Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn Real Human
574 words
In the modern world, everyone is viewed equally.
All men and women are given the same rights and
privileges, as they should be. These beliefs,

situations to show the property-like traits these
slaves had. This may be considered extremely lewd
and unreasonable now, but in 1885, when this book
was written, it was the common way of thinking and
acting, e...
