I read the article Banned Books Week: Slaying Censorship by Heather Wolpert-Gawson and she discusses the issues that come with banning books. When reading the article I realized that banning books should not be allowed. I believe that students should have the right to choose what books they want to read. I know that when a book becomes banned students become more interested in the material. When a student is told not to do something most of time students feel that they have to do it because they want to defy authority. I think that it is a great idea to celebrate books that have been banned in previous years because it allows students to understand what was going on during society during that time. I believe that reading banned books allows students to develop a new relationship with reading (especially cause they believe they are breaking rules).
