Dangers Of Profanity In 'One Of Us Is Lying'

The Knife Of Never Letting Go is a book about a boy named Todd who lives in a very different world. Todd lives in a small town called Prentisstown where weird things happen. For starters no women are anywhere in the town or nearby. Then there is this odd thing that some would call a germ called noise. This virus makes it so the patrons of Prentisstown can hear everyone’s thoughts. At first glance that seems like it would be nice, you can hear what people think about you or others, but it is the complete opposite.

Although One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is banned in certain places due to its vulgar language and its explicit language, I truly believe that it shouldn’t be banned.

I understand that this book may not be the most appropriate book for anybody younger than 13, but it should still be open.

Does zombie lit have a place in the high school classroom? In my opinion, zombie lit does have a place in the high school classroom like all genres have a place. Stephanie Meyer’s vampires, J.K. Rowling’s wizards, and Maggie Stiefvater’s werewolves are already on high school library shelves. However, the issue arises of what books within the genres should we include. Breathers is a novel that I would not include in a high school classroom. Breathers is an adult novel with adult content. The students in a high school classroom are teen readers. There is a fine line of content that should be analyzed to determine if the novel is a young adult novel or an adult novel. In the library Breathers was found in the adult section. It has mature content that could upset parents and students alike.

We peek in and take out our phones and start recording. And me being the genius I am, have my flash on. The flash shines through and I freak out. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Matt and I sprint away as we hear footsteps approach the door. "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no." I keep thinking. It 's now 11;30 and we are hiding in a janitors closet. We hear Ms. Davis ' footsteps still approach our door and leave multiple times.
