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.

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 1250 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 592 Views
Wouldn't the "kids' versions" ALREADY have that word excised? *NM* Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:53:09 PM 607 Views
Presumably, yes. *NM* Legolas - 05/01/2011 06:28:47 PM 623 Views
Exactly. *NM* Avendesora - 05/01/2011 01:04:16 AM 730 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 1401 Views
That is just wrong. Maria - 04/01/2011 08:00:57 PM 1309 Views
I agree. j-whitt987 - 04/01/2011 09:12:53 PM 1346 Views
my gut says it wrong but my brain says it is OK random thoughts - 04/01/2011 09:11:00 PM 1472 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 1296 Views
I hate it when I agree with you Camilla - 05/01/2011 12:09:37 AM 1259 Views
yes but you are disagreeing with me so it is a wash *NM* random thoughts - 05/01/2011 04:09:54 PM 597 Views
I see logic isn't your strong point. random thoughts - 05/01/2011 04:09:27 PM 1333 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 1155 Views
You must have a very low opinion of black people... ßelals Girl - 08/01/2011 07:34:14 PM 1346 Views

Re: It's probably a bad idea Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:51:31 PM 1321 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 590 Views
Reacting to "nigger" like that makes the word more hurtful. Tom - 05/01/2011 03:26:35 AM 1337 Views
