People want to ban books for graphic violence, sexual content (even though smut exists), and topics about race and gender. Based on these reasons for banning books I believe that I have personally been exposed to a few books that are probably banned, such as It and Carrie. It was banned for an underage sex scene, while Carrie had that in common with It, it also had graphic scenes of violence and negative views on religion. I also think other books I have read could become challenged by the public and be removed from public library shelves.

Flight is considered a controversial book due to its depictions and in-depth viewing of the native American population and their history, plus us of slurs and overall foul language. after reading most of the book I do not believe it should be under challenge or banned, the book is more than its language, the story is of a boy who had a rough life and was shot, who then wakes up in different bodies and goes on a journey of self-discovery and reflection as he views small portions of peoples lives and how it relates back to his life in Seattle. don’t ban this book.
