This article was about when district 41 took "perks of being a wallflower" out of schools. this article was in the Chicago tribune. A person in the article was Erica Nelson. She thought that books like "Perks of Being a Wallflower" might be appropriate to some kids and not others. She did not think it was right to ban the book because for only some of the people that have read the book, it might have been to inappropriate then when other people read it, it did not seem inappropriate. The school is keeping books away from all children when only some the book is not appropriate for. at the end of the article it said that because the students and parents did not want it banned the district is reevaluating the book and if it should be banned.
One craft move that the author, Quan Trough made was that she used alot of quotes in her stories. She usesd meanigful quotes that related to the problem at hand. She used quote from members that banned the books and people that were agaist banned books. The quotes helped the article by giving both sides of the argument. The quotes also gave me a real idea of what the people were like with this ban. There were thirteen quotes in the article and they were all meaningful.
