Banned Books Week and Dangerous Learning

        As I was looking at the website I read that banned books was hosted on Google because they got 307 request for books to be removed from America's libraries for restriction purposes. The plan they wanted to achieve and did was to get rid of inappropriate books from libraries and use the website to sell them. Their purpose falls in Bruni's hope for "dangerous learning" because it shows that these banned books were an unexpected sign on how we need to learn about certain books. One of the books that was surprisingly challenged was Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey, it was challenged because of offensive language, unsuited for age group, and violence, but Captain Underpants was basically about two kids who hypnotized a teacher into becoming a super hero they made up in a comic book they created and the story jus continues with all the adventure they will be going through so I don't know why it was challenged. However; Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L James the other hand was challenged because of nudity, sexually explicit, unsuited for age group and religious viewpoints. These books titles were appealing to me because I heard that Fifty Shades of Grey was a good book also from the reports I got made me really want to read it but it just wasn't suited for my age at the time. Captain Underpants I grew up to it as a kid it was always my favorite book to read when I was bored. In conclusion I told You who Hosted Banned Books Week and how its purpose was similar to Bruni's "dangerous Learning" quote, I also gave you two books that were appealing to me and the reason they were challenged and why I liked them.

In Frank Bruni's article " The Wilds of Education" he uses a quote that states " But when it comes to learning shouldn't they be dangerous", from that quote  think he is saying should school be challenging and disrupted to teach the students " The Wilds of Education". One of the quotes that Bruni said that I enjoyed was " isn't education supposed to be provoke, disrupted, challenge the paradigms that young people have consciously embraced and attacked the prejudice that they absorbed". I enjoyed this quote because he gave some good reasons on why education should be challenging or "dangerous". One of the examples of dangerous learning was from a book called The Art of Racing In The Rain, it was an example because one it was banned for its sex scenes that made parents uncomfortable and the sex scenes like rape, abuse and abortion that should be exposed to high schools to teach the students the hardship and controversies of adulthood. In conclusion I gave you a reason why Bruni uses the terminology "dangerous learning " and I gave you a concrete example of it.
