For or Against?

   

    The art of writing should first and foremost be a way of expression and creativity, empowering imagination and inventiveness.When writing freely, you should feel as if you have no boundaries and no limits. I believe writing gives others the chance to speak their mind, with endless possibilities and opportunities. By banning the literary work of authors, the art of imagination, creativity and originality is not being able to reach audiences as the authors intended to. From watching the Youtube video "Banned Book Week: 13 Authors Speak Out,"I was able to clearly see the author's viewpoint on these situations, being strongly affected. Although authors write for themselves, readers are everything to them.In my opinion, censoring or banning books seems like hiding the truth from society. When schools ban books to "protect" their students, they are taking away their freedom and their choice. As far as limitations in writing go, everybody has a different idea of when a line has been crossed. Yes, there are times where some writing styles and techniques can be viewed as dark, depressing and disturbing, but we must remember, writing is a gateway to many, expressing their inner thoughts and feelings. To conclude, I believe everybody has the right to like and dislike things, just not the right to choose for others.
