Assignment 1 part two

Quote #4 caught my attention for the sheer ridiculous nature of how books need to be monitored. A book is usually a story that the author wants to get a point across. Or quite possibly that they want to entertain their audience and teach them reality at the same time. The fact that books are monitored and censored bothers me. It's one thing to place certain books in certain schools (elementary, middle, high) by content, but another to completely remove them from libraries.

I am completely against censorship of and kind. It takes away from someones creativity and removes a stitch of reality from people who don't know. Although i do think that they can be placed age appropriate wise.

One quote that stuck out the most to me was #3. In number 3 it states that censorship is ok for parents to monitor what their kids are reading. Saying that parents can and other people can't is not fair. Because when parents start to  monitor things based on what other people say, which sometimes the parents dont even agree with. Parents can be so cautious that they take monitoring a bit too far. But I dont even agree with censorship of books regardless so this quote still seemed ridiculous to me.
