Describe the character of Dr. Moore.

Principal Michael Moore is described as a large man around forty-years-old with long white hair and pale blue eyes. He is often disrespected by his students behind his back, and he is the target of several derogatory words and actions throughout the novel. Moore has quietly censored books in the past, but the new librarian, Deirdre Fitzgerald, refuses to cooperate with his censorship. Over the course of the novel, Moore manipulates, threatens, and orders individuals to do as he pleases, and although he claims to oppose racism and sexism, his remarks about the photos on his walls not being in accordance with affirmative action and his remarks towards and about women portray a different stance.
