There isn't many people in many area that read and in reading books like Speak, it would give me a chance to see a different perspective and sit back and think about things before I do them.<br /><br />And because of whats-his-face's 'editorial' of Speak, it's made me want to read it, just to see what it's all about and get back at the asshole.<br /><br />Also, i love who you repeated 'shut the fuck up' to the bastard.

It bothers me when someone wants to ban any book.<br /><br />Speak is about rape. A book shouldn't be banned because it's about a touchy subject. It's important for children to read and learn about these things. We can't sheild children from everything or they won't be prepared to go out into the world.<br /><br />ellen_r_hudson@yahoo.caAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-71754886518719959242010-09-27T17:54:03.060-04:002010-09-27T17:54:03.060-04:00This is a great, powerful post.

It's sad how someone would easily dismiss a book that is as powerful and inspirational as Speak, a book where a lot of people have found comfort because of the difficult things they had to go through in life. I wish this man would have taken the time to truly understand what the book aims to achieve with the story it is trying to tell, before making such conclusions about it.<br /><br />vesipisaroita [at] gmail [dot] comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920883973322604270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-61873811150989963392010-09-25T23:38:16.207-04:002010-09-25T23:38:16.207-04:00This is such a strong post, I almost cried. For wh...This is such a strong post, I almost cried. For what you and the girls went through. Because I realized I'm not the only one who went through these kinds of things after I read Speak, and I got the courage to speak up, myself, after I had read it. I connected with the book so profoundly that every time this topic is mentioned, my blood boils. Sometimes I feel personally attacked, as if Scroggins is slandering ME for the issues that I've had to deal with. It makes me a-damned-shamed to call myself Christian and be lumped in with bozo's like him who advocate religion and the pious teenage soul. Not everyone is perfect. No one will live the best of lives. Just because Scroggins was spared the heart ache others have, he has no right to deny the right to read this book for teenagers who ARE going through similar things. To err is human, and WE ARE HUMANS. We will make mistakes, or mistakes will be made to us. I'd rather be knowledgeable about something and have an outlet to share my grief than be completely in the dark. <br /><br />This entire thing is just... ugh. It makes me RAGE. <br /><br />http://twitter.com/bookistafreeze/status/25553874191<br /><br />angelmistress[at]hotmail[dot]comKristina Barnes♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/08979145078007906681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-63198832793213302212010-09-25T02:26:53.574-04:002010-09-25T02:26:53.574-04:00Great Post!
