  • Fahrenheit 451 Be Banned Essay

    708 Words  | 3 Pages

    Anytown School Board, 11,300 books have been put in question for possible removal since 1982. The School Board is trying to make it so that the book Fahrenheit 451 is not a part of any school curriculum or read on campus by students. While parents do have the right to decide whether or not reading material is appropriate for their children, it should be a choice that affects their child only, not the entire population of students. I feel the banishment of the novel Fahrenheit 451 is unjust and is explicit censorship. An important reason we shouldn’t allow books to be censored in school libraries is that it’s taking away student’s right to read books of their choosing.

  • The Role Of Censorship In Ralph Ellison's Battle Royal

    822 Words  | 4 Pages

    United States of America, a country that is known for its striving democracy and its amendment towards “freedom of speech”, made an unlawful decision by allowing many public places like libraries and schools to apply censorship and ban books. Literature and any other type of writing are all types of freedom of speech because it allows each author to express themselves and their message through their work. With the authority of censorship and banning of books in a democracy like the United States causes a danger to us because we would not have the ability to obtain certain knowledge that might help us in a significant way. Additionally, I think we would be affected if we did not read any of the short stories we read in class, for example, “Battle Royal” by Ralph Ellison. If we had not read “Battle Royal, we would never have the chance to unscramble and understand his symbolism in his

The book centered around a mentally unstable, socially isolated teen named Holden Caulfield.

    Storytelling can be described as a powerful tool, with the ability to reach many different individuals and affect their perspectives through the messages they are conveying. Narratives in a similar sense can have perverse effects on human consciousness, leaving impacts of how we think, feel, imagine, remember and relate. Mitchell states that popular fiction is important to society as it contains many important messages that can be disguised as social transformation or ideological revisioning due to the large and diverse audience that it is able to reach (Mitchell, 2012). The focus will be to examine four different popular fiction narratives from this term and the important messages within them that aid or encourage some aspect of social transformation.

    Books create many senses to readers. They allow readers to obtain the same emotions as the characters as challenges are being faced. They also allow readers to mentally set themselves in the situation of a character.
