I have given it some thoughts but I'll stick with what I thought about the subject before hand. What I believe is that from a certain age kids shouldn't read certain books. Once they reach a certain age it should be up to the parents with what they read. Other than that I don't really care too much about this topic, but I'm sure I will once I have children.

In the passage it says, "Miss watson's big nigger, named Jim, was setting in the kitchen door..." (Twain 17). |
