Huckleberry Finn

             Have you ever read a book that you didn't like because of the racial
             things in it? If so the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark
             Twain would not be a good book to read. Mark Twain was a very good
             author don't get me wrong but the things this book has in it shouldn't be
             read by any high school student. There are many problems in this book
             that are still occurring today. Not every high school student should read

             very big issues among young teenagers in high school especially. Again
             maturity is a very big issue in reading this book. Someone who is going
             through depression could use these tips possibly on someone else of even
             themselves. Many teachers don't know if one of their students are going
             through depression so if one of their students reads this book and then did
             one of the graphic things to someone else it could cause some problems.
             Finally, child abuse is talked about many times in this book whether
