Why is the hunger games book series banned in some school districts? So the books, even be banned. The hunger games series is about two teen Defeat the strong capital rules, by falling in love with each other and deciding not to kill each other forcing the game makers of the capitol to change the rules of the game and let cattness and Petta live, (main charters). But Now in catching fire the story changes a bit. The teens need to battle again. With the capitol ,people and love. There are a lot of the graphic parts in the story, but I believe that any 9th grader should be able to handle it. One reason I believe the hunger games series access should not be limited to 9th grades is the idea that 9th grader should be more mature. People challenge this book because they think that the hunger games is to too violent kids or that it could cause nightmares. And I agree with that if we are talking about little kids. But we are not talking about little kids we are speaking about 9th graders who are in high school. That idea that a high school student who is not allowed to read this book because the school district says it too violent is preposterous. The truth is teen are exposed to more things worst then the book. Due to video game movies and the web. In fact younger kids can say they have played a violent game that has nudity, death or gun violence. In parts of the hunger games book Suzan Collins uses a part of a story to give a better idea of what cattiness feels. Like in chapter 18 of the hunger game “Rue's death has forced me to confront my own fury against the cruelty, the injustice they inflict upon us--------, I feel my impotence. There's no way to take revenge on the Capitol. Is there?"(Collins, 236) and another example is when k... ... middle of paper ... ... grader? I believe that these books should not be banned to any 9th grader because the word usage is great. It’s a great story and most people 9th grader would agree that this book is ok for them to read. In conclusion I believe that anyone who thinks that they would enjoy this book should have access to this book. Because of the many reason I stated above. 9th graders should have a choice weather or not they should read it. And most 9th graders should be able to handle it. And the truth that most 9th grader have seen and read worst and lastly 9th grader are more mature than. I understand why some say that this book usage is for adults and not kids or teen but I personally believe that reading this story the story was not that bad and really shouldn’t even be banned for middle school students. I think it comes down to if you think you can handle this book or not.
