Huck

The book Huckleberry fin has racist elements, but as a whole is not racist in fact it is an anti racist novel. The concluding chapters is in fact almost a definition of satire on not only the institution of slavery but also the beginning of the reconstruction in which southerners negligently forgot to tell their former slaves oh by the way you’re free. In fact most of this novel’s events off the river are satirical. As far as the question as to wither it should be taught in school or not, it should be taught as an optional assignment in conjunction with Uncle Toms Cabin and other novels that touch upon America’s history with slavery. Passages I plan to cite include the scene on Jackson Island, the third trick played on Jim, the journey down river when it was only Jim and Huck, and the ending it self. To discus the use of this book in school I will use the movie to show that not all students are ready to be taught Huck Fin and teachers must use their discretion to see if students are able to handle the copious amount of Racist elements.
