Updated Trigger Warning Lists PSA

[Update] I've scheduled them to post every Friday, from 12/28/18 to 2/1/19.

Hey, everyone! Remember how I keep promising to post the updated versions to the first 6 trigger warning lists? I finished them like a month ago. And I'm finally getting around to posting them.

I figure I'll schedule them to post maybe once a week. I'll post in the order that I originally posted them. So it'll be Of Mice and Men, A Separate Peace, Huck Finn, Fahrenheit 451, Tuesdays With Morrie, and finally The Book Thief. As I've said before, I can't edit the posts that I've already made without messing up the formatting, so I'll be creating entirely new posts.

I also have the original trigger warning list for Animal Farm set to post later today.


Love always,
Sam

Fahrenheit 451 Trigger Warning List

Hey, everyone! As promised, I'm back with the trigger warning list for Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I actually finished this list a week and a half ago. I've been on a slight break since then, interrupted only by my choice to re-read the books I've already warned to check for things I missed the first time. I'm gonna be entirely honest--it was a lot. For the first two books (Of Mice and Men and A Separate Peace), at least. As I mentioned in my last post, I can't actually edit the posts I've already made without messing up the formatting, so I'll have to make separate posts for the updated versions. I've finished Of Mice and Men and A Separate Peace already and am currently working on Huck Finn. I'm not sure exactly when I'll be posting them, but rest assured that it will be within the next few weeks. And without further ado, here is the trigger warning list for Fahrenheit 451. I have each section of the list separated by the three parts in th...

[Updated] Of Mice and Men Trigger Warning List

Here is the updated version of the trigger warning list for Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I added a few new sections, and I think I did a pretty good job of not missing anything, but as always, don't take these lists as absolute. Even with a practiced eye, its very easy to miss things. I also changed the formatting so that it better matched the ones I created after. [Important: Please note that trigger warnings are not necessarily to make it so that you can just avoid the content. There is a fairly popular mistaken belief that trigger warnings are censorship. That is not true. Trigger warnings exist so that, if you are sensitive to the content, you are made aware of it before it occurs and surprises you. This gives you a chance to prepare yourself mentally before reading it so that it does not affect you as negatively as it might if you didn’t know that it was going to happen. Also, please note that if you rely on triggers for the shock-value or plot twists (aka, “Well I ca...

The Book Thief Trigger Warning List

Hi everyone! As promised, here is the trigger warning list for The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It is fairly long; the book is very long. As with the other books that don't number the chapters, I assigned numbers to each of the chapter titles.
