Racism [Huck Finn]
While reading Huck Finn by Mark Twain there were many different ideas that shocked me. As long as the strickness in the community, separation of men and women, and the different relationships between elders and young, however the most terrifying discovery was how racism was carried out. When you read this book, you can not believe that this is the same United States that we live in today. The language that is in this book is very disturbing and really gives the reader a lasting impression on just how hard the south was on African Americans during this time. Allthough this book is very striking, it has alot of meaning behind it, and i believe that Mark Twain really carrys out the effect of the characters very well. I’m espeically interested in the way he describes the lady at the end of chapter 11 to be very proper and wealthy, how ever she is throwing out the N- word like it is just apart of their every day life. This book has alot of hidden meanings behind it, that i think the author intended for the readers to realize if they look deeply into them.
