It's ok. I know you won't admit you haven't read any of the books you're bloviating on about. No worries. At least I went and read one so I could judge for myself.

What people who want to ban historical authors and books that fail to meet todays PC standards don't understand..
Is that they are invaluable time capsules into people attitudes and behaviors for the time period they were written. ...
Not really. You really don't need to read badly written prose to realize people in 1870 were racist as all get out.
I'm amazed you weren't required to read the whole novel. I was never assigned part of a book.
I did have the misfortune to have to trudge through Orwell's 1984.
Here's the thing about HS literture. We make these kids trudge through dull, boring books that they have no interest in reading, and then wonder why they have no interest in reading. Why do we do this? Because teachers are taught to instruct from a dull, depressing book like 1984, where frankly, you get to the end of it, and feel kind of crappy.
what amazed me was that my nieces and nephews, when Harry Potter came out, couldn't wait for the next book. Kids wanting to read a book hundreds of pages long!
But, no, let's make them trudge through Laura Ingells talking about what it was like to pull water out of a well.
Apparently those who wish to remove Wilder's name from the award. Just how much can you read for comprehension?Who cares if there was. Like Sunni Man said, it's a historical window into the culture and attitudes of that time period.Oh. Saw no evidence of racism or bigotry in the first of her series.

I think his autobiographical stuff is better.1984 was one heck of a book
Progressives definitely want to rewrite historyI don't believe anyone has suggested that in Wilder's case.People have to understand and read books in the context of their times - not judge them by today's moral standards. Otherwise how many great books would be removed? Most I would think.
You just keep thinking that Poindexter. ... ..Besides, Sunni Man hasn't read her novels, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

1984 was one heck of a book, that's why you hated it because it became true ( I picked it up at the local book store) i never read Harry potter or watched any of the movies it was just fantasy ...not in to that.
Harry potter is for little kids with fucked up imaginations...1984 was one heck of a book, that's why you hated it because it became true ( I picked it up at the local book store) i never read Harry potter or watched any of the movies it was just fantasy ...not in to that.
Yeah, escapism is bad, I guess.. that's what the booze is for in your case
Actually, I thought 1984 was overrated.
Here's my problem with the book. To enjoy a book, I have to be invested in the characters. Winston Smith is a pathetic little worm, you really have no investment in him at all, and aren't the least bit surprised when he cries like a little pussy when they threaten him with rats at the end.
It is far far too late for these fanatical punitive fools. THE LEGEND of Little House and Laura Ingalls Wilder is a monumental statue of respected, venerated his/her story greatness for a long long time already in the USA. The books and the show are vividly alive in the minds of many older USA citizens and this nonsense will only confuse the young. What this does is create a cognitive dissonance in schools and the internet that will further poison the innocence and creativity of young children in America. Way to go again far lefty nutcases!

Wishful thinking... kids don't really want to read 'Picking my nose on the Prairie".
The only reason why these crap books are still used in schools at all is the teachers are too lazy to learn to teach to the YA novels kids are ACTUALLY reading.
That's too bad, I think. I loved those books and I don't remember anything about other races in them. With or without the award, I hope kids still enjoy them.Laura Ingalls Wilder's name is set to be removed from a major children's book award after concerns were raised about the "Little House on the Prairie" author's depiction of certain races in the early-to-mid 20th century.
Laura Ingalls Wilder's name pulled from library award over 'stereotypical attitudes' in her popular books

Harry potter is for little kids with fucked up imaginations...
1984 was required reading when I was a kid
You missed the point of the book, 1984 proves how fucked up socialism is... it destroys everything it touches... absolutelyHarry potter is for little kids with fucked up imaginations...

I don't know, I find them really great. Something that can get a kid interested in reading. I remember my neices and nephews read the first one, and they couldn't wait for the next one to come out. Getting a kid to read a 600 page book is pretty awesome.
On the other hand, 1984 is a depressing book written by a failed socialist who had no faith in humanity. His protagonist is a worm and you really don't feel anything when they break him.
