In the book" The Giver" by Lois Lowry.  Small 11yr old Jonas is chosen by his Community to be the next receiver of memory.  His Community's memories have been washed away and everything is the same they all have Sameness there is nothing unique that pops out from anyone everything, feeling ex is the same.  Jonas was chosen to share the memories with the rest of his people even if it involves pain.  This book isn't all that bad so why should it get banned?  I SAY IT SHOULDNT.

One reason this book shouldn't get banned is because as middle school students we are mature enough for many disturbing things. "The hands came and the pain came with them and through them".  I wont lie this may make Parents a little uneasy but we are mature enough maybe one or two kids may laugh thinking that in this part Jonas is doing something inappropriate but we are all mature the teacher will shut that down in a instant. "I wanted her to take off her clothes and get into the tub, I had the sponge in my hand but she wouldn't she kept laughing and saying no". This may have some kids laughing because the girl is around Jonas's age and she is nude in the tub but as I said before we are all mature enough for all this.

There may be a way that supports the side of this book being banned is the sameness because I know no parent would want their kids thinking it is alright to be the same and not stand out and in the beginning that is what this book is getting at. But that is only one way so don't get to tied up on that argument.

To wrap this up this book should not be banned it is totally fine for kids our age reading these books and there is a movie on this book and I am pretty sure that you Parents out there let your kids watch it.  But anyway they should keep this book in our library because you can learn lots of lessons from this book.
