Want to Know What Temperature Books Burn At?

For my last unit of Forbidden Books, I got to pick a book that was censored in some time, given to us by our teacher. After reading it, we started to view other people’s books that they chose, and see why that might that might have been censored, by reading some passages from it. Then, why our own book might be censored, and hear other people’s thoughts on the book. The book I chose was Fahrenheit 451, which was written by Ray Bradbury, originally in 1953; I chose this book, because it seemed interesting to me that a book was made about people who personally burn books to stop people from reading them. Leading me to the action project, after we reading this book, we had to write an essay talking about a certain topic, that would show/explain why this books was censored and the theme of the book. The purpose of this was firstly to see why some books are censored, and secondly to see what information they talk about explaining why it might be censored. This was interesting to do, mainly because it showed me how sometimes, some censorships are for really silly reasons; also to see how people want to ban books, that actually have some really good content that we need to learn about. Something that was difficult was having my thesis statement, and making sure that everything I had in my essay would still connect with that statement all the way through.
