Essay 3: Banned Books: Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Read the book and write a research paper answering the following questions:
What is censorship? How does the idea of censorship connect to the subject of banning/challenging books?
Why has your novel been banned? Provide at least three examples from the book and in-depth analysis of these examples. Consider the themes and ideas the author was trying to convey as well as why people found the content objectionable.
How is/was the book defended by the author and/or other readers?
Do you think the novel should be banned or challenged? Why or why not? Support your opinion with examples from the book and your research on censorship. Be sure to consider the context in which it was challenged (i.e. high school curriculum, public library, etc.)
