Darkness too visible

BY: Kennedy leach 803

    Megan cox Gurdon the author of darkness too visible states that fiction is too dark for teens. she wants us to know why teen books should be banned.

     Megan cox Gurdan wants me to feel that teen fiction is to dark for teens by saying"But a careless young reader, who seeks out depravity , will find himself surrounded by images not of joy or beauty, but of damage, brutality and losses of the most horrendous kinds." 

      I think that i have to disagree with her. I think that books should not be around kids that don't want to grow up immature, but for teenagers i think that they have already matured enough not to stay stuff that may be harm full to some people. Something i noticed after reading this article was that some people think that teen fiction is not for people and that some people think that it is fine

Michael is considered one of the best pitchers in the little league. He has the fastest pitch of all time for his age. His knuckle and curveball have the best movements. Michael has had good and bad moments. He has thrown many shutouts in his career. On the other hand, one thing he needs to work on is the control of his fastball. He has hit people with this pitch before. But his most memorable moment was when he threw a perfect game.
Michael needs to work on the control of his fastball. As he has hit many batters before. But at the plate this time was Micheal’s biggest rival. It was Carlos. Carlos has hit Michael more than anyone else has. Michael is not known for his accuracy. But, he is not known for hitting many batters before either. Carlos stepped up to the plate. He looked very frightened. He was shaking. Michael looked at Carlos and made a grin. Michael threw the first pitch right down the middle strike one. Second pitch swing and a miss. Strike two. The third pitch was outside ball one. The next pitch was up and in. ball two next pitch went behind Carlos. 3-2 next pitch, it hits Carlos in the helmet. Carlos dugout came running out and chased Michael then Micheal’s team came out as Michael looked over at Carlos He was in shock. It was the longest knockout pitch in history.
Michael has thrown many shutouts in his career. He has some good games and bad games. But today it would be one of he greatest pitching performances any pitcher has and will ever do. Michael threw a perfect game. After the first 3 innings his confidence went up. He had thrown 7 strikeouts so far up at bat was Carlos first pitch was swung and was a groundnut 3 outs. Now in the 6^th inning the final batter was Carlos surprise right. First pitch was a fastball to the left of the strike zone but got the call strike on. But the next 2 pitches were incredible. Second pitch was a curveball that looked like it was going to hit his knees bu it went up into the strike zone. Third pitch probably the best pitch he has ever thrown. It was a knuckle that was about to hit Carlos in the same spot as last time but it curved into the top right part of the strike zone. Strike three. As the pitch was thrown Carlos flew to the side of the other side. Micheal’s team was laughing at Carlos and they started cheering. Michael has just threw his first perfect game.
Michael is probably the best pitcher in the little league. He has it all the fastest fastball for his age, the best movement on his curveball and knuckle ball, and confidence after pitching a perfect game. He may not like Carlos to much but he is still one of the best pitchers to ever play in the little league.
