Ulysses<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ulysses<\/em>\u00a0(1922) by James Joyce is set in Dublin, Ireland during the day of June 16, 1904. The novel begins at eight o\u2019clock when one of the main characters, Stephen Dedalus, wakes up for work.\u00a0 Stephen teaches history at Garrett Deasy\u2019s boys\u2019 school. Dedalus meets Deasy, who wants Stephen to take an editorial to his friends at the newspaper company.\u00a0 That same morning, Leopold Bloom brings his wife Molly her mail and breakfast in bed. At each following hour of the day, Stephen and Leopold\u2019s actions are noted.\u00a0 Bloom and Dedalus finally meet at the end of the novel.<\/p>\n

The novel\u00a0Ulysses<\/em>\u00a0is one of the most challenged and controversial books in history; it was banned in the United States until 1934.\u00a0 U.S. District Judge John M. Woolsey presided over the court case\u00a0United States vs. One Book Called Ulysses<\/em>\u00a0in 1933. He ruled the novel was not pornographic and, a decade after it was published in Ireland,\u00a0Ulysses<\/em>\u00a0would legally debut in the United States. However, it was quickly banned in communities in both the US and the United Kingdom to the novel\u2019s strong sexual themes.\u00a0 Some groups, such as the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, even took legal action to not allow this book to be sold in the United States.\u00a0\u00a0Ulysses<\/em>\u00a0still resides on the top 100 most challenged books in the United States and Apple, the company that sells iPhones and iPads, even declined to sell the novel when it was turned into a digital comic because of the presence of nudity.<\/p>\n

1984<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1984<\/em>\u00a0(1984) by George Orwell describes a society under a dictatorship.\u00a0\u00a0 The novel opens when Winston Smith, one of the main characters, is upset about the control that the Party has on the nation of Oceania.\u00a0 Winston illegally buys a diary in which to write his thoughts about resisting the party, but he gets frightened when Julia, a dark haired girl at the Ministry of Truth, begins to seem suspicious of him. Smith becomes interested in one of the powerful Party members, O\u2019Brien, who Winston thinks is actually a member of the secret Brotherhood.\u00a0 The Brotherhood, whose leader is Emmanuel Goldstein, is a secret and legendary group that plans to overthrow The Party one day.\u00a0 Winston is called to O\u2019Brien\u2019s apartment with Julia to talk about the Brotherhood, not knowing that he being betrayed.\u00a0 O\u2019Brien, a Party spy, has soldiers carry out Winston to a place called the Ministry of Love, where he is tortured and brainwashed.\u00a0 When O\u2019Brien is just about to have rats strapped to Winston\u2019s face, Winston loses his composure and tells O\u2019Brien to torture Julia and not him.\u00a0 This moment shows how Winston is broken. He sacrifices his love for his life, conceding his political orientation as well as his personal morals.<\/p>\n

Many who read\u00a01984<\/em>\u00a0seem to think that events in the novel parallel similar problems faced by societies during the twentieth century. The need for privacy, ongoing sexual repression, and the rise of nationalism are all key themes that strike a chord in readers. After the novel was translated into Russian, it was soon banned from the U.S.S.R, since many there thought it related to Joseph Stalin\u2019s teachings. In 1981, a Florida county challenged the novel for its \u201cpro-communist\u201d acts and explicit sexual details.\u00a0 Amazon deleted\u00a01984\u00a0<\/em>from their Kindle database in 2009, which caused them to be accused of censorship. However, the novel\u00a01984<\/em>\u00a0was still under copyright protection until the year 2020, which was the reason they deleted the book from their website. To this day,\u00a01984<\/em>\u00a0continues to be removed from circulation in school districts.<\/p>\n
