    Huck Finn Racist or Not?

    Many people may believe that Twain's use of the word "nigger", which is used frequently and too 'loosely' and the depiction of Jim, the black slave, are many points of why The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a racist novel. However, Mark Twain never presents Jim in a negative light. He does not show Jim as a drunk, as a mean person, or as a cheat. This is in contrast to the way Huck's (white)

    Satire and parody are two types of comedy that have been used all the way back to the era of Mark Twain. Satire resembles parody but it is critical and is used to educate or make a change. Parody is just poking fun at something with no purpose. The episode of the Simpson’s on the Odyssey was a perfect example of a parody. The clip of the “Do the Right Thing” is a good satire.
