Argumentative Essay: The Banning Of Banned Books

As a student, I realized that a lot of books are banned whether it’s in schools, libraries, bookstores and many more places. ‘’More than 11,300 books have been challenged since 1982 according to the American Library Association.’’ (‘’Banned Books Week’’Para.2). Books play a role in our society just like how movies do. But, I personally enjoy reading a book rather than just watching a movie because reading helps a reader to visualize and expand their imagination about the characters, the places, it basically drives the reader into a whole new place. Books give the reader an insight into a character’s mind. Almost every book that I’ve read and ended up watching the movie was kind of a disappointment as to the fact that the characters don’t even match the description of the book and I noticed that condensing of books into movies leads to deleted parts from the book or abbreviation of developments within the book itself because movies have a limited time which in most cases varies from 1-3 hours max.
So, when books are banned due to issues such as Offensive language, sexually explicit, and unsuited for age group, homosexuality, sex education, or even religious viewpoint, that’s just reality that everyone needs to face. No one is forced to read those books, but they’re available to whoever wants to place their shoes in someone else’s side to really help become a more understanding person. Strip and regular clubs never got banned, however, with a permission of checking a person’s ID everything is fine. Books deserve the same
