Huck Fin Synthesis
I Believe that Huckleberry Finn should be taught and read in high school American literature courses, but only if students are provided with a teacher who can properly analyze and teach in a way that effectively shows this books true purpose as a satire of society. For if this is inefficiently done, the book can most certainly become offensive and crude, and as Wallace adamantly expresses can be “humiliating and insulting to black students” (source

I do not believe unnatural means that something is disgusting; something can be unnatural

The Catcher and the Rye / Huckleberry Finn
The American Webster’s dictionary defines innocence as, “Freedom from harmfulness; inoffensiveness.” Although this definition is the one which is most commonly used, many authors tend to twist or stretch the meaning in order to fit the material to which it applies.

The definition of innocence is

One of the most influential singers, songwriters, and poets of all time would be the singer, Jim Morrison, of the great American rock band, The Doors.

The way he expresses these topics through his songs makes him mysterious and unique. Very few bands in musical history have
