historical influence. Not only is India the
country where the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni,
lived and taught, but it is the land where the
first images of the Buddha were produced and where
Buddhist iconography and symbolism evolved. Being
a student whose family originates in India, I am

Huckleberry Finn African Americans
663 words
Twain and Racism The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn, by Mark Twain, is an excellent example of
racism in literature, because it uses language

satire. It treats them as objects and perpetuates
stereotypes. It does not expose and deal with
racism, as many advocates of its reading claim,
but encourages an attitude of superiority that is
unnecessary and intolerable. In order to rid
ourselves from this racism, African American
literature should be read m...
