Banned Book
Letter to a friend

Dear Cartie're,
The book is banned by some school districts due to the accusation of false rape from a black male to a white woman. Even though the black male, Tom, was innocent the jury still convicted him. The book has racism, violence and the use of vulgar language. I remember reading this book as a freshman in high school. At the time I did not find anything wrong with the book, I feel cause times has changed drastically from now til then, approximately eight years, people have become more sensitive and books like this one can be a victim of being banned.

Review

I like this book because it tell the original story of the three little pigs but they way the book is laid out, it can be fun to follow. It shows the pigs and the wolf coming out of the pages of the book and even the pigs hiding behind several pages. Little things like this can put a fun twist to simple stories.

Review

I recommend this book to young readers. I know children in elementary start reading the Harry Potter books so it can be for anyone from elementary to high school and beyond. Like the Lightning Thief, this book is about Harry who is a wizard. He and his friends go through various events to find the truth. Since this book series it very long, it is good for readers to have a creative mind without watching the movies.

Recommendation

I do recommend this book to younger readers. The subject was Anne Frank and why her and her family were hiding and be sensitive and not appropriate for young readers. I like that this book is worded and illustrated no so harsh. It describes Anne Frank's life before hiding, her life while hiding out and what her diary has done.

Defining Quote

“I’m grateful for all the breaks and honors and opportunities I’ve had, but I always believe I won’t have it made until the humblest black kid in the most remote backwoods of America has it made.”
I like this quote from the book because it is explaining through all Jackie Robinson has been through and with his success, he wants to see other kids who were like him be successful too. I take it as the racism needs to stop, then anyone can be like Jackie Robinson.

After reading this book I see it as a way for children to look up to Rosa Parks. She believed in something so she stood by it. By staying seated she ended the bus segregation. I feel this book is good for younger children because it can inspire them to believe in something and stand by it.

This book is for younger children that are in early elementary school.  It is a picture book about a small fish who stole a hot from a very larger fish than him. I feel this book can be used to teach children about stealing and the consequences that go along with the act.

Recommendation

I recommend this book to middle school and high school students. It is a story about a boy named Bud whose life seems everyone is out for him. He rides it through thick and thin trying to find his father. After leaving an abusive foster home, missing a train with his friends to finally finding his father, he never seems to give up on his goal and I think that can be a lesson to the readers,

5th Chapter Book

I really like this book because I did feel a connection. Neftali is a shy young boy who is not like all the others boys. This disappoints his father but Neftalit tries his best to overcome that, he does and actually becomes a successful poet. I feel this can be used as an inspiration or motivational story for young readers.

4th Chapter Book

I liked the story of this book. It is basically a biography of Jacqueline Woodson. Even though she lived in a time of racism and segregation, she like living in South Carolina. When her mother Mary Ann brings her and her siblings to live in New York, Jacqueline discovers she likes and is a good writer. I feel this book is for middle to high school students to engage their reading.

Defining Quote
3rd Chapter Book

"Never let anyone lower your goals. Others' expectations of you are determined by their limitations of life. The sky is your limit sons. Always shoot for the sun and you will shine."
I love this quote because it puts it into perspective of why people doubt you. People may doubt you are try to put you down because they may not see success in what they are doing or do not believe they can reach a goal that you are on a mission to reach.

I highly recommend this book to younger readers. I mostly remember this book back in my elementary school days. This book has short stories that are simple and easy to follow along to. Some stories have little lessons to teach children such as not eating too much. This can be a simple book to read during story time

I recommend this book to younger child. I remember I was in elementary when my teacher read this story to us.  For children who still believe in Santa Claus, this book is a great way to keep the belief alive.

2nd Chapter Book

I recommend this book to young readers because I feel this story is unique and can grab readers. Its unusual story and pictures can make the story seem real and sometimes relatable. With the characters being young and some situations being ones you would see in middle school, young readers can easily become a fan. Plus with the sequels the book has, it can create a person who likes to read.

1st Chapter Book

This book is about 3 friends who come from different backgrounds. Jin, who helps with her family's store, Alex who is very helpful and giving and Elvin, who had to grow up at an early age join together to try to solve a mystery happening in town. What I like it that it bring the artistic value that Harlem has along with its history.
