Banned Book Week

The book I chose is “To Kill a Mockingbird”. This book has mostly been challenged due to the racial, sexual and suggestive language used in the story. It has been challenged or banned by parents, towns, NAACP and African Americans. It was banned in Lindale, Texas because it went against it values. The book was pulled off a readers list due to the language ii contained by Brampton, Ontario and temporarily in Eden Valley, Minnesota. The book has been restricted for mostly high school and younger students. I started to find another book when I seen that someone else had chosen the same book until I read it and I realized that just like the story that was written from someone’s view of what they perceived. The story was written in a time period where reality was similar as in the book people being falsely accused and personal justice was served not judicial justice. The writer just put it on paper yes the story is told from his put of view so its fiction. I agree that it has not been national banned and it can still be read. It’s obviously considered to be a good story it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961.
