  • Violence Huck

    What is considered a suitable environment for a growing child? There are many correct answers we could come up with for that question. We do know the environment is certainly not going to be a place where there is no justice, where there is racism, and where violence is as prevalent as slavery. No child would want to grow and mature in this setting. Unfortunately for Huck, he was left with no other choice than to grow up ina place uncivilized as this.

First is, should he turn Jim in. Second is, for him to see the wrong in turning his friend in, not viewing Jim as a slave. Twain doesn t seem to think there is anything wrong with racism and slavery.

    916 words
    Racism and slavery - One may wonder why Mark Twain would choose to write an antislavery novel some twenty years after the end of the Civil War. By the early 1880's, Reconstruction, the plan to put the United States back together after the war and integrate freed slaves into society, had hit some shaky ground, although it had not yet failed outright (that wouldn't occur until 1887, three years after the publication of Huck Finn). Still, as Twain worked on his novel, race relations, which seemed t...
  • Huck Finn
    591 words
    Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn tells of a young boy and his adventures with a slave named Jim. It is the blunt retelling of slavery which causes the book to be banned from many public schools for fear of being offensive. The setting for this controversial tale is the deep south when slavery was at its height.
