    of Huckleberry Finn, told the story of a white boy, Huck, helping a slave, Jim, to escape in the 1840s. The use of language in the book, such as the N-word and Huck’s language, has caused great controversy. While some people comment the book as an outstanding anti-racism book, this book is not suitable for being taught to the general students for its language, its difficulty of understanding, and some possibly misleading context to younger students. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is rather controversial

Mark Twain uses satire to ridicule the Civil War, which was fought because of moral differences

    Harrison Lerner Journal 1 My first impression of Huck Finn was that he was just a little boy who would do his chores around the house such as go fishing, wash clothes in the river etc., and here and there get into trouble with his friends from school.
