Why Stop with Mark Twain's 'Huckleberry Finn'?


Why should we censor the our classic and contervesial book's like Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" and J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye"? My answer to that - we shouldn't. These books are important to American culture and I consider them masterpieces. Alex Beam writes in his essay Why Stop with  Mark Twain's 'Huckleberry Finn' that we should abandone all of the conterversial words and replace them with something more suitable.I think this is wrong and we need preserve the books just how they are.

  1. I think you are completely right. Never mess with a classic. People need to grow up and just relax...
