Should Catcher in the rye be banned?
I dont feel like The Catcher in the Rye should not be banned in schools and libraries this day in age because a lot of things have changed form the 1950's to present day 2011. The book is sixty years old now and the things in it are really not that bad in society today. If I lived in the 1950's I would for sure would have banned this book from schools and libraries because the things in the Catcher in the Rye were looked at very differntly and than today in 2011. For example when Holden was cursing all the time in the book it really didn't bother me because I hear language like that all the time, but in the 1950's that wasn's the way people talked at all they really didn't cuss that much. Then the other side of it is if I banned the book so that people couldnt read it then that would make me the catcher in the rye because I would be sheltering and protecting people from the bad stuff in life just so that they keep their innocence. Also if you bannned this book all it does is make it more desirable for people to read and see what's in it the book that makes it so bad.
