Question: Do you get offended by the word "nigga" and the bad philisophy of a kid by drinking and smoking?
First, the word is not referring to you. I understand that your ancestors were slaves and that the meaning is horrible but Mark Twain is not referring to you. He want's his readers to know how they used to talk in that time period. I am not trying to be racist, i am not racist ill tell the truth. African American people mention that word more than white people do, when your friend calls you that what do you do? nothing but when a white guy calls you that you have to flip out like its the end of the world. They did that too me in class, i couldn't even say it for an example when i was answering a question. So don't believe that Mark Twain is referring to you because he's not.
Secondly, Mark Twain is trying to tell you how kids were back then.In that time period parents did not give many attention to their children, like African Americans they were slavs they couldn't take care of their children. Kids were wild, like Huck he drunk and smoked he had freedom did what he wanted to do. I this time period teens drink and smoke not eleven year olds. Now more parents take care of their children and prevent bad stuff like smoking and drinking, until they are old enough. So don't get influenced by it though, if you are a teen and you read this book you might say to yourself "Im going to smoke." Don't get influenced and that the author is describing how things were back then in that time period.
Lastly, the book is awesome. Some people think that the book has minor problems like the language and all that other crap. The book is awesome, characters are great and the story is coming along, so i cant wait to go home and read the next chapter tonight. So don't listen what other people say about this book, its your opinion. You should read it, there are two cause's if you read the frist three chapters,you read you like or you read and you dislike, for me i love this book. Basically go the store and pick it up just to read and if you don't like it well you wasted your time reading this.
In conclusion this book is awesome. Some people get offended don't its the truth. Don't get influenced by the book because you will end up like Huck. This is my last time writing an essay about this topic that has the word "nigga" cause people will think im racist, im not. But seriously you should read this book, its your opinion, don't listen what other people say, start reading. If you don't try to read this book you will get shot in the head(-_- seriously...).
