Lastly; to sum up, Lennie's absent minded personality only causes destruction with the course of the story, Lennie manages to turn tough times, even tougher followed by his mistakes. Steinbeck was not successful while portraying Lennie Small as a sympathetic. Lennie causes way too many dangerous and risky slipups.…
Of Mice and Men remains a pertinent piece of literature even in our present time. Based on the fact that it holds significant historical relevance, students can connect with the themes in the book, and some children remain mature and respectful towards the novella only expands this evidence. Banning this book would deprive children of their learning and educational capabilities. It should be kept in high schools to help youth focus on events that actually took place during the Great Depression. Steinbeck appropriately conveys the matters on topic and continually exhibits the relevance of his work. Therefore, novels, such as Of Mice and Men, remain applicable in society.…
The first reason for “Of Mice and Men” being banned is racism. The feelings of somebody taking something the wrong way isn't racism, but this book is the definition of racist.The characters in the book are in a time where slavery and using the N word is an everyday thing because they…
Imagine being isolated from the world and everyone else for being black, being mistreated for not being the same as everyone else, or even not being able to follow your dreams because you’re a women, these are the issues That Steinbeck introduced to us in the book Mice of Men. In the book there was many issues and the ones I saw were the most important and that were still to this day happening, were Crook racial slur problem, Lennie’s mental health issues, and Curl’s wife issue in regard to being unhappily stuck with Curly instead of perusing her dreams.…

Not all books that are banned should be but there are some that I see good reasoning for why it has been banned. In my opinion the book I read shouldn’t be banned, but I do see why some readers feel that it should, in the book there is some violence that might be disturbing to a young reader. Also to some young readers they may find the book to be scary. Even with these other points I am still against banning this book and many other books. I encourage anyone who dislikes a book or finds it inappropriate to think about their decision before challenging or banning a…
Second-wave feminism. The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. The base of evolutionary biology. All of these major changes in the world were products of books. People that read these influential pieces of literature went on to change the world and make history. Often, banned books lead the standings of contributors, as many of them become world renowned names such as To Kill A Mockingbird. Without these books, this world simply would not stand where it does today. People ban books because of the explicit content they hold and the negative impact they leave the reader with.

So no I do not think that this book should be banned or even should've been challenged it is an all around amazing book.

This mainly because of how amazing the book…

Many of these classic stories have been banned because of sexual references, racial slurs, religious intolerance, or supposed witchcraft promotion. Although some may consider these books controversial or inappropriate, many English classes have required their students to read these books (About banned). It should be believed that even controversial books could ultimately boost, not deter, our educational wealth. Book banning should be opposed for three main reasons: education should be open to everyone, citizens should have access to the press, and, lastly, parents should monitor what their own children read and not what other children can obtain. For these reasons, I conclude that the government should play no role in what books any age group can obtain.…

Another way to protect children from harmful information could be to place ratings on books that go by…
The banning of books most of the time is a must, but the banning of children's books? May not be what people make it out to be. The book I’ve found most astonishing to find on a banned book list is the very popular Harry Potter series. By examining that this book is a fantasy, Harry is a hero, and that the message has nothing to do with why it was banned, it is clear that Harry Potter should NOT be banned. I have found sources that agree with me, but also show the other side of the story.…
