The decision upheld the right of public high school administrators at Hazelwood East High School in subrban St. Luois, Mo., to censor stories concerning teen pregnancy and the effects of divorce on children from a school-sponsored student newspaper.

- 115: Rattle Bone
- ... Brown is involved at the beginning and towards the end of the book. Ms. Brown became an important part of Irene s life, not only by being one of the main reasons for her parents divorce, but also by helping Irene accomplish one of her goals. The time that occurred between these two events in the book connects Rattlebone and is a very good use of foreshadowing. Another example of Clair s use of this writing method is the experience of the divorce between Irene s parents. This long-term process displayed Irene s parents as being unforgiving. At first his wife forgives James Wilson for the affair that he enjoyed with October Brown, but after a period ... nor make up with the other.

- ... Poussaint 4). Another reason given for the current trend is an increasing social and economical independence among women (Hollander 23). A third reason for the current trend is the increase in the chance of a divorce for those that are getting married.

The projection for the same age group is that within 15 years, the percentage among the same age group of women will be around 40 percent (Russell 211). So, the current popular saying of half of marriages end in divorce is slowly becoming true. The demographic trend toward single-parent households is clear and definite.
