Books are entertaining to people and
children. Books sometimes have parts that aren't mature for kids.
They talk about things that kids might be influenced by. In the book
“10 Mystery” by Edgar Allan Poe, it has complex language and lots
of killing. When you are to read this book you will see the amount of
detailed scenes in each chapter. The book tries to torture you in
many ways. It makes you feel of what happens when you are a guilty
person, or when you are a victim of killing. Thus, I think that some
books should be banned from school libraries because the books are
tended for mature audience.
Banning some books will keep children
from not being influenced. They will help kids minds healthy and not
hurt them. Many book banners and overly protective parents think
mature content will hurt younger children minds. Books like “10
Great Mystery” that have killing, death, or deep emotion will have
a great affect towards younger children minds. Similarly in the
article “Solon Iowa: the author explains how parents are filling
complaints against teacher for teaching homosexuality. Parents in
middle school in Solon Iowa filed a complain for teaching “Am I
Blue”. One Parent complained that it introduces a very adult and
mature subject to an inappropriate young audience. The parents think
this because books like these will influence them in some way. One
girl Jess after reading a book she immediately reached for her blade.
This shows that books may have a affect towards kids and might make
them do something that parents don't want.
Books that are 18+ shouldn't be read
to children. This is true because it has things that kids shouldn't
have to be read too. The book “10 Great Mystery” has very mature
content. I think that this book has very complex language that isn't
easy for middle school children. It has high level vocabulary that
can be hard for a children to read. This book has killing which can
be bad towards children. The book has torturing scenes. For example
the chapter with the “Tell Tale Heart” it shows what happens
after you kill someone. It shows the torture you would go through if
you killed someone. This will hurt children in someway because this
kind of book isn't for people that aren't 18+. Another thing that
shows that this book shouldn't be in the library is because of its
detailed scenes. It has to much details that might hurt someone. For
example “It is merely a cricket which has made a single chirp”
This quote shows that a killer is trying to kill someone quietly.
The killer is speaking, the author wants the reader to know the
feeling of when someone is trying to kill you. When I read this part
I felt scared and wanted that old man to run away. Also these chapter
of “10 Great Mystery” ends up with no happy ending of a chapter.
This is another example why I think the some book should be banned in
middle school library.
Although the books are entertaining,
addicting or have a good story line it is good for people above 18
not below 18. The books have inappropriate content and it has scenes
that can hurt younger children mind. Kids that reads the books will
choose a choice and might hurt them in someway. I think that books
that have mature content should only be read to adults and not
children.
Overall I think that books that have
mature content should not be read to younger children. Parents and
book banners feel as tho it will hurt younger children minds. Also
kids will be influenced by it in someway. I suggest that kids should
avoid books that aren't right for them. I think parents should be
aware of what there kids are reading.
