Synthesis Essay On Huckleberry Finn

The question we need to be asking ourselves is if we should be letting our 13 and 14 year old teens read the book, “The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn.” With this type of society, I personally think we should not.

Personally, I feel like that draws the line. If kids are getting harassed because of the book then we should be banning the book until our children are older and more mature enough to handle the
