I believe this for the following reasons. One reason is that the community is largely made up of the parents of students, and the parents have a considerable amount of power over their children.

    Who is it up to, to ban and censor books? This question has not only puzzled me but millions of others. Books are challenged and banned every year based on controversial issues like; sexism, violence, profanity, sexuality, and racism. I believe that books should be censored and only certain people should be able to censor them. My personal viewpoint is that guardians, educators, and oneself should censor books.

I wasn't really expecting anything on this book, so I was honestly surprised with just how beautiful the story is on the inside. Remembrance wasn't something mind-blowing or life-changing, but I found reading it addicting and has kept my interest throughout the end. It has saved me from my reading slump (hallelujah!), and that was really an A for…

    second grade, I set out to read as many books as I could from the school library with the goal of completing them all before leaving for junior high. About halfway through this quest, I stumbled upon comic books tucked away in a dusty corner. This is where I discovered superheros; Captain America was my favorite. By the time I was nine years old and the movie came out, I finished reading all my meager school had to offer. Who knew something as trivial as a comic book character could help shape…
