First of all a book should never be banned because they are a way for people to express themselves. Books give meaning and people’s point of views. Most people want to band books because they are the opposite of their point of views or beliefs and his is not fair. Alot of the good books out here are banned such as; the bridge to terrabithea, Harry potter, and Chronicles of Narnia. All of these books were banned for the same reason. They are all said to criticize and question other people’s religion. Harry potter was about wizards and involved witch craft. People said that this book represented Satanism when it just simple talked about people in another realm. This book had nothing to do with other people’s religion. People said that the chronicles of Narnia and the Bridger to terrabithea questioned religion. But these books had nothing to do with this. These were just book that involved people with imaginations. These books are made to broaden people’s horizons and not think about the bad things that go on in our earth today. But many people do not appreciate this type of work or creativity. I think it is wrong to ruin things for the people who are interested in this book.
Another reason why books should not be banned is because the main causes of banned books are parents. Many parents do not like their children to read books that are inappropriate, but to ban a book is insane. If a parent does not want their child to read certain books than they should take them from the child. This is simple. If another parent wants their child to read this book then that is their judgment. It is not good to ban a book just because of the fact that it contains bad language because many books like this are just real. Many people in society curse and this just makes the book sound real. An example of a book being banned for the wrong reasons is the color purple. I would say this because of the fact that this is an excelled book because it is educational but it just has cursing. Many books send great messages but people who are not good readers get stuck on the little things.
Then there are books that are banned because people do not want society to realize the truth. Many books talk about things that really go on in society and make some people look bad. Books can give people can give people strong opinions and make people criticize others. An example of this type of book is Huckleberry Finn. This book was banned because people said that it degraded black people because of the slavery in the book and it also used the "N" word. But this is not the real reason why he book was banned. I believe that the book was banned because of the fact that it made white people look like monsters, showed that whites and blacks were equal, and that slavery should end. The stand is another book that was banned. The reason said for it being banned was because it represented Satanism, and had violence. But this is not the true reason why the author of this book "Steven King" had criticized the government before and also the book scares people because it talked about a diseased sent out by the government that wiped out the nation.
In conclusion religious views should not limit freedom of speech, Parents should be the ones responsible for their children not the government, and the truth shall set you free. With this as Americans. We need to teach parents to be responsible. We need to practice separation of church and state and value our freedom. We need to practice telling the truth.

Of mice and men questions
Between the line
What is a characteristic that many of the characters seem to display through out the whole story?
I would have to say loneliness and the need for a friend. George always makes the comparison of how he and Lenny are different from all of the other men because they have each other. Through out the story as it goes on Crooks, candy, and Curleys wife admit to being lonely. Crooks because he is black and no one respects him. Curleys wife because Curley isolates her from every one and he is never around. Candy because he lost his only companion the old dog. Unlike normal people with companions they easily open up t strangers for friendship. But at the end of the story changes when Lenny died. He was now alone.
In the story what type of symbol does Curley’s wife represent?
Curley's wife represents the typical woman of the early 1900’s; weak, alone, and incapable of doing anything for her self. This is how woman were portrayed in this time. They did not have a say in anything and were under the power of men. Curley was very controlling of his wife and did not want her to talk to anyone but him. So this made her feel lonely. She is incapable of doing anything for her self because Curley always wants her to stay in the house. Because she lives this type of life style this makes her look weak and defenceless.
How is the motif of violence foreshadowed in the story?
Well, violence is all throughout the story from the start. Even
When Lenny pets the mouse and kills it. This sets off a chain of events it also leads up to when Curley's wife was killed. The girl getting her dress torn, the mouse getting crushed in Lenny's hand, Curley getting his hand broke all led up to one thin. The death of Curley's wife. Also another event that had a lot of violence was George's decision to kill Lenny. What foreshadows this is when candy had to make his decision to get his dog killed by Carson. Carson regretted this afterwards because his dog was his main companion and he became lonely. I believe this because when George shot Lenny
He regretted it because now he is alone.
What is one of the themes of this story?
To me the theme of the story is that dreams are impossible. No one in the movie gets to live his or her dream. Let's take Curley, his wife, Crooks, and George and Lenny. These characters all share one thing in common. They all had a dream that in some way became impossible. Crooks although he was bitter had the dream of hoeing the beautiful gardens. This was made impossible for him because he was black and also crippled. Curley had a dream of becoming a professional boxer, but this was made impossible when Lenny had broken every bone in his hand. Curley's wife had a dream of becoming a movie star, but when she had realized that she could not be this she had to settle for Curley. Last the main characters George and Lenny did a bad thing and was killed this dream had faded away with him. It was said by Crooks that such paradise and freedom does not exist in this society.
Beyound the line
Does Curley equal up to a real man?
No I do not believe that Curley equals up to a real man. there are reasons for days to prove to prove this, but I have a few. Curley is very materialistic and he is not humble. He does not have good values and was a pervert. When you read this essay you will be given reason to believe this.
First off, the reason that I have to believe that Curley is not a real man is because he is materialistics. He values material things before his own family. For example his wife’s looks. She is a pretty girl. But he does not look at her for who she is on the inside. She is more like a trophy or an achievement to him than a llifge comnpanion. He is very protective of her like she is a thing and does not love her. At the end of the book when she was killed by Lenny instead of staying with her body he went to go kill Lenny and had a different view of the situation.
Another reason that Curley is not a real man is because of the fact that he is selfish and narsisistic. Curley does not worry anyone but him self. Curley is more worried about maintining a good reptation and keeping fear in the other men. When ever something would happen regarding his wife instead of being worried about her he would try to look tough. Curley also did not care about any of the workers and treated them like crap.
Last, Curley is not a humble man and is very egotistic. He believes that because he has a beautiful wife, His father is the boss, and he is a box that he is better than every one. The other men are viewed by him as scum. He has no respect and tries to pick fights with the other men. This shows that he has no respect for him self and is not a real man.
Curley is far from a real man. He does not respect him self or anyone around him. He is also not a good human being. Curley is an example of what type of person not to be.

Does fashion affect teenagers in highschool?
"i would not want to hang with any one who can't dress because it will make me look like a nut."
This is a common feeling of many teenagers among us. Over the years trends have changed tremendously. From Levis, to Cani jeans, to Hollister. ABercrombie, H&m,Hollister,Polo, if you ain't got this than your not following the latest trends. Does fashion truly affect a students identity in high school? This is a topic that I have decided to investigate.
From what i see teenagers classify themselves into different groups; popular(the highest), normal (middle/Unbarred)and weirdo's (uncool/picked on). Some members of these groups discriminate against each other. The main factor of this separation is fashion. People tend to hang with people who look and dress like them. Image basically changes your identity. If "south pole" is your whole wardrobe you are going to get teased, and if top notch clothing like "Abercrombie" is your whole wardrobe then you are going to be admired. This is just the way that it goes. I had interviewed someone from the "inn crowd" and the response that they gave me was; "don't wear old name brands because you will get clowned, I may even clown you." Which means that you will get teased and laughed at. Then I had interviewed some one from the "inn crowd." They acted like a witness and told me; "I see people every day get flamed because of what they wear. This means that they are harassed. Last I was in shock because I was able to hear from some one in the weirdo crowd who said; "I don't care about them people who are in the "inn crowd" they always got something to say about the clothes I wear (rocawear, south pole, and g-unit). This proves that clothing affects who you hang out with in school and how you interact with others.
From observations I can see that respect is something that many teenagers thrive on. There is a certain level of respect that many teenagers want. Some more than others. The main reason why many teenagers are self conscious about what they wear is because they want to be respected. " If I wear clothes that look a mess I would get get teased" This is what one teenager said to me and many other responses that were given to me were similar to this. One thing that many teenagers fear is humiliation and having a bad reputation. Rather than being known as a loser most teens want to be known as the ish, they want to be cool. " I would not want to be known as the dengy girl but as the girl who got lay's." This means that rather than have a bad image this person would rather have a decent image. For the most part many teens want to have a good reputation and want to be respected.
Fashion can represent a number of things. It can represent how a person feels, where a person is from , and also how much style a person has. Being that teens are young they want to really express their style. In high school it almost seems as if the ability to have your own style is a talent. " I don't just weare what I wear to fit in but I also wear it because i want people to see how I express myself." See I have also had many statements like this one. According to many teens in my school self expression can reflect on who you are, and your personalty. "It is not what you wear but how you wear it" In many cases there are people who turn things thet are a mess into something that is the best. In school these people are called trend setters. These people bend the rules of the trends and make their own. Also there are people who just don't care about the trends but just make themselves look good no matter what they wear. That is because your attitude can change it all. "Certain people can pull off certain things" said by a trendsetter in my class. This information proves that name brand does matter but only to a certain extent. Also it makes it known that in high school style is what really counts.
Here are a few tips for every teen currently enrolled in high school. If you are into name brands and want to be "inn" wear all of the latest trends and keep everything that you wear up to date. Wanna be a trend setter then wear all of your own styles and dress don'ts up into do's (be different). And if you dint care about fashion then be you and wear what you want. Remember your whole appearance depends on your attitude and confidence.

My step into maturity
How do you define maturity? I define it as a true step into adulthood. Vigorous amounts of traumatizing events have changed my whole attitude towards life. The ability to be polite to others lives within my soul. A new urge for a bright future has come along.
First and foremost, I have matured because of the events which have taken place. In the story “Marigold’s” by Eugenia Collier when Lizabeth’s family began to go through turmoil with the great depression her father began to cry. He felt the loss of his independence and broke into pieces. When Lizabeth had seen this she had changed. Compassion and understanding began to run through her veins. She no longer had the mind of a little girl. This displays an example of a traumatic change, something that happens and changes a person’s life forever. I had gone through something very similar to that. Through her years my mother physically displayed independent qualities until she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The moment that I saw her cry is the moment that my life had changed. I had stepped into adult hood.
After I received this maturity and responsibility a plan followed behind it. My future had become an important subject and my main focus. Dealing with these thoughts I knew that I had to make a change. Preparations had to be made for my main goal- college. My priorities had to change. No more playing around, or immaturity. My life became based upon my studies. Grades lower than an “A” became unacceptable and a “B” meant harder work. Dedication had been added to my vocabulary. Life took an aimless past and changed its path to the right direction.
Finally, I advanced on one of my qualities, the ability to be polite. During my childhood, I knew how to be polite and demonstrated some aspects of it but I did not have it down pact. A great deal of growth had to take place, just like in the story “Marigolds” where Lizabeth had to grow up. Much of the experiences in her life happened to me. Well spoken explains one detail of me because I can express the way that I feel with a variety of words. Professionalism describes my whole demeanour because I realize that there is a time and place for everything. Compassion is what really adds to this because I can embrace anyone in my blanket of care. Because of the fact that I have all of these abilities I appear very attractive in many people’s eyes.
From reading this text you now know the true meaning of maturity. You also have a great example of a person who demonstrates the meaning, me. In life events can change a person’s character and make them stronger. You have just seen how a little girl was transformed into a vibrant young woman.

In her shoes
She followed her heart from the start.
She thinks about it it wasn't smart.
She lives life with regrets.
When sje loooks in the past she never forgets.
A smile does not tell a thing.
Cuz inside her soul her sadness sings.
She prays to god that this will change.
But something within feels so strange.
The walls around her are built so high.
If this goes on they will touch the sky.
She needs some guidence needs some trust.
If tthis dont happen she will bust.
Her sun dont shine, her moon wont glow.
Some things in life we'll never know.
But what this girl is going through.
You'll never understand until it happens yo you.
She thinks about it it wasn't smart.
She lives life with regrets.
When sje loooks in the past she never forgets.
A smile does not tell a thing.
Cuz inside her soul her sadness sings.
She prays to god that this will change.
But something within feels so strange.
The walls around her are built so high.
If this goes on they will touch the sky.
She needs some guidence needs some trust.
If tthis dont happen she will bust.
Her sun dont shine, her moon wont glow.
Some things in life we'll never know.
But what this girl is going through.
You'll never understand until it happens yo you.
We real cool poem review
Not much into fantasy, want something real, something that will leave you thinking then read this poem. It goes by the name “we real cool” and Gwendolyn Brooks created it. You will enjoy this poem for so many reasons. Rhythm in the poem was created through the use of grammar and vocabulary. A life like vibe was given off from it because of the use of reality. My mind was left wondering because of all of the conflicting parts.
First off, I was astonished by the lack of grammar and vocabulary used in this poem. Most of the sentences are written short, simple, and incomplete. “We cool” has the most length out of all of the sentences. Ever sentence begins with we ad none o the verbs are conjugated properly. As I look at this poem I feel as though the writer did this n purpose, it adds the meaning.
Another thing that made me chooses this poem as the use of reality. Because I am into realistic poetry I seek out events that relate to real life occurrences. This poem talks about cool people, people at the top, and have fun that end up living a short life. When I read this poem it felt as if I could see every thing going on through the writer’s eyes. “We real cool” and “we die soon” sum up the whole meaning of this poem. By adding these lines together pictures in my head began to pop up.
Last but not least, this poem had man conflicting lines that kept me locked into reading. The subtitle “seven at a golden shovel” conflicted with it’s self the most. In order to die at a golden shovel one must have lived large. But as the poem goes on it make me feel limited to two life styles. I could either live a long uncool boring nobody life or I could live a big time, cool, exciting life. When I finished reading I was left wondering what life style I would want to live.
Your taste for life like poetry will be satisfied the moment after you read this poem. You will have; a rhythm built upon grammar, reality that will grab you in and conflicting meanings that will cause uncontrollable thoughts. Best to believe you will be left lusting for more.

my nhd reflection
During NHD this year I had learned how to add historical context to my project. To me historical context was the hardest part but now that I learned how to do this NHD is a piece of cake. I learned that all work has to be completed through hard work, dedication, and determination. I really didn’t learn too much except more about my individual. Last year gave me a good head start so that I could know what is expected of me.
This year on my project I had really worked hard to get a. But that is not what I got instead I received an 88. I looked at the grading rubric and followed the procedures but some of my teacher’s marks did not match the standard of the rubric. I was angered. Some things that I can improve in my project are the clarity of the project. I had 2 glue stains and I needed to fix them.
This doesn’t even come close to the grade in which I scored for NHD last year.
Last year I received an A and I felt a though this years project was superior over last years project. In conclusion NHD is so confusing and I never want to do it again.I had better historical context than last year and also my project was more creative than last year.
