For 200 years, America has been undergoing several political changes and phases that have affected all its aspects. During these critical years, a lot of books also undergone different kind of banning in some community libraries because of the rather bad influence that they were having among children. However, when you look closely at these books, you may wonder why they were banned at all! Read the list of the 3 banned books in the US places and the reasons why they were not allowed for public viewing.
1. “A Wrinkle in Time” (Madeleine L’Engle). A book of fantasy and make-believe that once read, no one would want to neither leave nor escape from. (Familiar? J.K. Rowling’s Hogwarts) The plot centered on a girl’s endless search for her missing father. It was specifically banned because of its promotion of witchcraft, hocus-pocus, and crystal balls. The fact the it dragged the name of Jesus Christ alongside some great artists, scientists, religious artists, and even philosophers, gave the more reason for its being banned.
2. “A Light in the Attic” (Shel Silverstein). This book is a lighthearted one meant for children. So, why was it banned if it is for children? Because of its contents that are considered inappropriate for children. A Florida school even commented that the book really promoted “violence, horror, disrespect.” In fact, according to some people, the majority of its content even encouraged and endorsed disobedience and what’s more, and messiness. And this triggered the parents into requesting for the banning even more.
3. “The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn”. Another Mark Twain masterpiece, this book was regarded as one of the most sensation books ever written by one of the most known authors, too. It was banned due to its “pernicious” influence on the young minds. The use of word beginning with “n” has also been one major reason why it was pulled out of the reading list of the eight-grade students.
If you had read these books and actually loved them and then wondering why they were banned, don’t worry, we are on the same boat.
