I am a local musician here in Honolulu Hawaii. I was originally born in California, but it wasn't warm and relaxing enough so I had to come here. I went to the university of Hawaii to study music. I graduated last year and now am working in an after school program for kids who want to learn blues guitar at the High School. It is a lot of fun. I have a record deal and I tour in the summers. I played in front of forty thousand people in Minnesota. Those are the best fans in the world. Minneapolis is the Rockinest city in the world! I recently played in chicago at the guitar festival with Eric Clapton and am currently working on more music. Hawaiians worship me and the girls scream when they see me. It's a good feeling and the feeling I get from the crowd drives me. I have some good friends and we like to drink and some of them do drugs. But not me... We party with some famous people. I once played beer pong with this guy that ended up being the king of some country. My friends and I also surf and travel around the world to make movies about the exotic places we visit. I live in a modest place on the ocean that faces the sunset. Beach parties happen on the regular and after a long night we can go to the top of a hill nearby to view the sunrise.

Dear Mr. Straw,
My name is Jake and i would like to ask you what your thoughts are about the book issue? In my opinion i think that they are educational. I think the books are a great way to inform the kids about the certain situations that surround high school. It's easier to tell a kid to read about drugs and sex than to talk to them about it. Well if your could comment me back as soon as possible it would be greatly appreciated. I'm dieing to hear your opinion.

Hey Mr. Straw what's up? I was just wondering as a teacher what is your opinion of those mostly famous books being banned? I personally cannot believe that parents want some of my favorite books I have read to be banned. I think as seniors in high school especially we are entitled to read more mature books, such as The Kite Runner and The Perks of Being A Wallflower. Although they contain things like swearing, drugs, sexuality, and violence, we can relate them to most of our own lives. What do you think?

I was wondering what your opinion is about these books. I see that you work with kids, so you probably have a stronger opinion about what they are exposed to.
ROck on!

Dr. Straw,
brotherin what you thinking on this new banning? it ain't looking pretty my man, they are cracking down if you know what i mean. Lemme let you in on my input. These books, i have read 'em, there good shit. I mean this is the real deal. The reality of the world we live in. Books we can relate to. You wanna know what i think. I think their trying to keep us from a real education. Shelter you and your classmates from the reality of the real world. They ain't helping they are hurting you by not letting you read these books. Throw me back some information from yourself on what you think, brother to brother.

Hey Jack,
I was wondering what your thoughts were about the PTSA wanting to ban all of those books. I think that all of the books are all appropriate for high school students. Although some of these books have violent or sexual themes, most of them can relate to themes many teenagers experience on a daily basis. I think that the books are essential in a high school students' education because they highlight themes that are happening throughout the world. What do you think about these books? Do you think some of them are too violent or too sexual?
