The Controversy over Book Censorship

vs. The Harry Potter book series, written by J.K. Rowling, has been a popular culture sensation since the first book was released in 1997. Since the…

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.

Five reasons 'Gatsby' is the great American novel

Can't wait for the new movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio as The Great Gatsby? Here are five reasons The Great Gatsby, that gaudy Roaring Twenties tale of lost love should be ranked as the great American novel

There is nothing more I love than a great, classic novel, The Great Gatsby being one of the highest on my list. Since the semester ended, I have more free time to enjoy and read what I please, and I can’t wait to visit this classic again. There is something very special about The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald created a true, honest rendition of what an American classic should embody. I fell in love with Jay Gatsby for numerous reasons, but one, in particular, is his admiration for Daisy. I feel fancy, liberated, and in pain when I read Gatsby. Fitzgerald has done something truly remarkable. The characters are simple, yet complex and the language is so beautifully poetic and painful, you cannot help but feel similar pain to the author’s agony. I can’t wait to read it again and experience all the things that made me fall in love with the novel initially. 

I know you're crazy. not me, you.
