ENTRY #3: THE USE OF THE "N-WORD" (due Tuesday evening)

Here are some questions for you to consider in your response:
How do you feel about the use of this word in society today in 2011? Who can or cannot say the word? When, if ever, can it be said? Do you agree or disagree with any of the arguments presented on “The View?” How do you feel about the word being replaced to "slave" in some future editions of Huck Finn? Discuss!

Entry #2: STEREOTYPES & MISCONCEPTIONS (due Monday evening)

Part A: In chapters 1-13, what evidence exists that shows the way certain characters show misconceptions or use stereotypes against others (i.e. the government, African Americans, the rich vs. the poor, the educated vs. the uneducated?)

Part B: Do these stereotypes warrant the objections to reading this novel?

Post #1: Imaginary Law (due Sunday)

Imagine that a law is passed requiring any adult without a high school diploma to work as a servant for those who are more educated. How will you respond to this law?
