Huckleberry Finn

Have you ever read the adventure of Huckleberry Finn? Many people believe that the book should not be taught in school. They think the expliant langues; the use of violence, and the constant act of violence should not be taught in school. I beg to differ. I believe Huck Finn should be taught in school for a few reason. This book teaches slaves history, has a great quest details, but most importantly it might encourage student to adventure out and talk to people not their usual click.

We all know this story is fiction. In opoion, this book teaches you slave history throughout the whole story. Huckleberry Finn gives you an n idea on how slave were treated back then. In the story Miss Weston treated her slave with no respect. She all him her, “big Nigger Jim.’ Throughout the whole story white people would call African American Nigger. This was a day-to-day occurance back then. Today in the 21century if a white person calls African American person a nigger a fight could break out. Back then they use the word Nigger like it was a person name. These describe a slave life to the tee.

Huckleberry Finn is an awesome story to analyze. Huck, the main character is experience thing throughout the whole story. I believe that he learn thing that are concrete and abstract. In the story Huck is running from Widow Douglas and his father. To me the Widow represent religion and his father represent abuse. In my option, Widow is shoving religion down his throat and the father is just mean and abuse, she makes him read Mosses and his father says thing like, “Don’t you give mo none “o” your lip. I’ll take you out” (19pg) that a from of vorbale abuse but he also hit him too. Last but not least, this might encourage kids to become friends with people that are different. Huck becomes friends with Jim but Jim is a slave. Huck and Jim are completely different but yet they become friends. This book might encourage kids to make friend with people out of their click.

In conclusion, this is a perfect story to teach in school for a few reasons. When you teach it your student will receive an idea on how slave were treated back then, they will learn how to analyze a story and the they might just learn to try to make friends with people who are different from them. So will be the next teaching this story?
