United As One Book Analysis
Have you even thought of having legacies? In United As One by Pittacus Lore you can experience how it is like to have it. All the lorics and the army got together, and is ready to take on the fight to save the world. They have already taken one of their warship’s, and is going to be using it against its own war ships. In the end, they successfully killed Setrakus Ra by infiltrating their base and bombing it. I don’t think this book should be a class novel because is has too many curse words, some parts are really boring, and there are too much violence.
My first reason that the book should not be a class novel is because it has too many curse words. “Most of us have had the shit luck to be stuck in the place once or twice. It’s their big base.”

“He pops it, the deadly point punching through the fabric of the straitjacket, and swivels around to stab the blade right at the man’s heart.” He is just talking about what he is doing, so it it the boring part. “The one-eyed boy grunts bitterly, disappointed at the lack of satisfaction.” This shows how the book is boring, and the students are not going to like a boring book.
There are too much violence that happened during the book. “I hack the Voron dagger into the side of his neck, right at the scar. Setrákus Ra gurgles. I slice again.” There are so much violence that there are even murdering people now. “Phiri drives the tentacle into the underside of Mark’s jaw and through the top of his head.” It is another sign of violence. The teacher may not want any or too much violence in the book the class is reading, so it makes it not a good book to be a class novel.
There are too many things the teacher doesn't want in the book. The surplus of curse words, the boringness, and a little too much violence. The characters are speaking with too many curse words. A lot of parts in the book are boring. Last but not least, the book is filled with too much violence for the readers. With the three reasons, the book shows that it should not be a book that is being read to the class as a class

    During the Sierra Leone Civil War that started on March 23, 1991, the eleven-year armed conflict caused the displacement of many citizens and the conscription of child soldiers.

    1. This book is continually banned from the school reading list because of racism, sex, and foul language. Do you believe this book should be banned? Even though this book was published in the 1960’s, how can this book relate to today’s society? Considering that many books come and go in public school curriculum, why does this book endure?…

    To teach or not to teach? This is the question that is presently on many administrators' minds about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. For those who read the book without grasping the important concepts that Mark Twain gets across "in between the lines", many problems arise. A reader may come away with the impression that the novel is simply a negative view of the African-American race. Many scholars and educators, like Marylee Hengsetbeck who said, "If Huck Finn is used solely as a part of a unit on slavery or racism, we sell the book short." feel that there is much to be learned about Blacks from this book and it should not be banned from the classroom. This is only one of many themes and expressions that Mark Twain is describing in his work. Another central theme is how the depiction of race relations and slavery is used as insight into the nature of blacks and whites as people in general. Overall, the most important thing to understand is that Mark Twain is illustrating his valuable ideas subtly and not pushing them upon the reader directly.…

    One reason this book should be banned is the use of vulgar language. The foul language used in this book is not appropriate for middle school nor elementary libraries, but acceptable to more mature audiences like high school. An example of this occurs toward the middle of the book when, the main character, Alice and her friend are at a party that gets out of hand and she’s talking about it the next day, “Last night was the worst night of my shitty, rotten, stinky, dreary, f*cked up life.” (Sparks, 58) Another example toward the beginning of the book when she’s expressing her feelings about that day, “I feel awfully bitched and pissed off at everybody… I just want to puke all over the shitty world.” (Sparks, 82, 83)…

    The people who chose to ban this book did have a point, that foul language and violence is not good for a young student to read, but the good in this book should cover up the bad. The foul language in this book was strictly two words, and they were nothing that most students in my school wouldn’t know. As along with the violence, there are video games and movies that have much more intense violence in them, and much younger people view…

    A trashy and racist book wouldn't be allowed in classrooms. The novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, is receiving negative attention. The dominant problem that students, parents, teachers, and even professors, face , is the usage of the n-word. After reading this adventurous story, it is hard to find the problem that is upsetting many people. Therefore, this incredible novel should continue to be in the high school curriculum because it offers students a realistic historical background, it receives numerous positive reactions, and the meaning of the word nigger, (referred to as the n-word) is changing over time.…

    For example, “warping” and “darkened” create a foreboding sense that highlights the child's fear (lines 1 and 2). Also, Wilbur includes a “forest bird” to calm the child by saying that words can make people afraid and can misguide one from the truth. In “The History Teacher” the teacher understates that the “Enola Gay” dropped a “tiny atom” instead of an atomic bomb (line 12). The children believed what the teacher had taught. In addition, Collins describes the teachers flaws by stating that “he gathered up his notes and walked home” while the children “leave his classroom for the playground to torment the weak and the smart” (lines 18 and 14-16). Instead of the teacher controlling the situation, he ignores it and proves that he is inadequate to educate children.…

    This book was banned due to racial tensions and so called “inappropriate content”. In 1960, school administrators fired an Ohio teacher for assigning the novel to an 11th grade student. The administration claimed the book was anti-white and more predominant white communities fought to have it banned completely. A library banned the novel for a so called violation of codes. The library claimed it had excessive sex scenes, violence ,and extreme foul…

    After all, the book focuses heavily on the alienation felt by teenagers as they transition into adulthood and banning one of the few books taught in school that we might resonate with is more or less completely in synchronicity with the view of adults presented in the book. However, such philosophical digressions can be benched for another day. What my peers and I know is that being a teenager is hard. Being in a place where you are widely misunderstood by anyone outside of your age group is frustrating at the least and can be completely ruinous. By exposing us to a work of literature that not only is technically advanced and well-written, but is sonorous to the reader's psyche, a profound opportunity to truly impact the way a teen reader feels is created. To dismiss such an opportunity because of some ridiculous “American pastime” of denying literature based on superficial discrepancies with what society deems as appropriate is ignorant of the intelligence that teens possess and can apply to literature that has the potential to affect us more…

    For many years schools have banned books from being taught to their students because of parent complaints. These books have been shunned from the criteria, which may or may not affect the student's understanding on a specific subject. People have been fighting to have these books banned because of excessive use of profanity, violence, sex, drugs and many other reasons. They do not look further in the books to see exactly what the author is trying to portray. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is banned in various places in the United States. This book should not be banned because, this book shows an important part in our history, it is not pro-racism, and it shows how far along we have come since then.…

    One reason this book is banned from many schools is because the plot involves rape. A girl accuses an African American man of taking advantage of her when he didn’t. Rape happens all of the time and you can’t keep children away from learning it. If they don’t know that stuff like that happens in real life,…

    This book, in my opinion, was a good book. It’s a book of reality; things that a seventeen year old really goes through. This book shocked me in a few ways. Catcher in the Rye has very inappropriate behavior, horrible language use, and not the best example for others to look up to. I liked the book and think others should read it. I think many can learn from his mistakes and where it leads him. It doesn’t curse as much as I thought but swears about every other line. I can very well understand why the book is banned from schools. This book isn’t one that has a great valuable lesson behind it, where you could fight for it to be read in schools. Catcher in the Rye shows examples of lust, cynicism, and erratic behavior.…

    Throughout my life I haven’t learned too much about literature. It wasn’t until high school I thought highly of literature, in a sense I would have to be literate in order to succeed. As I proceed through life I realize how important literature is, not only to myself but to others. In “The Lonely Good Company of Books”, Richard Rodriguez explains how his parents did not read to him, and how he became literate. I could relate to Richard’s situation because I wasn’t read to much either. Though reading and writing is a necessity and students should learn literature at a young age, it can also be entertaining and create imagination. A growing problem in society is the inability to be literate at a young age.…
