Okay, in class we are reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , we are told it was ban in many schools for it seemes racist or it disturbs others. But should we really ban it. I hav a 100 pages left, and i still do not think that it is rascist at all. Twain's whole point was to show people of the times how foolish they were,and to try to stop slavery. My questions are as follows: If a book is offensive should it be banned? If a book is banned, what are the benefits? What are the negative points of banning books? We had a discussion like this in class, and it went well, so I was wondering EoFfer's opinions on the matter.
