Considered to be America's must-read classic, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a picaresque novel about a young boy, Huck, and a slave, Jim. Throughout the story these two marginalized characters meet new people, discover new customs, and much much more. The various techniques and story lines Twain uses informs the reader of the major issues that were faced during the 18th century, while still making the reader laugh. Every ingredient Twain uses, such as satire and the various themes, make The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a phenomenal piece of literature.
In order to express his thoughts on conflicting issues facing society at the time, Twain writes the book from the first person point of view of a teenager. This approach accomplishes a non bias or bigot view of the main issues discussed.

Le Cancre


Il dit non avec la tête
mais il dit oui avec le coeur
il dit oui à ce qu'il aime
il dit non au professeur
il est debout
on le questionne
et tous les problèmes sont posés
soudain le fou rire le prend
et il efface tout
les chiffres et les mots
les dates et les noms
les phrases et les pièges
et malgré les menaces du maître
sous les huées des enfants prodiges
avec des craies de toutes les couleurs
sur le tableau noir du malheur
il dessine le visage du bonheur

We are reading it for my English I class and so far I don't understand why parents and other people in today's society want to ban the book. I find it very good and it just gives a person more things to think about.
What are your ideas on banning book, this one and others?
What are some other books that you feel should or shouldn't be banned?
