The basic plot is that 12 districts are kept in famine and total distress by the Capitol’s leader President Snow. Every year they are forced to send 2 tributes from each district one boy and one girl in a winner takes all death match to keep the districts feel inferior to the capital. Many teachers say that the Hunger games should not be banned due to a great many lessons and morals that can be taught through the reading of the Hunger Games. I say otherwise Hunger Games should be banned from the shelves of schools, because of the extremely graphic violence, the excessive consumption of alcohol, and the great presence of anti- family practices portrayed by Katniss Everdeen throughout the beginning of the book. …show more content…
Throughout the Games the author provides the reader with vivid detail of the deaths of many of the participants to the the detail that is not appropriate to many readers. As seen on page 212 “Rue was brutally speared in front of my own eyes, and I watched the life drain out of her eyes.” As well seen on pg 233 “ He falls to his knees and halves the brief remainder of his life by yanking out the arrow and drowning in his own blood.” As seen by the quotes above the author provides the reader with an excessively graphic image portraying a level of violence that should not be accepted in the books teens read in

The Hunger Games- By Sarah McCallum Strength comes in many shapes and sizes.

I think Mockingjay and the Hunger Games series are an amazing group of books that depict the story of one young woman who stood bravely in the face of danger. It inspires other young women in real modern day life to stand together as well and be strong. People also claim the books depiction of violence and war related themes are too inappropriate for younger teenage readers. I, however, view this as being totally irrelevant to how this would impact those that read the book. In the United States we are constantly surrounded with threats of war and we are currently experiencing violence within our nation with the riots in Ferguson. If people truly believe banning one book because they believe it would help stop a thought of violence within a young teens mind watch what happens when they take a look around the world and see the exact same violence. When something does occur in a book based versus it occurring in real life I strongly believe both will have different impacts and results. I disagree with Mockingjay being challenged and banned so much because I feel like it inspires people more than it supposedly negatively impacts

In conclusion, those who make an argument for the complete banning of The Hunger Games in schools can make a logical argument, but they simply are not correct. The Hunger Games should not be banned from any high schools, or anywhere else unless it is a place for young children. Students in elementary and middle school should not have access to this book for the reasons listed above. It is true that the book contains ideas, scenarios, images, and language that is not family-friendly, but so does the rest of the world. It does not benefit a high school student to be sheltered from the ugly parts of the world, or the ugly parts of literature. A child who is completely sheltered will find it hard to cope with real life once they grow older. While
