Zero Draft

I am going to write this essay on how I think that the book Huckleberry Finn is not racist and that it should be taught in schools. I think that this book has many issues that people in today's society to not agree with. I do not think it is racist because it was how people acted back then and how people talked. I think that it should be taught because reading the book to others or reading it alone or someone reading it to you will help teach how the ways of life are totally different then how they are today. I remember how my mom taught me about slavery when I was younger and how I asked why most of them had colored skin and why people called them mean names. She explained it to me, and told me that it was how thing were back then and if we did not have books like this to teach us about history then we would not know anything about the olden days. I think that it is important to realize that the references that we have are important and influence how we live our lives today.

I think that these topics I have chose to write my essay on will be easy to create a strong argument. I also have gathered a lot of notes from the documentary we have watched so I hope this is a good start. If anyone has any feed back I would love it :) thanks!
