Dear Members of the Make Believe ISD School Board, You have no right to ban the book Night by Elie Wisel. In the article I Remember Night by Clemantine Wamariya, she writes about how Night by Elie Wisel spoke to her as a person who has also gone through genocide and sparked her start as an activist. If you choose to ban the book Night by Elie Wisel you are going against our first amendment. The first amendment states that we the people have “Freedom of religion, speech, press, petition, and assembly.” By denying us as students the right to read Night by Elie Wisel you are infringing on our right to speech and press. The entire reasoning for us, people of the united states of america, to have in print that we can say our mind and write whatever we desire is because of the control of the British, who killed anyone who said something that they didn’t agree with. Clemantine Wamariya states in the text that “when what I call ‘noise’ others called ‘genocide’” She had not known there was a word for what she had gone through in Rwanda nor did she know that others 50 years before had expirenced the same thing. If she had not read the book Night she might not have known about the holocaust or …show more content…

Night is too graphic for middle school students, you might say. But you are missing that it is supposed to be graphic, it's supposed to be sad and depressing, it's supposed to make you feel disgusted because it's about the Holocaust and a survivor's story. The holocaust was a loathsome event that affected millions upon millions of people and it should not be forgotten. CLemantine Wamarias people knew the genocide that they faced not a “genocide” but as “noice” because they were not informed about what the holocaust was and what genocide is. If we want our society to progress and grow and become better we must learn from our past and do anything in our power to prevent history from

I think Night should stay on Mrs. Avila’s book report list because this is a book that more students need to read because Elie Wiesel and other holocaust survivor’s stories should be remembered so history won’t repeat itself. I didn’t like that Night left me with many questions, like did Eliezer ever completely restore his faith in God, what happened to his leg after undergoing an operation, why wasn’t his sisters and mother mentioned ever again, I also wanted to know if Eliezer ever has a bright light in the future. If you believe the world is all sunshine’s and rainbows, your whole view on life is about to change. Night opened my eyes, the world is not perfect. There is evil people in this world.

Ironically, Fahrenheit 451 is one of the most banned books in American schools. The book was seen as evil for ideas like opposing the suppression of freedom by parties that presumed they had all the answers. Books such as Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Brave New World, The Giver, and The Hunger Games have been banned in schools, and they all explore the themes of suppressing freedom, information, and intellectual thinking. Prohibiting these books will only lead less thought; it will lead to the ultimate demise of society. If we do not learn from them, we will become them.

Some believe that Night should restrict its availability because of the large amount of violence and death; however, disallowing the restriction of these topics in our high school gives the reader a chance to discover the history behind the Holocaust and provides the reader a chance to read the book through a different point of view.

The next reason students should read Night is that it tells about the history of the Nazi concentration camps in World War II and its effect on the Jewish people. When many people think of the Holocaust, they also think of the yellow stars that the Nazis required the Jews to wear. This is demonstrated when Elie 's father says, "The yellow star? So what? It 's not lethal" (Wiesel 11).

Every child deserves a proper education. Banned books are depriving students of a well rounded, culturally aware, literary education because of the culture that is discarded, the history that is being withheld, and the education that young people could get through these banned books. The point of history is to learn from it and learn from others mistakes, but how can we do that if we are not allowed to learn it. As teachers shouldn’t you be teaching us how to make judgment calls like understanding that Mark Twain was a racist, but a man of his time and that doesn’t change him being an amazing writer. We cannot learn things such as that if we cannot even read most of Mark Twain’s books.

At one point in time, over 7,220 books have been challenged to be banned. Though these books have been removed for the safety of children, not all books should be banned for many reasons.
