Why was the book huckleberry fin banned?

Answer 1

Huckleberry Finn was banned because a certain racial slur re-appeared a few times during its narrative. Even though it was clear that the author was denouncing slavery and the discrimination against African Americans, the authorities didn't want children to incorporate this word into their speech. Also, some held the opinion that Jim's character was too limited and perpetuated racial stereotypes rather than rising above them.

"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" has been banned for its use of racial slurs and portrayal of racism. Some critics argue that these elements perpetuate stereotypes and are inappropriate for younger readers, while others defend the book as an important historical text that addresses issues of race and society in America.

It shouldn't banned. It is basically a novel that reflects on the harshness before the civil war period. Its not racists, maybe too today's standards, but with all said it is a representation of what it was like back then. A huge use of imagery if i may add.

Answer:

The book Huckleberry Finn has been banned by many schoolboards and removed from the shelves of libraries.
The earliest banning was in 1885, the was at Concord, Mass. The Public Library banned the year-old book for its "coarse language" - this refers to the use of what is now called "the n word" more than 200 times throughout the book. In 1905, the Brooklyn Public Library followed Concord's lead, banishing the book from the building's juvenile section, explaining: "Huck not only itched but scratched, and that he said sweat when he should have said perspiration."
Later bannings followed the same train of thought.
The book was more likely banned because it showed Huck consorting with Jim the escaped slave as an equal. Jim was portrayed as any husband and father who had been separated from his family. Twain's extreme hate of slavery is evident throughout the book.

All of these features made it unpopular with those who supported segregation.
