Banned books

What are the general reasons books are banned?

The issue of race, sexual explicitness, and language.

What does this say about our culture and our country?

That we are cencoring the people from great literature.

Have you read any of the books on the list?

Yes, I have read Of Mice and Men, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Catcher in the Rye.

How would your education be affected if you didn't read that book?
I would think that all books are happy and jolly, and I would be turned off by books. Not all books should have a happy ending. They should allow you see an author's point of view about issues that effect us today.
