Huckleberry Finn Bibliography

On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama was sworn into office as the 44th President of the United States of America. As the first African American president, Obama started a legacy of change in America, as well as a legacy of newly unveiled prejudice and racism that has plagued African Americans for centuries. Obama’s inauguration helped uncover racism in government that did not end with the abolishment of slavery. Discrimination against free African Americans has been a problem in this country since before the idea of unlawful enslavement was discussed. Mark Twain contributed to the discussion of post-Civil War racism with his novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In this novel, Jim, an escaped slave, is freed via his owner’s death,

Since its first publication in 1884, Mark Twain’s masterpiece The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has proven to be one of history’s most controversial novels; especially recently, the novel has often been banned by schools and censored by libraries. Characters in the book are constantly using disparaging language toward slaves, and the repeated use of the word “nigger” makes many sensitive and offended. Critics denounce the novel and Mark Twain as racist for this word being insulting and politically incorrect and for its depiction of black people and how they are treated. However, Twain was not attempting to perpetuate racism; on the contrary, he used satire to expose the ignorance and paradoxical views held by many in America at that time.

Mark Twain the author of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn tells how these two people of two different races become really close. At that the time of this book, Mark Twain made it where the two main characters needed to be segregated from each other. The books tells everything that would have happened in that time in history. According to the background essay, “ Jim is first introduced in chapter two as “Miss Watson’s big n*****”, and the word “n****” appears in the book a staggering two hundred nineteen times.” To Huck, Jim was a slave, friend, and father figure because he never left Huck’s said no matter what got in the way.

1. The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn is trying too expose the social issues happening at and around the time of it's publication. This book has a brilliant but it challenges the racial problems and slavery issues and is wrongly placed. Like the drunk father, the runaway slave Jim and the other slaves in the story it over uses the racial slur associated with African Americans. The adventures of Huckleberry Finn has a powerful attack from the audience because of the racial events described and find it offensive and un-called for. Besides these things the book I think has good morals and lessons in it that gives the book taste and comprehension on the point of the book. It is a brilliant American book with bold topics and excellent storyline that draws me in. At one point of the story Huck stops seeing Jim as a slave and more like a human being after being stuck around him for so long and actually getting too know him. I think that that is a major point in the book because it just really teaches readers that everyone, no matter race are all equal and that's how they should be treated; even though that's not how things were back in those times.
