@publicfrenemy,

This was such an interesting article to read. I knew that there were banned books, but I have never really investigated them. I am a huge advocate for education and believe in the power of reading. While it was a shame to see these books mentioned as being banned, it is not a surprise. It is disappointing how the government tries to dictate to the masses what they can or cannot do. They would rather us all be blind sheep following them then to be our own unique selves.

I appreciate the topic you chose and how well you conveyed it in words. As a society, it is easy to assume that those who go to jail are lost causes. You clearly took a terrible situation and made the best of it; kudos to you. I am a firm believer that we can take life’s mistakes and turn them into learning opportunities for ourselves and others. I wish you only success. Thank you for sharing your story. It has definitely opened my eyes.
