1,145 words
To teach or not to teach? This is the question
that is presently on many administrators' minds
about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark
Twain. For those who read the book without
grasping the important concepts that Mark Twain
gets across "in between the lines", many problems
arise. A reader may come away with the impression

African-American race. If we believe that Huck
Finn is used only as a unit of racism we sell the
book short. I feel t...

Nicomachean Ethics Mother Theresa

In Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle starts by
explaining why people do what they do. Every
action is the means to a greater end. Each end in
turn can be seen as a means to an even greater
end. A man makes horse shoes, the means, so he can
shoe his horse, the end. He shoes his horse, the
means, so he can ride into town, the end. So it

acts are good and just, saying we must examine
them. To fall short of...
