To what extent is the issue of racism and slavery demonstrated in the novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain in regard to the views of the main characters, the prejudices of the society and the usage of language?
No full text“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain is one of the most renowned
works of the American literature. As the two main characters of the novel, Huckleberry Finn
and Jim, embark on a journey throughout the Mississippi River, the readers explore the idea
of racism and slavery among the people of southern United States of America.
Aim of this study is to analyse the question:
To what extent is the issue of racism and slavery demonstrated in the novel “The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain in regard to the views of the main
characters, the prejudices of the society and the usage of language?
The research question is analysed in three main parts, which are “The Views Of The
Main Characters”, “The Views Of The Society” and “The Usage of Language”. First of all,
the way Huckleberry Finn and Jim are influenced by the ideas of racism and slavery is
analysed in two separate sections. Then it is demonstrated how the ideas of Huckleberry and
Jim are affected by the prejudices which are generated within the society. Finally, the
language of the novel is examined in order to express the ideas of racism and slavery.
In conclusion, it is observed that the ideas of racism and slavery are accepted as
normal facts among the southern American society of 1880s. In addition, it is proved that the
Mark Twain protests these ideas, contrary to the public opinion of 1880s. Mark Twain also
suggests that in order to terminate the ideas of racism and slavery, these ideas must be
eradicated from the minds of the youth

Author response: critical condition: replacing critical thinking with creativity by Patrick Finn
No full textFollowing Jodie Matthews’s review of his new book Critical Condition: Replacing Critical Thinking with Creativity, author Patrick Finn offers a response to Matthews’s reflections on his work. Finn outlines his approach to writing Critical Condition: a text that is designed to serve as an accessible ‘thought experiment’ that speaks across disciplines in order to explore its object, ‘critical thinking’. For Finn, critical thinking is a concept that appears integral to academic practice, yet remains under-defined and in need of further elucidation. Critical Condition therefore seeks to inspire collective reflection on critical thinking and its relationship with creativity
