Tom Sawyer plays a relatively large role in the opening chapters, and then disappears until the end of the book. Still, his purpose in the novel is distinct. What importance does Tom have in the novel, and how does he act as foil for Huck?

Huck Finn has been challenged as inappropriate reading material ever since its publication in 1855 publication. The book was originally criticized as being boorish, and in poor taste; later, it was denounced for having racist themes. Do you think this novel is racist? Anti-racist? Point to specific examples to support your stance.

Welcome to Mrs. Adkins’ AP English Language class. My hope is that this site will provide an effective means of communication between students and teacher, and also that we will be able to engage in meaningful discussion of outside novels in mode different than the traditional classroom discussion.
