a Should society censor a teenagers work of art to prevent a crime from happening? To publics sentiment consenting on the issue, Chabon criticizes those who find a cause of a crime in a wrong place. Chabon argues against censorship because not only does it deny the freedom of expression enshrined in the Bill of Rights, but it exacerbates human need to share and foster imagination through a work of art with which he/she nourishes an understanding of what should not happen in a real scene. Chabon charges the societys failure to protect teenagers rights and social needs by beginning his argument with a victimized student at the academy of Art University, wrongfully accused of committing a possible violent crime because of the societys fear and frenzied response to its own safety. He censures a hypocritical and "iniquitous" measure on the prosecution of censorship as "not merely the denial of teenagers rights in the name of their own protection, but the denial of their humanity in the name of preserving their innocence (Chabon 375)." According to Chabon, the current implementation of censorship deteriorates incrementally the spirit of the First Amendment by disguising human nature. He asserts that present the attitude the people who are intolerant of the dark side of human nature and willingly punish those who reveal it is indeed denying the human nature the founding fathers themselves tried so hard to disenchant. Behind the notion of allowing a freedom of speech lies acknowledgement that humans, with all ,,destructive impulses and unprincipled histories, can actually improve. Without such a process of self-concession preceding, he claims, teenage spirit of powerful imagination cannot take place; what takes place is censorship that suppresses this spirit, engraved in the freedom of speech. Furthermore, Chabon emphasizes the positive impact of art as a sheer medium of emotional communication that removes the mental barrier for people. He believes that human mind by nature requires a spiritual supply that feeds his/her solitude. He understands the art that he consumed--though it is "bound to be of a dark, violent, even bloody and horrifying nature" -- "made the walls of his prison disappear" (Chabon 358), and this influence in return not only cures the feeling of his aloneness but will help prevent others from conducting a crime or violence that were not erased from their imagination.
