cannaqueers: socialistexan: goldentrio: peachesandpunk: dramaticnipples: homiedepot: pantheris: deadhisoka: blackness-by-your-side: The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law. FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST???IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKSARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list. BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG. The Great Gatsby: “rich people can get away with a lot of shit” America: “hmmmm can’t let people know that” Invisible Man is fucking amazing as well! BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE NEEDS TO BE READ BY EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES Beloved too? Damn If we want to get really specific: Farenheit 451 is not just about how bad it is to ban/burn books, but specifically that society had been conditioned to not care that the books were being burned at all. Caring these books are being banned is the push back needed to keep the worst from happening. Why is Call of the Wild on that list? I read it in 8th grade and I don’t remember if there was anything to make it ban worthy. Love how the Great Gatsby is on this list when it was a book we were *assigned* to read in high school. ♀️ -- source link
