After reading this list of books, I was shocked by the content of them. Surprisingly I had read two of the books, Persepolis and The House on Mango Street. When reading the books for the first time, I did not realize how challenged the books were. After reading these descriptions from the banned books, I had a new view about the books.
These books are categorized as challenged readings because they, as far as I am concerned, definitely contained inappropriate contents and informations for readers. These books sometimes went against the norm of society and offered negative perspectives, which can provide a threat to the common belief and government. They also might be offensive and aggressive towards current beliefs. This is especially true if the readers are young individuals because they can't identify the rights and wrongs of the world yet. Thus, these books provide negative effects towards younger readers and may cause chaos within a community.
There is reason and merit between those who categorized these books as being dangerous because the books will ultimately educate young individuals in a negative way. Not only does the books affect young learners, they may cause many grown ups to rebel against the society, which will devastate the entire community. I think the books shouldn't be necessarily banned for eternity, but it shouldn't be recommended to readers either.

Personally, I wouldn't want to read these books unless I absolutely have to. One reason for this is that some of the books' contents are just against most of my beliefs and understanding of the world. another reason is that they do contain some inappropriate materials that I absolutely don't want to take part in. (like drugs, bullying, gambling, and offensive languages.) Again, I would not go very far to read most of the books marked illegal by the community.
