For my essay i am going to write about, how i believe the book is somewhat racist, but i do believe it should be taught in school. I am going to talk about that although there are many racist comments and parts of the book, i wouldn't necessarily classify it as racist, but more of a change in someones view toward black people and how it is gradually transformed throughout the book. for example like Huck transforming feelings for Jim throughout the book. Because of this I believe that this book should indeed to taught in school, cause it shows you how people can overcome and change their opinions about something, weather it be race or something else. I also believe that is should be taught in school because it was indeed the first book of its kind. and it is important for kids to know that. I think i will be taking quotes from throughout the book, that show Huck's changes in his feelings about Jim. so like the beginning when him and tom play a trick on him, then the fog scene, maybe a few scenes with the duke and king, and so on and so on. I am not quite sure what critics i will use yet, but i do know i am definitely going to use different quotes from the movie.
