The Duke of Bridgewater

He is a conman who jumped onto Jims and Hucks raft. He hoped aboard with a man named The king, but they didn't know each other. He made up a lie stating that he was the rightful Duke to Bridgwater. Him and the King come up with scams to rob money from innocent townspeople, eventually they get caught and tarred. He is dirty, sly, clever, self centered and heartless.

Humans are animals

I believe that humans have a great capacity of being good and achieving greatness. In human nature there is envy, greed, hatred, racism and ignorance. All of these traits will eventually lead to out own downfall. We are the only animal that can be provoked into violence just because we received an unpleasant look from another human being. We are the only animal that takes value in these little pieces of paper, we call money. We kill other animals, merely for sport. We are not all completely evil. We can reach out to one another in time of need.

New Version of Huck Finn

I do agree with the point of view the writer is trying to argue. I don't believe that the word 'nigger' should be replaced in the book. By taking out the word I think americans themselves would lose part of their culture. Part of the reason they are trying to block out the word is because they are uncomfortable, not just because they want to be politically correct.
