With the presentation on “Banned Books,” as part
of a reading project," 12th and 11th graders initiated an Open
Gathering in the educational field of Foreign Languages. Karine Gomtsyan, a
12th grader, hosted the event and greeted the interested audience with opening
remarks. She elaborated on the reasons why certain books are banned and
featured "The
Lord of the Flies" by English novelist William Golding as an
example. Following her, Syuzi Melikyan and Maria Dishakjian presented "Animal
Farm" by English novelist George Orwell and “The Stranger” by French-Algerian novelist and philosopher Albert Camus respectively
and discussed the reasons behind their censorship. Due to the influx of
questions for the speakers and time constraints preventing other scheduled
presentations, it was decided to hold another event in May. This subsequent
gathering will provide an opportunity for other students to present their
chosen banned books. Read the blog post for details.
