One of the reasons why I chose to write about book banning is because of the book Fahrenheit 451. It has always been one of my favorites and the concept of not being able to gain knowledge from reading amazes me. Something that I have easy access to was completely denied to everyone in that society. I believe that there are arguable reasons as to why books should be banned and why they shouldn't, which is why I wanted to do further research on this topic.

The article that was used helps give a couple reasons why books are being banned in our society today. The article from (name of writer) “Various authorities have been banning and destroying books for practically as long as books have existed. ”This can show that there has always been a distrust for books ever since they were created, because most people always want a just and equal society in which no one person knows too much or too little.

Have you ever read a banned book before? I recently read the banned book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Although the book was amazing, I can see why and also agree that Fahrenheit 451 should be censored for those not in high school. Overall, the book was cataclysmic as it contained several inappropriate and violent themes that would give people a concern to censor it.

The topic is if schools should ban books, well I kind of get why teachers and professors would want to get rid of books but think about the students you're taking away good books from them.

I ran into a book and my mom didn't want me to read it, I didn't, so basically what i'm trying to say is their parents should handle what they read. The books should have labels that tell you the level it is and what the book is about on the back.

These numbers raise the question, what is this doing to the education system, and its bias’s on subjects; “ According to the Office for Intellectual Freedom, at least 46 of the Radcliffe Publishing Course

There are a lot of other better reasons though. Parents and other people ban books with the best interests in mind. They want to keep kids away from bad stuff.

There are a lot of other reasons too, but I did not want to talk about them.

(Needs a thesis) There are many reasons why banning books is not okay. People feel that if books are banned; they are getting their personal rights taken away from them.
