I felt that this novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain is appropriate and necessary to
illustrate the attitudes of pre-Civil war Americans. To me, this book just shows the life of two runaway
people and their life along the Mississippi River. The first time I read this book, I really did not realize that
Mark Twain was discriminating blacks. I think that the NCAAP is too worried about literature. Mark
Twain probably wrote this book and used terms such as the N- word to show realism in his book. The way
Mark Twain puts the book together combined with his way of speech makes the book sound so real that
you could confuse it with a autobiography of a little child named Huck. The book Huckleberry Finn was
written about a time between 1835s-50s. This meant that during Huck’s time, slavery was still around and
most whites during this time do not like blacks. The N- word just literally show us what white people think
of blacks at that time. They use this wor!
d to verbally express their feelings. However, I am not trying to say that Huck calls Jim a N- because he
does not like him. He probably picked it up from other people (adults). Besides this “vulgarity” as An Lew
has put it, this book in my eyes is a perfectly good reading book for young people. It is exciting,
adventurous, and realistic. Most of the N- words are used by Huck and as you see of their relationship
together, you know that Huck does not mean it in a bad way. Since this word was used and passed around
for quite some time, Huck must have picked it up from someone and is using it sort of as a slang for
African Americans. They are messing with one of the greatest and most famous writers around. I don’t
think this book is very prejudice at all. . . it is just very expressionable.
