Books are for educational purposes only

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the book we're currently reading, has been known for years for it's misunderstood connotations. No one exactly knows why Mark Twain used some of the language he used, or added certain parts of the story in his book. For educational purposes or not, he was telling a story from his point of view from the time era that Huck Finn lived in. For some people, this was unnecessary to read about and could have been taught to students differently. Some said, " The word "n*****" was derogatory during the period in which the book was written; today, it is outrageous and inflammatory.". While the quote is in fact true, students shouldn't be reading the book and abusing the language inside it with the understanding that it's wrong. This book is a good example for people to see how to learn from the horrible experiences some went through in the past. Without examples and evidence and notifying others about the tragedies of the past, people cannot learn from the mistakes of the past.
