Jeff Elzey Mrs. Lathrop Advanced American Studies (P5) March 27, 2003 Mark Twain’s Huck Finn; A Controversy of Racism Mark Twain’s novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is said to be a racist and vulgar novel by many, but in truth it is a novel to speak out against slavery in a post Civil War era. In the writing of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain wrote about the atrocities of slavery and how it affected the youth of the time. Twain morally condemns slavery and racism for its indecency because he is sending a message of abolition of racism. Jim, a slave whom becomes friendly to Huck Finn after he is found out camping on the same island, is a figure whom helps portray slavery as an indecent system. Jim ran away from his home because he overheard a conversation about him being sold off for eight- hundred dollars to a plantation down South.
