Huckleberry Fin: From a N word to a slave
Huckleberry Fin is a classic and everyone knows that. In the book there was black kid named Jim. But in the book they call him a nigga because his skin color. The government and such are trying to ban the word from the book because its inappropriate for kids to read the word. In the civil war era every single black person was called a nigga but they are now trying to change the word to slave. I did a little survey and I found that people would rather be called the "N" word. Mark Twain once wrote that "the difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter." If you go to www.usatoday.com/life/books/2011-01-06-twain06_ST_N.htm you an read more about it.
