Banned book reflection
My thoughts on this over all mini project were that is was a good way to get back into reading. The book mark was made to represent the book and why it was censored. My book was censored because of describing sexual context. I decided to put "read what you want" because it was a statement to show that it shouldn't have been banned cause it is a book that a lot of people can learn from. It is also a interesting story. We had a potluck where we ha to bring in something that had to do with our book. So I brought in chocolate brownies because the title of my book had to do with chocolate. this project made me realize that I need to try and find books I enjoy.
