Heh. ? Send a noteboard - 04/01/2011 11:26:00 PM
But i really don't like this book, it was one of the very very few assigned reading books i never actually finished in school. I hate reading dialects ... Nothing but pages and pages of it and tom sawyer's malevolent stupidity ...


Yeah my teacher didn't even test us on the pages of his stupidity with stealing Jim. They should have been completely out even though Mark Twain had about 30 more of those chapters...That would have been fun. :party:

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

Cancer never fights fair. Rest in peace Mrs. Cohen, you will be missed.

New Edition of Huckleberry Finn will eliminate offensive words - 04/01/2011 07:16:36 PM 2322 Views
I am annoyed - 04/01/2011 07:41:37 PM 1188 Views
That's nothing that new. I read Sawyer and Huck Finn when I was like 10, and it was definitely water - 04/01/2011 07:45:07 PM 1199 Views
I wonder... - 04/01/2011 08:44:31 PM 1200 Views
I believe... - 04/01/2011 09:08:13 PM 1268 Views
That's new to me. - 04/01/2011 09:35:05 PM 1206 Views
Grimm's Fairy Tales are awesomely dark - 05/01/2011 04:36:28 AM 1183 Views
I knew that... - 05/01/2011 09:27:44 PM 1164 Views
There's a difference between a kids' version and a normal version with a censored word, though. *NM* - 04/01/2011 11:19:26 PM 564 Views
Wouldn't the "kids' versions" ALREADY have that word excised? *NM* - 04/01/2011 11:53:09 PM 583 Views
Presumably, yes. *NM* - 05/01/2011 06:28:47 PM 596 Views
Exactly. *NM* - 05/01/2011 01:04:16 AM 707 Views
That is just wrong. - 04/01/2011 08:00:57 PM 1254 Views
I agree. - 04/01/2011 09:12:53 PM 1300 Views
my gut says it wrong but my brain says it is OK - 04/01/2011 09:11:00 PM 1425 Views
No, the goal of the book (or one of them) was to illustrate authentic dialogue. Your brain sucks. - 04/01/2011 11:49:13 PM 1237 Views
I hate it when I agree with you - 05/01/2011 12:09:37 AM 1211 Views
yes but you are disagreeing with me so it is a wash *NM* - 05/01/2011 04:09:54 PM 569 Views
I see logic isn't your strong point. - 05/01/2011 04:09:27 PM 1277 Views

it still boils down to the fact that most teachers will not use a book with word nigger in it - 08/01/2011 02:55:29 AM 1106 Views
You must have a very low opinion of black people... - 08/01/2011 07:34:14 PM 1294 Views

Wow. Hmm. - 04/01/2011 09:31:27 PM 1266 Views
naw Twain was a pinko liberal *NM* - 04/01/2011 09:46:57 PM 579 Views
It's probably a bad idea - 04/01/2011 11:06:02 PM 1113 Views
Heh. - 04/01/2011 11:26:00 PM 1204 Views
Re: It's probably a bad idea - 04/01/2011 11:51:31 PM 1268 Views
Just because it's the point doesn't mean I have to like it. *NM* - 05/01/2011 04:44:10 AM 569 Views
Reacting to "nigger" like that makes the word more hurtful. - 05/01/2011 03:26:35 AM 1277 Views
Well - 05/01/2011 02:03:58 PM 1208 Views
Pshaw. - 05/01/2011 01:52:57 PM 1180 Views
My thoughts exactly *NM* - 06/01/2011 08:42:42 AM 576 Views
Re: I revel in your succint common sense. - 07/01/2011 06:01:08 PM 1823 Views
What's next, burning Gone with the Wind? *NM* - 11/01/2011 12:54:46 PM 588 Views
