2nd post for A Wrinkle in Time-Banned book

I agree that the book teaches the readers that being different from everyone else are a good thing because it is an important trait of human characteristics of having something unique that makes from being the same as everyone else.

Even though this is a good book to read even for kids, it is consider a banned book. People have challenged this book to be banned because religious reasons like the use of witchcraft in the book. In the book, there is use the use of a crystal ball, time traveling, and telepathy not to mention that Mrs. Who, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Not only is the Mrs. W’s the only witches in the books, but there is a medium who is dresses in a “beautiful pale mauve silk, and a long, flowing, purple satin gown, In her hands was a crystal ball (96)." There are some versus from the bible on page 77. There are also other references to versus from the bible People who believe in religion would think it is offensive to use versus in a science fiction that has some witch craft in the book since witch craft. Witch craft is consider sinful because people who believe in religion think it is worshiping the devil. The book is mostly just banned for is because the use of magic in the book and the religious content too. By having some religion in the book with a mix of science fiction makes it show a bad example of religion.

I don’t think that A Wrinkle in Time should be a banned book. The only reason it is banned or challenge is because of religion but there is nothing really bad in the content. I get why some people wouldn’t like the content in the book but they shouldn’t challenge it just because they don’t like it.
