In addition, this developments in Jem’s feeling suggest that people can change toward others that differ from us getting to know them better.

Though the leaders of the crusade groups were children, they were clearly influential, but their followers were children, which means they are easily influenced. Parents did try to impose house arrest, but it seems like the parents would just lock the door instead of explaining why the children should avoid the journey. Stephen did have a good idea, as going to the king first would confirm the legality of leading the crusade, but if the king had told them that they legally could not go on the crusade, instead of just telling them to go home, they would have obeyed. The worst offender is probably the Church, namely Pope Innocent III, who had direct, face to face interaction with Nicholas’ group, and he simply told them to go home.

Jeannette and her brother Brian find a new playing spot in a shack and they accidentally burn it down. I think this book is banned because the children are trapped in the burning shack and the dad does not punish them and he makes sure that no one knows that it is them who set the fire.

This novel should not be banned because teens are mature enough to handle any mature content this book has, it is a classic book that many enjoy and that students should be able to experience, and banning this book is unnecessary censorship and pushes beliefs onto others. Teens are mature enough to handle the indelicate content presented to them in The Outsiders.
