  • Racism In The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
    2,806 words
    Racism in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is not a racist novel, nor is Mark Twain a racist author. The novel was a satire on slavery and racism that, as well as raising social awareness, was also one of the best American novels of all time. Since it was first published, Huck Finn has caused much controversy for mixed reasons, which recently included the use of racial slurs and accusations that the author himself was racist. The idea that someone like Twain,...
