About this deal

Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways.” With Sethi’s note prefacing the historical context that led to banning of particular texts, the book serves as perfect reference for anyone interested in evolution of politics, law and modern Indian history. Readers will be eager to follow the young protagonist’s next move.” – Patricia D. Lothrop, School Library Journal

Boken som inte ville bli läst påminner om bilderboken Hjälp! Boken åt upp min hund. Det är alltså meningen att högläsaren ska interagera med boken till lyssnaren/barnets förtjusning. För boken krymper bokstäverna och gör dem sen för stora. Försöker bränna upp sig och mixa om bokstäverna allt för att inte bli läst. Sethi, who teaches Modern Indian History at IIT Mandi’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences, notes that the collection of texts is “united by their patriotic sentiments, their sense of mission and by the fact of their all being banned”.A key tension in the book is whether Will is capable of going through with the plan to kill his brother’s murderer. You didn’t, but could you have done it? Tämä oli ihan hauska kirja, joka on selkeästi tarkoitettu lapsen ja aikuisen yhteiseen lukuhetkeen. Siinä tämä kirja varmaan onkin hyvä, sillä hauskat tapahtumat ja sattumukset varmaan pitää mielenkiinnon yllä. Originally, it was not the government who forced people to give up literature; ordinary citizens made the choice to do so themselves and without any resistance. They simply decided that literature was no longer valuable and stopped reading: Because if this book is read all kinds of strange and magical things might happen. Silly things and secret things... Alligators might appear, the book might try to fly away, and before you know it you'll be having all kinds of unexpected fun. How AWFUL.

There was no story, just some fun with the idea not telling a story, the red and turquoise colour scheme was nice and I enjoyed some of the vintage etching style illustrations. There was one illustration of a skeleton of conjoined twin children looking at each other, which when used for comedy seemed inappropriate. New Delhi G-20 summit | How Prime Minister Modi turned an annual diplomatic event into a grand political spectacleThe book points out that while Savarkar is a “divisive figure” today, his views, particularly towards the Muslim community, evolved and became rigid later on in his life, compared to his early writings reflected in his book, The First War of Independence (1909). Not any more. I used to and I still can; I could still sit down and crochet a hat or a sweater if I needed to. But I’ve been thinking about it, though: it taught me patience, it taught me diligence. It taught me that it’s one stitch at a time. No matter what it is in life, if you skip a loop, you have to undo it and start again. If you skip a step then the thing you make will be distorted, it’ll be gathered and bunched in places, it’ll be ill-fitting. One stitch at a time and that’s life! That’s how it works. Banned in the Hunan province of China in the 1930s for portraying animals as acting on the same level as humans. Someone's written a book on tobacco and cancer of the lungs? The cigarette people are weeping? Burn the book." So many people found something offensive that all books should just be burned so that people can be happy; and that is where the firemen come in.

There’s an author’s note in Long Way Down where you recognise that young people, particularly boys, don’t like to read. Then you add: “So here’s what I plan to do: NOT WRITE BORING BOOKS.” The screens frequently mentioned in the novel are a type of network that watches the citizens while providing a type of entertainment/propaganda. Bradbury is trying to warn people of the mind-numbing effects of television. Bradbury is warning people of the hypnotic propaganda potential of television. Best for older, action-loving kids, this book offers nonstop adventure and terrific exposure to Greek mythology.” In Fahrenheit 451, how did books become forbidden in the first place?" eNotes Editorial, 18 May 2020, https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/in-fahrenheit-451-how-did-books-become-forbidden-72051. You’ve had a lot of success now, but you still do a lot of talks at schools and juvenile detention centres. Why is that important?If a person can read, a person can think.

Det var en lärare som ville att jag skulle köpa in Boken som inte ville bli läst. Jag hade inte hört talas om den, men den är skriven av komikern David Sundin och ska med andra ord vara rolig. Den ÄR rolig! Om rätt person läser den här boken högt för sina barn kommer det kanske att vara den roligaste boken någonsin. Beatty also stated that their society burned books to try to make everyone equal, so as to make everyone feel better about themselves:

David Sundinin "Kirja joka ei halunnut tulla luetuksi" (Tammi, 2020) on tiettävästi ollut valtava myyntimenestys Ruotsissa. Tarinan ideana on se, ettei kirja halua tulla luetuksi ääneen, vaan yrittää vastustella saamalla siivet, muuttamalla fonttikokoaan, syttymällä tuleen ja niin edelleen. Kniha je kvalitným zdrojom zábavy pre vás a vaše dieťa. Nie je ale určená na samostatne čítanie. Na to, aby sa plnohodnotne ukázala jej kvalita, ju proste musí čítať dospelý. A samozrejme pri nej robiť šašoviny. Dospelý sa musí s knihou popasovať a zábavne príbeh pre dieťa prečítať. the word 'intellectual' became the swear word it deserved to be...you remember the boy in your own school class who was exceptionally 'bright'...and wasn't it this bright boy you selected for beatings...after hours?" Sethi also records Nehru’s views on Savarkar’s book. “In an essay titled ‘The Proscription and Censorship of Books’ written in 1929, Jawaharlal Nehru, with characteristic generosity towards political opponents, had this to say about the book: It is a brilliant book though it suffers from prolixity and want of balance occasionally. I had occasion to read it in Europe and I have often felt that a new edition, more concise and with many of the oratorical flights left out, would be an ideal corrective to the British propaganda about the events of 1857. But I’m afraid we shall have to wait for this till Swaraj comes.” If you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close this book right now. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life.

Tak pozor. Táto kniha naozaj nechce byť čítaná a dá vám to na každej strane patrične najavo. Bude na vás chrliť oheň, zmenšovať vám písmená, bude chcieť odletieť a klamať vás. Len ju nechajte na pokoji ☝🏼 Mildred and her friends are mesmerized by the programs they watch in the television parlor.(http://www.enotes.com/fahrenheit-451/themes)
