Paper Towns Should Be Kept In High Schools

238 Words1 Page

Paper Towns would be considered challenged because of its mature content, sexual content, swearing and slight racism. Throughout a majority of the book the characters are swearing, as most do in high school, and getting revenge on each other. I think it’s reasonable that it’s considered challenged due to some of these content. People may not want younger audiences to be exposed to this kind of behavior. Although I think that this book should be kept in high school libraries because it’s pretty accurate to what students are like in high school. The average high schooler swears, goes to class, is in a relationship and goes to parties. With that being said many students may be able to relate to the realistic characters and maybe guide them a little

    I do not think this book was reasonably challenged because there are so many other books with more vulgar language and sexual scenes than this book. I think it was unfair to challenge this book. Also none of the sexual scenes or language is that excessive or graphic. I think it is okay for this book to remain in the high school library.

    This emotional satisfaction stems from the “remembered hurts which then get recast into symbols” (Denby 11) and are eventually eliminated or fixed when “the outsider who joins the system also modifies it” (Denby 13). The system he mentions is the social constructs American teens create for themselves as they view the world is constantly judging them and they constantly judge the world. The high school teen movie genre in a whole is an inaccurate representation of reality, according to Denby. They are “merely a set of conventions that refer to other films” (Denby 4) and simply reaffirm for the yearning viewers that “the outsiders can be validated only by the people who ostracized them” (Denby 13) creating yet another unrealistic
