Amy's Biography

Labdien! I am a sixteen year old Asian American student attending a Catholic private high school (however please do not assume that I am a Catholic). Most people call me Amy, and I don't really go by any other names. I enjoyed reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for its satire however I do not think that it should be an American Classic because of the book's take on slavery. (However, I do accept that society has deemed it as an American Classic.) I do not believe it is Twain's fault but society's expectations. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contains several other themes, which are not about slavery and I think society is attacking the book from an unfair racist perspective (ex. groups pushing for the censorship of the word "nigger" in The Adventures of Huckleberry FInn).
