 * __Banned Books- Mitchell Hirsch, Daulton Moro, Alice Urbiel, Hanna Choi__**

Books are challenged and banned because they contain inappropriate content.
 * Books can be challenged by anyone.
 * However, when a book is challenged, it is not always banned.
 * Banning books is done to protect others, especially children, from difficult ideas and information. It is done "with the best intention."
 * Books can be banned for offensive language, violence, having an occult theme or promoting the Satanism, being unsuited for an age group, promoting homosexuality, racism, sexual education, being anti-family, nudity, drunkenness, and prostitution.

Some books that have been banned include:
 * Twilight series
 * The Harry Potter series
 * Of Mice and Men
 * The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The __Catcher in the Rye__ was banned due to obscene language, sexuality, and because it wasn’t appropriate for kids. The __Cather in the Rye__ was number 3 on the banned book list in 2005, number 13 from 1990-2001, and number 6 in 2009.
