Banned Books Week
Check out the books on the "lock-down" display near the fron of the library. Have you read any of the books displayed? If so, which are your favorites?
My favorites are The Chocolate Wa by Robert Cormier, Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.
hey dis is shandra, i am reading "the poster board bandit" it is a children tales book in dis delightful story. it is an american boy who moves to a mexican town called taxco and he makes friends with an mexican boy.but that is as far as i have got into the story but i am looking forward to reading the rest.
i have read harry potter it is a very good book and the movie is more interesting i believe if you have not read it are seen the movie then you should go do just that.
"Of Mice and Men" is a very interesting book. It takes place in California during the "dust bowl". The character named George has to look after a mentally challenged named Lenny as they both travel looking for work.
"of Mice and Men" was a different type of book for me to read. I thought it was boring. After five minutes I realized I should've read it the first day I saw it. John Steinbeck is the best.
Toni Morrison authorof "The Bluest Eyes" is one of my favorite authors. In the novel it tells a story of a girl of dark skin complexion who wishes to have blue eyes because she thinks everybody with blonde hair blue eyes are beautiful. In my experience it is not true. She goes through life changes. I don't want tro give anything away because it's a must read book for all ages.
Well the book I read before from the banned books display was Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. It was a good book and I felt that it doesn't need to be banned because it just shows the past and lets people know how it was during that time period
'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck was a banned book that I really couldn't relate to why it was banned. It was about a man named Lennie that was actually mentally challenged and because of that he was extremely strong. He was so strong to where he really didn't know his own strength and ended up killing a woman because of that. Yes, it was sad but not on the extreme side to where it had to be banned.
one of the banned books i want to read is "beloved" i saw the movie. but i think the book would be better because it has more in it and the story is way longer.so that is the book i would really love to read oneday.

I don't think kids 13 and under should read this book because I feel that they a little too young to know a lot more things related to sexual content.
My favorite book from the banned book week is "To Kill A Moking Bird" by Harper Lee
Elizabeth Butler
I like to read a book call "harry potter and the chamber secret" by j.k Rolling. Its a very nice book to read and the movie is very good to watch.
