This proposal was a 4 week project that addresses the issues book banning causes. This proposal is intended to persuade the Fauquier County Public Library to form a banned books club where, once a month, a new banned book will be read and talked about by the members of the community. While certain books might have difficult themes or offensive topics and language, the overall story should not be penalized for the majority by the minority. It is crucial for teenagers and young adults to educate themselves on the different matters going on around the world such as the different cultural, racial, sexual, and political views and to look past the censorship with an open mind. 

The purpose of this proposal is to help educate Longwood students and the surrounding community on the differences between literature in books and how those relationships, perspectives, and focal points differ once transformed into a movie. The structure of this proposal will help highlight the importance of literature and how different mediums portray that. Both books and movies are two ways of storytelling that have advantages and disadvantages which is why I proposed a semesterly event where Longwood students and the surrounding community can read a book and then watch the movie adaptation and compare the differences.
