    At my school, it is required that outside reading novels are read in accompaniment with the texts of the perspective language arts classes themselves. These books are chosen by the student.

Very often, people have problems with the issues they deal with and many books get banned. Just in 2004, the Renton School District in Washington state banned in its high schools Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain after an African-American student claimed that the book degraded her and her culture.* Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is one of those…
