Argguement Essay

          Reading is some peoples life activities.People love reading especially young adults and teens. Banning books is basically taking away there reading life. Yah, some books are inappropriate for non-mature readers but books like those show great life lesson of what not to do in the real world. A great example for this is the book"Crank", by Ellen Hopkins. The great life lesson in this book is not falling into peer pressure. Peer pressure is an issue for many people that are in middle school. That is why book like these should say in middle school libraries. Maybe not 6th and 7th graders but  mature readers, such as, 8th graders.

           Banned books are most of the time based in life lessons. Teens are going to learn about this situation someday in life so why not learn it in the 8th grade. Also, nowadays censoring books will make kids want to read these books even more. Kids will be getting more interested in these books. Why not just let kids learn about this topic as eighth graders. Mature audiences wont do these things in real life. That is why I say not to let 7th and down not to read these types of books. Because just imagine 6th graders learn about the use of drugs. In the book "Crank", it shows that you shouldn't do drugs because the character in the book falls into many horrible situations. Books like this helps them learn. Some parent don't have the time to sit and talk with these issues in life. Somehow these books  also help parents. Also sometimes its also awkward to sit down with your parent and talk about these issues so reading books that have to do with these issues can help them learn not to do these stuff in the real world.

           Many adults are banning these books but they don't realize that many kids are already aware of these types of stuff. Not only 8th graders but many 6th graders as well. Banning these books just wont make a difference. They will only make kids want to read these books even more. Also if parents have a different alternative about there kids reading books . But taking away books from many middle schools isn't fine. Why cant parents just talk to there kids. Why do people have to take away books that people love away? Also wouldn't it be great to let the kids find out what there are things to face in life. A great way of learning about life and what you have to face is in some of the great books people are banning.

         Also, in many books that middle school children read there are many issues that kids there age face. And it shows where they would go in life. After reading a book like that it shows the reader they wouldnt want to be that person. They will then learn how to face these issues in real life. It would show the reader not tol follow the characters footsteps because they are falling into horrible issues. So, banning these kinds of book will take away great life lessons to the readers and take away the
book itself. This is why i think it is not okay to ban books that face these types of issues.

          Banning books can really take away the meaning of the book. Parents might think that there children shouldn't read these books cause they show really bad examples to the reader but they don't, the book teaches the reader. Also. some parents don't think of the other kids that love these books an depend on the meanings of these books.
