I feel that this novel was banned due to its content of drug use‚ sex‚ and crime. Although the novel is not explicit in these areas the subject matter is still present. I also feel that this novel was censored due to its portrayal of racism of both the white man against the black man and the black man against the white man. White people are portrayed as devils and there is a constant theme of separation and discrimination. This book holds ideals that most people may find digressive in the sense that

By the time I was six years old‚ I had my parents sold on piano lessons. From that day on‚ my music books weighed more than my school books‚ and practice became a way of life.

I consider mathematics as a very important tool in life. My first real memories with mathematics began in my elementary years. I use to bring home assignments of several pages in order to master the basic arithmetic principles.

of an autobiography. Lois Simmie accomplishes Excellency in foreshadowing the event in the prologue. But not completely throwing it away until much further in the book. If this were a novel‚ the sequence of events would change completely‚ but it’s not‚ this is an autobiography‚ the order of events do not have to be precise to be followed 100% all the way through.
