“He saw, in the wreaths she would playfully snatch From the hedges, a glory his crown could not match, And preferr’d in his heart the least ringlet that curl’d Down her exquisite neck to the throne of the world.”

Everyone wants a piece of this pie. I never get tired of my morning commute, looking out toward the city watching hope and possibility bloom. New York City is the place where dreams spark and flourish, anything is possible. I feel grateful every day for being born and raised in the greatest city in the world. It is an honor to have lived here and continue to spend my life here. I embark on a new adventure every day and always stumble on something new. I love your culture, originality, traditions, art and honesty. I feel like the whole world is in the palm of my hands when I gaze out at you.
It is a great honor to have read books that were once banned and labeled “offensive.” Those books have left an impact in our society, and to this day still impact the lives of those of have read them and reflect on them. I still reference back to many of those books that were once on that list. Of those banned books is Fahrenheit 451, it has stuck with me. The idea of ‘burning books’ seems so far fetch, but in reality, it makes perfect sense. The preservation of restricting one’s access to educate and grow from books can relate to what we see in our society. The limitations that come from prohibiting certain books prevents the individual and society’s ability to learn, grow, and teach future generations.

One of the most important and influential topics I hold near my heart, the right to exercise and read all literature freely. I find this to be one of the most valuable and crucial concerns effecting our society and most importantly the youth who are limited to these options. Books hold a special kind of power, and each person who reads that book takes something different from it. Books are not created to ‘harm’ you, but to teach, grow, cultivate, and empower you. The harmful trait is those who restrict the circulation of those books. I am so proud to say I have read some books that have been once deemed/or still may be seen as offensive. Knowledge and reading is one of the most powerful and rewarding experiences an individual can have. Read freely and expose yourself to the vast world of literature!
September 21 to September 27 is Banned Books Week. To celebrate, we found a bunch of books THE MAN doesn’t want you to read. Fight the power! Read the books!
