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 2302 Views
I am annoyed - 04/01/2011 07:41:37 PM 1175 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 1186 Views
I wonder... - 04/01/2011 08:44:31 PM 1182 Views
I believe... - 04/01/2011 09:08:13 PM 1252 Views
That's new to me. - 04/01/2011 09:35:05 PM 1190 Views
Grimm's Fairy Tales are awesomely dark - 05/01/2011 04:36:28 AM 1167 Views
I knew that... - 05/01/2011 09:27:44 PM 1147 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 558 Views
Wouldn't the "kids' versions" ALREADY have that word excised? *NM* - 04/01/2011 11:53:09 PM 577 Views
Presumably, yes. *NM* - 05/01/2011 06:28:47 PM 589 Views
Exactly. *NM* - 05/01/2011 01:04:16 AM 694 Views
That is just wrong. - 04/01/2011 08:00:57 PM 1237 Views
I agree. - 04/01/2011 09:12:53 PM 1285 Views
my gut says it wrong but my brain says it is OK - 04/01/2011 09:11:00 PM 1410 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 1222 Views
I hate it when I agree with you - 05/01/2011 12:09:37 AM 1196 Views
yes but you are disagreeing with me so it is a wash *NM* - 05/01/2011 04:09:54 PM 564 Views
I see logic isn't your strong point. - 05/01/2011 04:09:27 PM 1263 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 1091 Views
You must have a very low opinion of black people... - 08/01/2011 07:34:14 PM 1277 Views
*cough* Rodney King trial *cough* *NM* - 22/01/2011 07:06:20 PM 583 Views
Wow. Hmm. - 04/01/2011 09:31:27 PM 1249 Views
naw Twain was a pinko liberal *NM* - 04/01/2011 09:46:57 PM 570 Views
It's probably a bad idea - 04/01/2011 11:06:02 PM 1100 Views
Heh. - 04/01/2011 11:26:00 PM 1190 Views
Re: It's probably a bad idea - 04/01/2011 11:51:31 PM 1249 Views
Just because it's the point doesn't mean I have to like it. *NM* - 05/01/2011 04:44:10 AM 560 Views
Reacting to "nigger" like that makes the word more hurtful. - 05/01/2011 03:26:35 AM 1265 Views
Well - 05/01/2011 02:03:58 PM 1189 Views
Pshaw. - 05/01/2011 01:52:57 PM 1168 Views
My thoughts exactly *NM* - 06/01/2011 08:42:42 AM 566 Views
Re: I revel in your succint common sense. - 07/01/2011 06:01:08 PM 1807 Views
What's next, burning Gone with the Wind? *NM* - 11/01/2011 12:54:46 PM 578 Views
