Satire in Huck Finn

Huckleberry Finn Bannedor Not? Picture a river not just both kind of river, the Mississippi River. Now picture yourself on a raft, but youre not alone. in that respectre two other people with you, know as Huckleberry Finn and Jim. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is known widely as a satiric allegory, but due to the satirical techniques Twain uses all passim the book has caused it to become controversial on whether it should or should not be banned.Although Twain may turn out to be racist in Huckleberry Finn, he actually wrote the book during the Reconstruction Era but base the book during Pre-Civil War to show the good ole times when the white southerners had slaves. Because Twain uses so galore(postnominal) satirical techniques to help show readers that slavery is horrible, therefore Adventures of Huckleberry Finn should not be banned. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was and still is considered a satirical novel because of its use of caricature, flyer, jeering, and social satire (maybe even a little of parody).Mark Twain uses satire to prove his window pane on slavery. And in order to accomplish that, he has to use all sorts of satirical techniques. He uses broadside to show the racism in the south, There isnt any book out there in the world that is known that Mark Twain doesnt use satire. In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck tries to decide whether he should commit a sin to steal back a captured slave, and when he sees that he wants to steal Jim back, he tears up the note and says, All right, then, Ill go to h___. 208). This is satirical because Twain is using irony to show that Huck thinks he is doing something horrible when he is actually doing a good deed. This is an example of a good satirical technique used in the book. However, there are plenty reasons why many schools have banned the book. For example, Twain uses broadside a lot causing libraries and schools to think of it as beingness racist making them banning the book.
