                                                                                                                                                                               Essay 3
Dear Mr. Ignoramus, 
      
      I received your request to ban The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the school library because of its “stereotypical portrait of blacks as superstitious and unintelligent,” but I must 

decline your request for several reasons. 
      
      If you had researched the author of this story, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), you would have discovered that he was nothing close to a racist. In fact, he gained most of his inspiration 

from African Americans that he met throughout his life. 
      
      I do not mean to sound condescending in any manner, but with the mindset that you possess, a book like Little Red Riding Hood could be accused of depicting alien domination and 

encouraging the genocide of farm animals. This may be very far-fetched, but I’m sure you get my point. 

      Stories are often filled with deeper meanings, many of which are often misinterpreted and misconstrued and your request clearly proves this. Once again, I do not mean to offend you, 

though I am sure I already have, but I feel the need to exaggerate in order for you to gain a more logical and accurate perspective. 

      The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was released in 1884 and was intended to take place in the mid 1800s before the Civil War. With this being said, slavery was a prominent issue 

and was not seen as immoral. If you knew this beforehand, you might not have even considered writing me a letter with such a request. 

      In all actuality, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a fictional adventure story based on Mark Twain’s earlier life and inspired by his childhood experiences. I suggest that you reread 

this book now that I have provided you with this insight because it will continue to be present in our school library. 

                                                                                                                                                                                Sincerely, 

                                                                                                                                                                               Mackenzie Pawliger

Love.
