    “Two Ways of Viewing the River” by Mark Twain: Response Paper “Two Ways of Viewing the River” is a short excerpt from Mark Twain’s autobiography that compares and contrasts Twain’s point of view as a Mississippi River boat pilot. In my opinion these few paragraphs are pitch perfect as well as technically masterful. The descriptive details in paragraph 1 were especially impressive. However‚ I’m also struck by how universal this essay is a metaphor for everyday life. It is‚ in a sense‚ a comment

    How would you react if the people in your community had to work to supply for you and everyone else? That is exactly how it works in a socialist type of government.

    another perspective. Twain may be speaking out about the demeaning aspects of slavery and the lifestyle those people had during that time period‚ but I believe the use of the word nigger is not ment to be offensive. From what I gathered from the novel the word nigger was a synonym for black person‚ just like to a child poddy is code for bathroom. To say the word is "too offensive" and that it should be removed from the novel would be destructive to the novel and history its self. Twain did not sugar coat

He accomplishes this empathetic move between Jim and the reader by giving
