Ignorance

Huckleberry Finn could only be described as annoying because of the author's choice of language dialect. The "Old English" made one question whether people at that time were illiterate, versus truly being able to understand the language. On the other hand, it makes one question how the English language changed over the course of time. The book portrayed how racism and segragation played a part in society. Sadly, little has changed in the current world order. However, this action has become more complex for today's society. Today's society now intergrates not just a person's skin tone but also their religion, beliefs, social class, and the way they live. Ignorance plagues the generations of both eras.
