POWER TO THE INDIVIDUAL!
The characters go through a tough time with the people in there societies because they had a different thought and different way of thinking, which many apposed of. They of course didn't let it bother them and tried their hardest to get others to see the way that they saw. They changed their society the moment the voiced or showed their way of thinking. I believe that none of these books are too idealistic, not now, not when we can use these books to inspire each other. Anyone can change anything they want. All they have to have is complete determination.
forbidden topics
are there any topics that shouldn't be taught in school?
there are probably a few things that shouldn't be taught in a school, but come on its a school a place of "learning" where kids are taught and kids who learn. why excluded valuable time to teaching kids everything that they might need to know before going out the the real world. if we dont learn how will we know that something we did and get punished for it was truely wrong?

huck finn debate
my team was very organized i believe, on the first day that the teams were selected we each had a part. we had talkers and researchers.
my part was good, but i was throw off guard when mr schriber said that someone new had to talk for the rebuttal.
the person who stood out the most would have to be silvino and thien, because they both took immediate action.
the one who stood out the most to me on the other teem would have to be michael.
my opinion on the topic of the debate stays the same as it did before

to teach of not to teach the book
the arguments usually revolve around the issues of racism. some people think that kids are too young to learn about racism and how it really was back in the day, and others think its a perfect opportunity for kids to see racism in a different way and through the perspective of a young child. i take the side of the where the learning part of the argument. i think its better to learn about what's going on because it still happens even now. if we educate the kids now we might be able to stop all of the prejudging that every one takes on.

banned in the USA
the patterns for the banned books were banned because of how sexual it was or because it deals with homosexuality and or sex ED! come on! we learn this stuff in school why cant they have it in a book? and homosexuality.... in most neighborhoods you will find a gay couple. there really is no big deal about it any more, so it shouldn't matter if its in a book or not.
the lowest of animals
if there were to be a chance that i could change some part of the human nature, i really don't know which one i would actually choice to change. but possibly one for a starter i would start with the enjoyment of revenge. to get ride of it. thats why most wars start, why most fights at school all ways end up with a few kids with bloody noses and maybe broken bones. they do it out of anger. you can be angery but tis what you do with it that makes people scared of the emotion.
revenge will always hurt others.
satire
satire is like sarcasm its funny in an opposite sort of way. the web site is making fun of recent news by adding exaggerations. they make it funny. to a point you don't really know if there telling the actual truth!
