Huck

I am enjoying this book very much. It is much different just because of the audience i feel like is for younger boys. it always amazes me on how clever Huck can be. from the very beginning you can just tell he is smarter than others and his old man. when he is escaping from his dad he just continues to out think him. i love the humor that the author uses because it keeps me interested in the novel. i really dont think this book is too racist. there are parts that are questionable but i think that was just the time period. back then it was a common thing to call a black persona that. In this particular novel i do agree it is overly used, i think it is completely uneccesary to use the n-word on almost ever page but if thats how it was back then, than ok. Some will say that is still racism even though they didnt know it, and ya i guess thats true but because they didnt know it didnt exsist to them. By just reading how Huck's dad and Jim act you can obviously tell who is more intelligent. maybe not by language but by wit, how well they survive, and handle different obstacles. i personally do think this book should be taught in all schools because i dont think it is racist.
