Hi I am Marshawn William Tomlin, i was born September 18, 1993. I have lived in Chicago,IL all my life. I travel a lot with my family all across this amazing country. One thing I do want to do in my life time and very soon is to travel outside the country like many members of my family. World history is something everyone must know, this is something I strongly believe in. I would also call my self a kind of history buff. If we don't know how everyone has contributed to today's society then we want be able to make connections with people all around the world.

What are some of the reasons that books are banned in high schools? Some of the books are banned because of the sexual content it has and that really turns parents off. The second reasondis the graphic material in the books. Third would be the way it made one child feel or react after reading the book. Do you agree with any of these reasons? Explain.

When it comes to sexual matters they should be able ... read more
