Censorship represents the amount of confidence a society feels. When a society feels threatened they will attack the ideas in books before the ideas attack the society. The Giver by Lois Lowry is number 14 on a list of 100 books that were reported by the American Library Association to be the most frequently challenged books from 1990-1999. Some of the books this list should be banned, but some of them are not that bad. The giver stresses that a perfect world is one without books for enjoyment. This book also has some suggestive material that I felt was very scary. In conclusion, books aren't great for all readers.
