Should Huck Finn Be Banned From Schools

Should The Novel Be Banned from Schools? The novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain was about a young boy and a slave both names Huck and Jim, but the problem was that the novel, Huck would call Jim the “n-word” and this has been an issue to some school in reading this literature book. Connecting back to history, American is no new to racism especially in today’s world. Only because the people of color are different compared to other ethnicities but they are also humain. But only because of Huck accepting to say this inappropriate language, teachers and students would complain about this foul language; others say that should be replaced by another classic literature novel, and should the novel be allowed in the classroom in its

According to a show called 60 Min Show there were two opponents where one is supporting and the other against. Supporting the word, one says “To understand the key of Huckleberry Finn is to understand the language of Twain’s as a friendship between Huck and Finn." The fact that Huck is white and Jim is an African American, Huck does not seem to mind saying "nigger" as many times and does not bother Jim. Their friendship has a strong bond, and the word is just a word. What also this person said is that including this word makes sense in the novel, seeing the controversy of what was happening during the Civil War. Coming to the point where the novel should be stayed at its originality form and be read to the class. If the students have not read the history what what an African American had gone through, besides what the students know, they should also see how it affected the African American who have been saved by a white little boy.

In some schools may allow such as in Minnesota to read and find the message of Mark Twain’s book which is to listen to ourselves and not listen to the rules they have to follow as to saving a slave. Also, some people led to the point where was the author Mark Twain black when he wrote this novel. According to an article “Huck’s black voice” that Mark Twain had a meeting with other people from different states had came to discuss about the novel. But what was interesting was how Twain labeled the conference, “Only a Nigger” in that case was referring about the character Huck. Individuals want to believe that the n word is just a word and has no meaning behind in the book but should not be taken away from schools. If replaced by another American Literature, the schools would have been missing out an outstanding eye-opening of this novel. So what it has a bad word in the novel, it is just a word. The white people who took take of the African American would call them that word because of their skin. The black people did not seem to be bothered and that is what they are called and they got used
