Censorship is the supervision and control of the information and ideas that are circulated among the people within society. Censorship refers, in this situation to the examination of books in our school curriculum, for the purpose of altering, or suppressing parts thought to be objectionable, or offensive.
             Based on the article, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was banned because of its poor use of grammar, the racist words, the racial epithets and the racial violence throughout out the novel. Another concern is how these (problems) will effect the students reading it. Another reason being the Civil War had just ended. This meant that reconstruction was disintegrating, racial violence was escalating, and segregation restricted the blacks a right to vote. This shows us the American society of the 1800's were more concerned with the international relationship between Huck and Jim than the racial issues.
             People in this day and age oppose reading "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" in schools today because of the poor use of grammar, racial slang and actions not appropriate for school aged kids. It also challenges what people think, that racism is no longer a problem in the United States today. This shows that our current society isn't really confident that racism is still a problem concerning the U.S today. It also shows that we care more about the effects on students reading this and the effect it could have on them and the society of today. In the1800's when "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published the society from ours of today differed in some ways. They differed because the society of the 1800's still had racism present, they didn't want to start controversies, so they banned it from the libraries and bookstores. Today's society is more concerned about the effects it will have on the students reading it, in life, and in school (literature).
