Huckleberry Finn

I enjoyed watching the movie on the controversies of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". People discussed their own personal likes and dislikes of the author's (Mark Twain) use of the word "Nigger". I was able to listen to both sides of the story. I agree and disagree with both sides. I am stuck in the middle. If I had to choose one side I would not be able to. In the next few paragraphs I will give my feelings and ideas on the movie and the use of the word in the book.

First, in the movie that I watched, there is a mother of an African-American teenage girl who was supposed to read this book for English class. The word "Nigger" used in this book offended her, so she took this issue to her mother who took it further to the School Board Committee and so on. "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was written in the 1800's,


where it was normal to own slaves. Although, some people did not agree with slave traders, there was no law saying it was illegal. I think that people need to understand that when this book was written, these things took place and these words were said. I feel as though we are past this issue now a day and we should look at this book not only as reading curriculum but also as a history lesson. Mark Twain was a very kind hearted person and I don't believe this word was used to offend anyone. If you read the very beginning of the book called "Mark Twain and Huck Finn" it explains a little bit about Mark Twain and his writings. "Huckleberry Finn is a beautifully balanced combination of humor and horror, of loneliness and love." This book is about life back then in a child's mind.

I have a hard time writing this paper because
