Lord of the Flies was a book that was banned, and I don’t t think that books should be banned. Some book though should at most be restricted to certain ages.

Having a age limit could be a solution.

I disagree most kids are on different reading levels at different ages so how could we judge what’s right or wrong for the age group.

Huckleberry Finn is banned that’s the only familiar on i remember... I think books should be van if they violated a lot of boundaries but if they have a good storyline I think they shouldn’t bann them

Or if they have useful tools that can help with daily lives tasks then they shouldn’t ban them.

The lorax was banned at one point, and I've read that before. Books shouldn't be banned because if they were, we would be cutting off a way to express oneself.

Some banned books that come to my mind are the Harry Potter series. I think that they got banned because they said it was just teaching people about witchcraft. I think my brother told me that they got banned or something like that.

The thing about fiction books is the fact that they are fake. I don’t understand why they would ban fictional books, or any books in general.

Some of the books I saw were banned or challenged are Harry Potter, the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and Bridge to Terabithia. I dont think books should be banned for many reasons. One is books are a way for authors to express themselves and banning them is taking away the first amendment for them. The books also teach good lessons that can help us learn from them and taking them away is less lessons that can be learned in a fun way.

Anne Frank is a book that has been banned. I do not think it should be banned. It should not be banned because it teaches us about the Holocaust, and makes us aware of what happened during the Holocaust and helps a reader understand how important the Holocaust is to our society today.

Some of the books they are banned were Harry Potter, Ann Frank, Lord of the flies. Books should not be banned. Without books there is no way to express a way of life that is not verbal. Along with Passing the message on from generation to generation.

13 Reasons Why, The bridge to teribithia, and captain underpants. I don’t think they should be banned, because people will deal with fowl language, scenes anyways and they also provide information that can be used in life.

Some books that I know have been banned are captain underpants, bridge to terabithia, and huckleberry finn. I think books should not be banned, because people face whatever mite offend them in a book in real life at least once in a lifetime.

I agree. Even thought people may not want to know about what may have happened in the past, it is still something that everyone should be aware of

13 Reasons Why is a banned book because in the story the main character Hannah Baker commits suicide. The whole point of the novel was to raise awareness about bullying and how it affects a person. Books should not be banned because banning books is opinion based and we all have different opinions.

Some books that were banned are The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Huckleberry Finn, and Why the Cage Bird Sings. No I don’t think books should be banned. People should be able to express them selves in a books. And we should be able to read and learn from them.

Some books I remember being banned or challenged is How to Kill A Mockingbird, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Harry Potter. I don’t think books should be banned because you miss out on the valuable lessons within the book. They also shouldn’t be banned because people are supposed to have freedom of the press.

Some banned books are The Diary of Anne Frank, Bridge to Terabithia, and The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. I feel that books should not be banned because they can tell us stories of things that may not have been taught to us or show us situations that could happen in real life.

Some banned books are I know why the Caged Book Sings, Huckleberry Finn, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I don't think books should be banned. Banning books is against the First Amendment. Also I believe people should be free to express their ideas.
