Wow. Hmm. ? Send a noteboard - 04/01/2011 09:31:27 PM
I don't really know if that's good or bad. That book is the only reason I know that word. My dad read it to me when I was in second grade and he replaced it with "slave" or "black man" every time. The new edition would have made things easier, but don't you think Mark Twain would be angry? Angry zombies are the worst kind.

Great book though.
Oh and my username is what it is because I couldn't think of a better username...I'm not trying to be obnoxious.

That's nothing that new. I read Sawyer and Huck Finn when I was like 10, and it was definitely water beetnemesis - 04/01/2011 07:45:07 PM 1217 Views

There's a difference between a kids' version and a normal version with a censored word, though. *NM* Legolas - 04/01/2011 11:19:26 PM 579 Views
Wouldn't the "kids' versions" ALREADY have that word excised? *NM* Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:53:09 PM 595 Views
Presumably, yes. *NM* Legolas - 05/01/2011 06:28:47 PM 613 Views
Exactly. *NM* Avendesora - 05/01/2011 01:04:16 AM 719 Views
Read real books then. What kind of ten year old needs to read dumbed down children's books? Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:21:27 PM 1370 Views
That is just wrong. Maria - 04/01/2011 08:00:57 PM 1280 Views
I agree. j-whitt987 - 04/01/2011 09:12:53 PM 1322 Views
my gut says it wrong but my brain says it is OK random thoughts - 04/01/2011 09:11:00 PM 1444 Views
No, the goal of the book (or one of them) was to illustrate authentic dialogue. Your brain sucks. Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:49:13 PM 1272 Views
I hate it when I agree with you Camilla - 05/01/2011 12:09:37 AM 1238 Views
yes but you are disagreeing with me so it is a wash *NM* random thoughts - 05/01/2011 04:09:54 PM 583 Views
I see logic isn't your strong point. random thoughts - 05/01/2011 04:09:27 PM 1301 Views

it still boils down to the fact that most teachers will not use a book with word nigger in it random thoughts - 08/01/2011 02:55:29 AM 1125 Views

Just because it's the point doesn't mean I have to like it. *NM* Darth_Katie - 05/01/2011 04:44:10 AM 581 Views
Reacting to "nigger" like that makes the word more hurtful. Tom - 05/01/2011 03:26:35 AM 1301 Views
