Censorship has been around since the ancient
times, although it became more popular in the
Middle Ages when books became more and more
common. The church has been censoring books since

individuals to the church, such as Arius and his
book Thalia. (New advent) Censorship today is a

the American 1840 s, it reflects the points of
view of individuals and society in this time,

result of over analyzing of the literature. Huck
has not reverted back to his former ways by the
end of the story. It is at the end of the novel
where Huck Finn began to understand his own
morality and begins to recognize h...
