Schools should not ban books. These are the reasons schools should not ban books. My first reason is, Changing books can can effect the past and the future. History can vary if books are changed.

The past can have a huge effect on the future

CHARACTERS - The main character throughout most of the book is “Verity”, or Julie. She is actually telling the story of Maddie, however, although her presence seems to still be main focus throughout the story. Halfway through the book, however, it switched to Maddie’s point of view, or “Kittyhawk”. With both of the girls, you can see the changes in them. They both develop greatly and you can see it through them by just looking at what they are afraid of. It mentions once in the story that Julie
hard. In the book Speak by Laurie Halle Anderson I found three different examples of courage. In this book Melinda Sordino, David Petrakis and Melinda, again all show courage.

I, as well was an avid reader, due to my exposure to all of the books that can be found around the house, and in the bookshelf downstairs.
