Huck Finn...two questions please help!?

[Abby]

okay so i'm writing a paper and i need help phrasing what i want to say...we have to write if Huck finn is a racist book (i said no) and this is the para. i need help on

The word “nigger” is used many times in this book; so I can see where this book has come off as racist. “Why, how did you get ahold of the raft again, Jim-did you catch her?” “’How I gwyne to ketch her en I dut in de woods. No; some er de niggers foun’ her . . .”’ (Twain 112). This shows that even blacks used this word. This was how blacks were refered to then (therefore keeping the book historically accurate). To use the word Negro or African American would have taken away the impact of the emotional and

i need help finishing it..."would have taken away the impact of...." and i cant think of thw right words to use (i'm not sure if emotional would work)


my second question is what are some examples of people being gullible..i'm saying that both whites and blacks were gullible in the book ("the books shows blacks to be gullible but whites were just as gullible")

could you help me out as best you could...something i could work with atleast!? please and thank you!

uh, all the people going to the plays by the duke and the king were gullible, Jim was gullible in believing him, the steamboat lifeguard person was gullible when he went out to save the murderers on the steamboat cos he thought there was a rich girl there, and aunt... sally was it? Is gullible with both Huck and tom pretending to be different people. The first question...taken away the historical accuracy and feeling of ... not reality... whatchamacallit... I dunno, it's like the book is made more real because
Huck is writing it? To try to surround the reader? I dunno. My assignment with this book seems so easy in comparison >.>
