If you have read or listened to the news lately, you surely are aware of the problems Chef Paula Deen is facing because of her use of the "n-word" over 25 years ago. As you are reading HUCK FINN, the word is everywhere, thus making it the most banned and censored book in America. When you finish the novel, I encourage you to complete this extra credit assignment. "What effect does the use of the "n-word" have on this novel? Should it be censored? Why or why not?" Write a paper of at least 500 words on this topic, using quotes/evidence from the novel as support. (You may use first and third person. Double space and give your paper a title.)
Submit the paper to me by July 10 as a word document via
klpalombo@yahoo.com. This will be an extra credit MINOR TEST grade.
