Censorship: What is Acceptable to Watch?
The great thing about writing books is that the author can choose what to write about. Whether it's about cheesy romance to horrifying and dark themes, an author can have the will to write what catches their interests. It's amazing on how something so simple can bring a powerful impact on society but this is because a writer's work can bring controversy. An abundant amount of books can bring such a good morale and have flawless writing, but still be considered as banned to some high school and post secondary education systems for such reasons like swearing and sexual themes involved in the story. It may seem ridiculous to some and especially to some of the authors that wrote the banned books but to me it seems alright. Different cultures have different perspectives and that includes finding the books that are morally right in their eyes. Who has the right the right to judge whether or not that book should be banned or not in their systems? So if the "Harry Potter" series was decided in some random city that it should be banned then let it be banned. But that shouldn't stop some people from reading it. They don't have to be taught about it but, if some truly believed that Harry Potter is a good book to read, then they should be able to read it. Overall my point is that it doesn't matter if some people disapprove, of someone's writing. Not everyone is going to be pleased with the writing style or the message behind the plot. Therefore, in my opinion, the authors should continue writing what they enjoy writing about it, not caring what is crossing the line and watch the controversy begin.

I'd like you to go back and proof read your work Kim. Some of your sentences are unclear and you should be able to catch this. For blog posting, don't worry about fancy vocabulary. Be clear and concise. Don't repeat points. It has to be short and easy to read.
ReplyDelete- what comes to their interests, should be "what catches their interest" or "what takes their interest"
- Who has the right to judge...
- an abundant books ...this does not make sense
- think you need morale (lesson learned) not moral (ethical)
- flawless writing, but.... commas after writing
- "Harry Potter" in quotes means title, without means the person
