Decapitation Exageration


You may be thinking,''Harry Potter has a book series rival?''. Well no, after reading this article about books that have been banned and challenged,or been taking under consideration into banning, from libraries and schools, I have come to a disagreement. On my perspective books are meant to make the writer and reader think. For example, Edgar Allen Poe's stories have dark and unique twisted ways to keep the reader on the edge of their seats. But other people, like Englishanswerman's mom, don't like the message it gives out to students. ''The Tell-Tale Heart,'' is basically about a murderer who kills an old man He loves due to the fact that the old man supposedly has an ugly looking eye. Now, Edgar does a great job on giving the view point of the narrator, but then again, some people think its inappropriate for kids to read because its violent. If the readers are mature enough they can read this story but as appose to the ''sensitive ones,'' they shouldn't even read the title.


People who think some books are inappropriate are over-exaggerating the content in the book, for example the children's book about two penguins watching their eggs hatch. These ''sensitive people,'' think that it exposes bad content to the reader, but think for a second, its a children's book meant for children. Technically most books are meant for the expansion of the human knowledge on literature. But some people take the stories and basically think wrong, which I think is ridiculous.
