Banned Book

Ulysses by James Joyce

The book I read is Ulysses by James Joyce. It is a very well organized book. The plot follows very tight to each other. The protaganist does not appear until Chapter 4, this is odd for a story but I think this is the best time for protaganist Leopold Bloom to appear in the story. First four Chapter focused on the antaganist Stephen Dedalus, with alot of coarse languages and homosexuality. From this book I learned we should just let things go by themself. We can not try to control everything around us in the world. The book was first being challenged on 1921 for "obscene, indecent, immoral or surrilous". In 1930, Random House took US government to court and won the right to publish the book. In 1934, Ulysses finally first found in the US's book store. This book talks alot about homosexuality, it has been banned because of that, but now, homosexual is consider "right" rather than before. For coarse languages, I think, every book has some swear languages, that is what makes books real and makes us feel like we are part of the story in the book. That is why I think it is a good book and we should not ban it.

Macbeth

Macbeth is a great story. After I watched Macbeth's film by Roman Polanski, I have a better understanding of Macbeth. The film is very well presented, it clearly shows the inside of those people, especially Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, they feel guilty of what they did, we as the readers can hear their thoughts and understand their fear. Roman Polanski presented this with well organized thoughts and I truely like Macbeth through his emotions. It makes me feel like I am part the story. I also learned, what is done by night appears by day. This means if you never want people to know the guilty things you did, you should not do it in the first place.
