    Introduction From the opening line, author Loretta Kelley shows not only her passion for mathematics, but also how she feels mathematics is not being taught properly by most instructors. Kelly’s appeals to her audience by telling how many current math teachers do not include the history of math in their curriculum. Kelly feels this is an area where instructors can help to make math interesting to the masses.

    In the novel, Warriors Don’t Cry, the author told her story of life in Central High School. The author, Melba Pattillo Beals, is telling her feeling toward the hatred her and eight other African American teenagers went through. She went further by telling their actions. The setting of the story took place in Little Rock Arkansas during the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s. I believe that this book should be appropriate for tenth graders because it will teach us how people was treated, the difference between the school system from then and now, and all about the racism that was happening.…

    1. The setting for the short novel, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, is in the state of Mississippi, in the early 1930’s, which means that it is right during the middle of the Great Depression. I believe the setting is very important to the book because in Mississippi during those times there was a lot of racism and racial segregation, the African Americans people could not do the same things that Caucasian, white people could do. Also the setting is important because if they author had put the book set in a place like New York City the racism would not be the same as if she set the book in a place like Mississippi or really anywhere in the South. In addition the setting is important because if it had been set in the…

    I can’t say I’m astonished by the State Board of Education’s decision to ban “To Kill a Mockingbird”. After all, what can you expect from such short-minded people? Such people that regrettably are put in the position to judge what books are moral and fit to be read by young adults. Is it the book’s display of what really happens in the world, or the book’s lessons of protecting innocence and standing up for what you see as right, that makes this book so disgraceful, that we must shelter young minds from?…
