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!
