Blog #8

Discuss the reason(s) you chose the book that will become the topic of your third essay. Did you choose it for the story? the illustrations? the controversial topic it covers? Is it a book that you can relate to on a personal level or one that you think would be helpful to someone that you know?

I chose the author Shel Silver, and where the sidewalk ends. I chose this because I am puzzled as to why this would be a controversial book. I would like to know more about why people chose to fight the battles they fight. I think there is so much more that we could be doing with our time than fighting against children's books. It is a waste of time.
