Possession is nine-tenths of the law, and yet concerned parents have no trouble stripping a library of a book that may matter to only one individual. I was recently shocked to find out that Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Patterson was one of the most frequently banned books of 1998. I enjoyed reading this book in sixth grade, and I felt it was a moving story of friendship and loss. I cannot imagine what was deemed objectionable about this novel nor can I imagine my freedom to read it being taken away. Another book I believe has been unjustly challenged is Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach .
Cartoons are the same way.
They have violence in them. However, it is unrealistic violence. A child could never drop a boulder on a playmate, and so the cartoons continue to be aired. My right to seek knowledge and read whenever I want to read is a freedom I appreciate each and every day. This magical description sounds like a wonderful reading experience for a student with a vivid imagination.
