Book banning
Do you know what I'm going to do next saturday? This is a title of a Dr. Seuss book. The author of the book was Helen Palmer, who was Dr. Seuss's first wife. This book was banned mostly because of its dangerous pursuits that it showed. In some of the pictures they showed the little kid using guns that the U.S. marines provided for him to use.
The author of the book took her life in 1967. You could tell she wanted to kill herself because the book had many suicidal ideas like, "Im going to blow my head off!" Kind of obvious. The book was banned sometime in the 1950's. At first the story seems to be about a cool kid who is going to do some really cool stuff on saturday. It is actually about guns and suicide.
I think that it shouldn't be a banned book, just not a book for kids. Thats just sad. Well to tell the truth in a way it sounds like the Christmas Story, movie 'your gonna blow your nose off!' or something like that
