The Censorship of books.

Suttle, George. "Censored introduction." //George suttle.com//. 8/7/02. 20 Apr 2009 .
 * The censorship of books has been around for longer than people think. T.C
 * People try to ban books because they are afraid of what they say, and what they state T.C.
 * Books are an expression of feeling and they should not be censored by the people who are afraid of them. T.C.
 * Schools are probably the most common target for book banning. T.C
 * They try to say that certain books poison the children's minds. T.C.
 * This is clearly an act against the First Ammendment. T.C.
 * It is against freedom of religion . . . T.C.
 * Press and speech . . . . T.C.
 * The freedom of Assembly and association . . . . T.C.
 * As well as the right to petition the government. T.C.

Pros and cons of censorship
 * But of course thee are the books of things such as "pornography" and extreme content not intended for children. T.C.
 * Now these are the books that are abusing the fact of trying to stay "uncensored".T.C.
 * Whenever confronted by the conflict, they are always trying to say that "if other books shouldn't be banned, how come ours do?" T.C.
 * They will then go to the first Amendment of the constitution to defend them selves.
 * When it is said that books should not be censored, it means that books of no extreme vulgarity, and not books like, Huckleberry finn, or Tom sawer.
 * I admit that they do use some foul language but not enough to actually do any harm to a high school student.
 * High school students don't honestly pay attention to the vulgarity.
 * It has a few swear words, so does television!
 * If you want to look at something with vulgarity, you'll find no place better that television or the internet.
 * But of course, the government won't ban the internet or television because the people would complain.

Examples of censorship recognition.


 * Many have even noticed the censorship of books.
 * in the book "Fahrenheit 451" it is in the future, and things are very different.
 * Everything is about fun, and nobody has to "read" anything . . ..
 * thats because books were against the law in this book.
 * The author of this book who was Ray Bradbury, wanted to write a book that would stimulate the mind, as well as the concious.
 * He wanted to show the world what could possibly happen in the future because of man's fear of the book.
 * This novel was also very similar to our time and age because of how people act today.
 * Today, people are more occupied with the computer or the television to even care about books.
 * Everyday, it is debated wether a certain book should be censored.
 * The censorship of books is emphasized in this book so closely to today that its kinda scary.

Bradbury, Ray. //Fahrenheit 452//. New York: Ballantine books, 1950. Print.

Censorship in schools 
 * The adventures of Huckleberry finn is the 4th most banned book in the country.
 * This is because the use of some language and a racial slure.
 * Many teachers have tried to discuss this classic with a high school audience and prevailed without anything more than a snicker.
 * But because of this vulgar language, the schools are then forced to ban this timeless classic.
 * Parents are one of the leading causes of this predicament, because they feel a need to keep their child away from profane subjects, which is reasonable, but the teen is becoming an adult and they are mature enough to hear some foul language.
 * There are many more books and they are all banned because of some little profanity that could be found everyday on the television or the internet.
 * And books like the bridge to tarabithia have been banned because of its confusing mix of reality and fiction.
 * These schools are trying to eliminate all traces of imagination from these children's minds.
 * All the schools want is to have children that think only about reality and the importance of it.
 * The imagination is a powerful tool because without it, we would have no planes, cars, or boats.
 * The reason for the imagination is so that we as a world can grow and thrive for the better good of man, and without it, we will be lost in a very boring and dull world.
 * These books have stimulated the mind of the human for centuries, so without the imagination what will happen to the children of today, and their children, as well as their children after?
 * These books give them the will to thrive and make things that will hopefully make our lives a more pleasant experience.
