I am proud of the long way that I have come from when I was younger.

time we meet Friar Lawrence‚ he is talking about very deep ideas. He starts by talking about basic thoughts such as night becoming day and gathering herbs for medicine; however‚ as he continues talking‚ he says that everything on earth‚ man and plant‚ have two opposite sides: good and evil.

The question boils down to the depiction of Jim‚ the black slave‚ and to the way he is treated by Huck and others. In the 1950s the effort to banish The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from required classroom reading lists came publicly to the floor again‚ not chiefly on the grounds that its depiction of black characters and the use of the word “nigger” were demeaning to African-American
