huck finn...
well first of all id like to say that i very much did enjoy this book
with exception to some few plot defects, it offers an adventuress exploitative plot for many that helps draw people into the book. Now this book is undeniable racist. Yes Mark Twain failed to right the perfect book without bias(ohhh no) haha. I am going to argue that this book is undeniable racist and it would be a false monstrosity if it was not racist. he would have to skew, stretch and fantify. U cannot argue that this book shouldn't be taught in school because it is racist. thats like saying we shouldnt teach history because past people choices have offended people its just bullshit. i feel like this book should be taught in high school solely because it generates such controversy.

Austin,
ReplyDeleteThough it's hard to get much of a sense of your approach to the assignment in such a brief post (you might have taken this further), I nonetheless get the sense that you are passionate about defending the novel's inclusion in the high school curriculum--and passion is always a good thing!
