My thesis would be: that i agree with the thought that the N-word was very controversial when the book was first published,but i also agree that the book did represent historical realism.

but i also think that Twain was trying to make a point across by using the N-word throughout the book to maintain historical realism but i also think that the N-word is a pejorative term that should not be used.

Summary from Henry peaches: She agrees that Mark Twain did wrote the N-word many times throughout the book to represent some type of realism, Henry even said: i can still recall the anger i felt as my classmates read aloud the word "nigger" because some white students snickered and some giggled. I also believe that Mark Twain did mark a great point by using the book but i somehow think that he was still being racist by the use of the N-word throughout the novel. For some people the N-word could symbolized a lot of things while others dont care ,plus some passages from Mark Twain were being very racist.

I think that my quote would be : "One has to be deliverately dense to miss the point Mark Twain is making here and to construe such pasages as evidence of his "Racism". (390)

I believe that the quote means that Twain was making a point across by the use of the N-word throughout the book. But it also makes me think that he maybe stated the N-word many times in the book as evidence of his racism. Maybe the quote is just saying that she believes that mark Twain is making the book to be more realistic with use of the N-word. I also think that the N-word should be edited, even Henry talks about how the book was removed from public schools because blacks complained about the racially offeninse tone in the novel.
