Why is rumble fish banned?

Answer 1

Because in the book there is a lot of violence, alcohol, law breaking, and in one scene they go to a adult dirty movie. So some schools might not want to choose that book for students to read.

Answer 2

"Rumble Fish" is not typically banned, but it has been challenged due to its depiction of violence and use of profanity. Some schools have restricted access to the book because it deals with themes like gang violence and existentialism, which some may find inappropriate for certain age groups.
