Reader Response 1: Huck Finn (1 - 6)


Why looky here. There was a free n there, from Ohio; a mulatter,most white as a white man. (ch.VI,p.20, par 3). Theirs a free black man that is good as a white man even though his skin color is different oh who.

what i think about this quote is that it is a racial slure. i also think that pa thinks that blacks shouldnt be free. the next thing i think is that he think that white people is better than black people. When really their equal cuase skin color doesn't determine personality. Lastly i think that that it is good that they dont have to be slaves and can do things when they want to just live life basically. But the sad thing is that rasism still exist in schools, jobs, and many other places.

I think that mark twain really dont believe that blacks should be slaves. i also think that he dont believe that white people is better than blacks. he just created a character like pa to show satire. Also he made pa to be ignorant and racist and drunk, and a unfit parent for a reason. But this character is amking the book interesting. ..........
