Essay On The Hunger Games Should Be Banned

The banned book I chose to read is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I chose to read it because it sounded like an action-packed book and interesting. The book is 374 pages long and every page is exciting and makes you want to not put it down. Also, I will be telling you a summary of this book and why it was banned. Then, to finish it off I will state my opinion on whether The Hunger Games should be banned.

First, it is really insensitive. The government selects two random kids from each one of the 12 districts every year to fight to the death on live television.

Lastly, I think The Hunger Games should be banned because of the violence at such a young age. Teenagers who aren’t even adults are forced to kill each other. That is quite out of place for such young people. In conclusion, The Hunger Games book should be banned for all of these
