We Should Get Rid Of Reading Log
I strongly believe that we should get rid of reading logs. Because it just brings stress to the kids of getting their parent to sign the reading log, because they know if their parent does not sign their reading log the grade will go down. Secondly reading should be a gift you should not have to think of it as a chore. You should be able to get into a good book without thinking about how long you are reading for. By getting rid of reading logs if you don't have the full time you won't have to walk into school stressed out because you know your grade is going to go down.
We should get rid of reading logs. One reason is because sometimes kids won't get their reading log signed and then the grade will go down. Knowing that your grade is going

    Bradbury writes in Fahrenheit 451, “The magic is in only what the books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.” Fahrenheit 451 was, and still is a masterpiece. This book is like a giant warning sign in the road that says “DANGER AHEAD” but nobody is stopping. They are just running through it, full speed ahead without even glancing at it. Human beings are supposed to be smart, so we need to start acting like it. Reading is so important and so crucial in this crazy, big world that we live in. We need to read so that we can learn, dream, inspire, conquer, and educate. Without reading, we would be absoloutely nothing. Hopefully, people will realize what is happening to us and our society, and will…

    I believe that the reason to why we read is to educate ourselves and also, sometimes, to enter a fantasy world. What I live by is that you need an education to be successful. The reason I read is to educate myself so that I can broaden my way of thinking and expand my knowledge. With a greater knowledge of what is out there in the world, that will make it easier to be successful, not only for myself, but for everyone. There is no way that an individual without the ability to read can be accepted into university, let alone, finish elementary school. Reading is essential for learning not only the school curriculum, but for life as well. Keeping up with the economy, reading news papers, reading instructions, reading street signs, are all a must. Murphy states that reading is not a must, but it makes life easier. I agree with some aspects of this statement, but I also disagree. Yes, reading does make life easier, however I do not know how it would be possible to be a part of a community without the ability to read, with the exceptions of infants because they have their parents there to guide them. To walk in a community, not being able to read what is around them – not knowing where streets are, or what stores are what. This is not only an inconvenience to the person themselves, but to people around them…

    The idea of reading has become very unpopular to many people across the world over the past few decades. According to Jordan Weissmann, the author of the article, “The Decline of the American Book Lover”, many people of our generation have stopped reading and have become unintelligent. She says, “The Pew Research Center reported last week that nearly a quarter of American adults had not read a single book in the past year. As in, they hadn't cracked a paperback, fired up a Kindle, or even hit play on an audiobook while in the car. The number of non-book-readers has nearly tripled since 1978”( Weissman). Books provide something that nothing else could ever provide, knowledge. Many could argue that if teachers provide and give us education, what's the point of reading a book? They have forgotten that the only way teachers could’ve gotten the knowledge to teach us is by reading books. Not having books in our society is almost like not having food. It is an essential quality that us humans must have. Similarly. Montag's society almost resembles our current world. Books have been ignored by many people of our generation and nobody has done anything about it. However unlike Montag's society, people of our generation haven’t outlawed reading. They still read books, and it creates a perfect chance to put an end to the extinction of…

    I have never enjoyed reading. I always felt it was something that was forced. When I am given the choice of which book I want to read it makes reading a positive experience. Reading should be something that people enjoy and look forward to doing. Young adults should be required to read all genres of books but have the option of which book they read from each genre…

    8th Grade Analysis

    I believe that we should not have it after 8th grade like really come on. I think that we have had enough of this stuff. In my homeroom class we don’t do them much because he thinks they are stupid and we know better than what they are saying in the book. We have books that we have to learn about. Lots of kids don’t like doing them because they have no impact on our life. We have impact on our lives we make our own dissections. We control our own life’s not the book or the people that made them. This school would have more money if they didn’t spend money on those books. We wouldn’t have to pay $5 for our dances that we have. The prices of drinks and foods at our dances would not be that much if the books were not here. They could start thinking about stuff that we don’t need like the books and save the school money because they are always complaining on how much money they have when they don’t have…

    The kids wouldn’t be having their parents pay for their school unless they actually wanted to learn. Most of the students are preparing to go to college or prepare for a specific job. For most jobs there are lots of specific things that you need to do to qualify for the job. If the kids don’t want to learn then they wouldn’t be going to school they would have dropped out. Schools shouldn’t be able to check students lockers because they could have personal belongings in there.…

    Even though it censors inappropriate material that influences impressionable minds, we should not ban books books because it filters realism and limits our ability for an open mind. It would deprive students of an education about the world around them. Banning books would completely get rid of our freedom of expression and it would restrain our usually infinite imagination.…

    Literature is art, it's how authors express themselves, and that would take that opportunity away from them. Taking that away from an author is like taking away their ability to speak through the pages as they had before. Just because what is in a book doesn’t appeal to someone else, and it wouldn’t be good for a child to read them, doesn’t mean there has to be any sort of ban on any book. Adults may attempt to prohibit books because of suggestive behavior being displayed in them, although kids should be allowed to figure out the wrong from the right by themselves during their lives. Younger children should not be able to have their hands on books with bad behavior and profanity, but as they get older, adults should not heavily guard them from such things. Children need to learn about censorship for themselves at younger ages, while they learn quickly and more efficiently. The right of escaping the real world and enjoying a simple book should never be taken away from any person. Adolescents could very well be having a hard time in their life, and books could potentially help them. This can apply to school, too. If someone doesn't have a lot of friends, they are able to dive into the book and feel like they are a part of something bigger.…

    Lately, however, schools have begun to ban many books making them unavailable for their students to read. This limits what students are allowed to read and essentially learn. Books have many purposes, one being education. A school's purpose is to teach its students and help them discover new things. If they are limiting what students are learning or discovering through books, they clearly are not doing their jobs efficiently.…

    The act of book banning gets rid of freedom of speech and press which is one of the most important things in this country. Getting rid of it is basically breaking the law. Banning books also keep readers away from the real world and opposing viewpoints. Even though some people might not like a book, there is no need to keep it away from everybody. Even if somebody thinks that Harry Potter promotes witchcraft, it shouldn’t be prohibited. And finally, banning books takes away a student’s opportunity to learn new things and see different perspectives. If somebody dislikes a book, there is no reason to keep it away from others and letting others learn from it. Therefore, the restriction specific books has negatively affected students and should not be done, books should be kept out in the open for everybody to read and learn…

    Each year, hundreds of individuals attempt to take books off the shelves of school libraries. Banning books takes away our privilege, as American citizens, to read what we want (Source 1). If people are offended by a book, depriving the entire state of their ability to read that certain book is not the solution. There are various other ways to ensure that parents who do not want their children to read particular books without abolishing them from the entire school. Banning books from schools restrains students from their first amendment rights by taking away their freedom of press and in some cases, religion (Source 1).…
