Books by famous authors Dr.Seuss along with Roald Dahl are being looked at differently due to racial and offensive drawings and wording in their famous children's fantasy stories. Schools around the world are taking them out of the children's library due to what people discovered after looking deep into their work. Famous children's story “If I Ran The Zoo” is no longer being printed anymore because it was found offensive many years after the book was published. In many stories by Roald Dahl they are rewriting the stories because of the offensive language that is being used “fat” and “ugly” along with descriptions of black and white found offensive to many people. Even going as far as banning books that are sexual.
Also, the African American community is very territorial and protective of our history and experiences. As long as we continue to have racism and inequality in our society we will continue to have differences in our cultures and thus a need for African American Literature. Until all racism even covert is abolished we can never truly have just “American
That’s exactly what authors throughout the civil rights movement did. Without past works, America as a whole, including its literature would be hindered in development. The civil
My first book, Chicken Noodle Soup for the Teenage Soul, helped me through a hard time in my life. It contains a lot of short stories, most of which are meant to be inspirational. Not all of the stories were happy ones, but they all
In a hospital there are hundreds of rooms with hundreds of patients that need something that could mean life or death. For example, 32 of the patients in this hospital, Angel’s Grace Memorial Hospital, desperately need a necessary organ or they will die in the next week. On average 21 patients a day die if they don’t get the organ they need, that means that most or all 32 patients at Angel’s Grace are praying for someone else to die so they can keep their organ and live. However, that is what the human race has come to today. Everyone is so selfish, except me.
All the former SS officers that have had lives as upstanding citizens should be held responsible of all their actions and crimes that have been done in the past. People don 't wanna find out that the person they have been living right next to has killed and tortured entire villages. Or just the fact that they lied to come into this country and get rights that they don 't deserve in any country. Especially in such a horrific event as the Holocaust. These SS officers should be responsible for everything and everyone that they harmed.
Interviewer: First question and I’m going to go off script a little bit, I always do; I think you get better information that way. So, first off, do you remember using it, do you remember using it all back in – Interviewee: You gave me two case numbers and I remember using one.
“I think I’m going to write my novel over Thanksgiving break,” I said to my dad over the phone. He laughed. That was last year, and it’s just barely Halloween as I write this, and I have only one chapter left, 75,000 words, and 280 pages. Last year, I had fifteen chapters left, 20,000 words, and about 80 pages. I couldn’t blame him for laughing though; when most people think of an author, they think of people like Stephen King or J.K. Rowling, people who are middle aged and have been through a lot.
Just because some people disagree with some books, does not mean others should not be allowed to enjoy them. Books should not be banned because it closes doors for information that mature people should be able to read.

Books should not be banned also because some of the books are excellent for history, or learning experiences. Books should not be able to be banned because it closes the door for great lessons and deprives people of learning about the world around them.
Little Sisters Club Before kindergarten I was part of a neighborhood play group, complete with matching red baseball caps with our club name “The Little Sisters Club” embroidered across the front. We all had different family sizes, but what we all had in common was that we were the youngest of the bunch. We all looked at our siblings with admiration of their age and seeming independence, and simultaneous abhorrence for our bossy tormentors. We put up with wet willies, loogies hung over our faces, secret languages and constantly being excluded by signs that read; ‘NO GIRLS ALLOWED’.
My mother always told me “That I would never be alone, and that we were two turtles seeing the watery world together from the bottom of our shimmering little pond.” But ever since, she died and thats all gone now, and I don 't have any of that anymore, she died, and I don 't have her anymore, she died, and now I have no shoulder to cry on, n…no one to tell me it’ll all be ok, She died and now I’m all alone, completely undone, slowly sinking to the bottom of my own gloomy, desolate pond. Why is it that she is the one who passed away and yet, I’m the one in a death-like state engulfed by my own saddened, grief-stricken emotions. And yea I get that my aunties are trying to be there for me and are trying to comfort me because I 'm in mourning
Growing up Christianity had always been part of my life and there was no question about it. My family was christian and the culture that my parents grew up in was heavily religious. However, I personally never had a true connection to Christ at a young age. To me church was the place I went to answer questions in Sunday School and win prizes for it, and that was how I saw it for a long time. It was hard for me to see it has more than that and from the outside I may have looked like the kid had a true connection with Christ by the way I talked in front of the church when my class presented, or the fact that I was able to answer most if not all the questions correctly.
Like I said writing was hard for me. I think the reason being that I was able to read well so I didn 't have much to write about other than the stuff I heard. Even then, If I did write was wasn 't going to be able to read it. Now that I could do both better my doors have open
For my Personal Developmental Autobiography, I choose to talk about my journey through the adolescence developmental stage. The Adolescence Developmental Stage is a transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to legal adulthood. During this stage so many things happen. Puberty has already happened or is about to happen. Being interested in the opposite sex and going on dates happen.
I am a middle child, yet I am not the yelling, screaming, dramatic kid who strives to get others’ attention. I am probably the only middle child in the world who doesn’t hunger for the spotlight to shine on them as they act in idiotic ways to gain scraps of validation. I remember the very day that I became a middle child. Up to my sixth year I lived as the youngest child, bathing in the attention of my father.
