The Book of Negros - to be burned?

In my Grade 12 English class we are reading The Book of Negros, due to the nature of the word, the title and therefore the book has been under judgement. The questions we have been faced with is "Is the title appropriate".
Well.
The actual Book of Negros was a ledger for the British soldiers who were boarding the ship, so the whole point of the book is the protagonist trying to sign the ledger. So therefore the title The Book of Negros is not completely out of regards as the Book of Negros is what she is trying to sign.
So, yes, I think we indeed should allow the title, others would disagree. My two cents.

Which essay did you prefer? 

My personal favorite essay is "In the Trenches". The reason for this is the fact that it uses descriptive language and words to not only tell a story, but teach something as well. "I bury my face in the cool damp earth." It is with this storytelling aspect that the author transports us first person into the action, educating us about the war. "In the Trenches" is as throughly entertaining as it is an educational read.
