A. A quick summery is a parody or satire of the racist attitudes of the people who lived along the Mississippi river. One particular scene characterizes the overall thrust of the book. It is an exchange between a very well educated and well spoken black Doctor, and Huck's father who is white, a drunkard, uneducated, lazy and a racist. It is very clear that Huck's father feels himself superior to the black doctor, simply because he is white. Twain points out throughout the book that the attitude of most whites is that regardless of the quality of the black person, the white person us superior by virtue of being white.

What Is Your Opinion of the Racial Issues In the Adventures of Huckleberry finn?
Q. I'm doing a huge school project on the different perspectives of the race issues dealt with in Huckleberry Finn.

Asked by Miss Meagan - Sun Apr 1 17:29:33 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I don't feel that the novel is racist. Twain merely wrote the novel to acknowledge racist problems going on in society and the corruption of the human race. His intentions were positive. But, in order to get his views across, he had to resort to using the n-word and presenting situations that were out of people's comfort zone. For example, by using Jim as a main character and developing a friendship between him and Huck, Twain showed that it was possible for people to make their own decisions. In the novel, when Huck had the opportunity to turn Jim in, but eventually decided against it, the racist opinions that surrounded prior to his actions were meaningless.

Asked by Rose_21 - Sun Dec 13 10:54:40 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. First of all, the title has no article: _Adventures of Huckleberry Finn._ Second, there is no evidence Twain was blocked in the sense of a writer being unable to go on while he was writing _Adventures of Huckleberry Finn._ Twain started the book in 1876 as a sequel to the successful _The Adventures of Tom Sawyer_ (1876). However, he didn't care much for the manuscript. He abandoned it after four chapters or so. Thus the early chapters of _Huckleberry Finn_ begin like an adventure book for boys. Presumably, he did not want to repeat himself, but Huck's voice, the triumph of Mark Twain's career, probably ensured that it wouldn't be another _Tom Sawyer_ anyway.
