  1. @decibel just be sure to quote examples on the book to reinforce the idea that the traditional reading requirements of Tom Sawyer and/or Huck Finn should be challenged since the only strong support to require kids to read them is Clemens' effective way of illustrating that particular time and place in the US during that time period. Unfortunately this and the writer's apparent wit which shows throughout the two books overshadow the intent of telling a story about coming of age and conflicting with at-the-time current social challenges. And don't get me started on early 20th century fiction
