Freedom of speech, a basic right and amendment that most students who grow up in the United States come to learn and take pride in having from a young age. Many of us take this right for granted at times, what we do not realize is that there are so many places around the world that are continuously fighting for this innate right. Although we lack the fortitude at times, it is a vital right to all of us in our identities and abilities to grow as people and become who we are and allow ourselves to…

its references to drugs, smoking and alcohol, offensive language, sexually explicit, and being unsuited for age group. But should it be banned? “A Stolen Life” should not be banned in any school because of what it has to offer to the reader. The first reason why this book should not be banned is because of how it might help those who are currently being abused.

The scenario is about requesting Roger M. Agro, the manager of Countryfield Fair, to allocate time for interview to collect information about the 150th annual Countryfield Fair. College for America (2016) states that “fair is a popular local tradition” which can be reported and run in the Local Interest Section.

Thus is ideally creating a constructive environment in which the ideas and history present in the book may be discussed with people of diverse backgrounds, rather than arguing about the first dimensional aspects of the book. So that this way you can discuss, for example, why John Stienbeck's Of Mice and Men was so heavily challenged along with Kurt Vonnegut's…

should of done was ban the book because it is only one book and there are a million other books out there for students to read. As of 9 states have been recorded trying to ban the book by asking all the school boards.Only because of the inappropriate nature of the book.This attempt by all nine states have not fully reached there goal.I don't think that the states should have a say in banning the book.I think it should be up to the parents of the child whether if they want their child to read…
