You know that runaways are often preyed upon by criminals and other unscrupulous people. What do you do? Imagine that a law is passed requiring any adult without a high school diploma to work as a servant for those who are more educated. How will you respond to this law? In the 1980s, human-rights groups helped political refugees from El Salvador escape their oppressive situation by traveling illegally through the U.S. to Canada. What do students think they would do, given a chance to help? What are their reasons?Abolitionists.The abolitionists, mentioned with such horror by Huck, were a group of antislavery activists who wanted the slaves freed. Many gave fiery speeches in aid of their cause. Students will write speeches to persuade people to free the slaves, and then give their speech. Speeches will be graded on how much the class believes them. The N word:The best approach is one of honesty and historical accuracy. In Huck's and Jim's society, the word was used by blacks and whites alike to identify anyone of African heritage (and frequently of any nonwhite heritage). As used by whites, it was a term of disparagement and degradation. As used by blacks, it was a term sometimes of identification, sometimes of contempt; as either, it carried the burden of degradation imposed by the white masters and rulers. The fact is, the word was used by everyone, white or black. Mark Twain would most likely scoff at today's politically correct euphemism ("the 'N' word") and prefer to confront head on the word itself, its accumulated meanings, and the social, economic, and personal realities from which it sprang and which it continues to reflect.Ernest Hemingway“All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.”--from Green Hills of Africa (1935)What is modern and American about Twain’s writing? Is he read today for the same reasons he was in Hemingway’s time? Why do you think the book has been banned?
