Huckleberry Finn

I think that this book should be required to be read in school. If the students are learning about slaves then reading this book would make the students have a better understanding of what it was like during the world war and what it was like to be an African American. Yes many people do get offended with the n word used frequently in the book, but this is what makes the book so strong without the word the book looses its importance. I personally don't think that word should be used at all but its part of our history and we can't just ignore it. Huckleberry Finn should be read in school but maybe the n word should not be said because that could cause a problem.
