influence.
