Should Huckleberry Finn be taught in School?

I believe that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn should not be taught at CHS, because it has bad examples that children can pick up and follow. It’s filled with violence, theft, abuse, and misused language. That’s why I believe this book is not good for young children and should not be taught at CHS.

“Miss Watson’s big nigger Jim was setting in the kitchen door.” This is an example of what I’m talking about, the word nigger is used repeatedly, and there are lots of misspelled words. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn does not qualify any educational sense that someone young should read. I feel that you won’t get anything out of it, because of the fact that it would put people into being bad influences. For example little kids follow after their older siblings.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn discusses issues of abuse. In the book Huckleberry’s dad abuses him just because he’s going to school to get an education. No child should read a book like this even if they are mature. Also the father gets drunk and struggles with the “death angel,” which caused him to chase Huck around with a knife nearly about to kill him. Actions taken place in this book can cause issues to children in this society today.

Most importantly, violence is the main issue. Stealing, and murders are discussed by the little boys that are in a gang. “Now, says Ben Rogers, What’s the line of business of this gang?” “Nothing only robbery and murder, “Tom said.” Now clearly this example would give kids and maybe even mature young adults ideas to do these things. So why should we be taught this book if every chapter gives an idea of something bad

In conclusion, I strongly disagree that we should be able to learn about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It discusses no good and it uses misused language. Most importantly we wouldn’t want young adults to think of what they can do just by reading a book. That’s why I feel this book should not be taught at CHS.
