One of the most obvious reasons why Huck is not a racist character is because of the true friendship that he had with Joe. From the first few chapters a friendship had been formed between Huck Finn and Joe that would last throughout the whole book. Huck and Joe both had their own goals, but as the story went on you could notice as a reader that they were helping out each other more than themselves. Many parts of the story people would stop Huck and ask him if he was with any black men on his raft. He said no every time, and saved Joe for one more day. Such as the part on the book when men come up to Huck and ask him if the man that Huck is affiliated with is white or black. "Well, there's five niggers run off to-night up, above the head of the bend. Is your man white or black?" and then Huck replies "He's white." That was one instant in the book when Huck came up with a great story to help save Jim.

Another reason why Huck Finn is not racist is because Mark Twain uses his strong language to give the reader a taste of what it was like back in the day. Mark Twain uses the word “nigger”, and talks about black people in a bad way to show realism. Mark Twain does a great job showing that Huck Finn is not racist because of how he is warm hearted, but he also uses Huck to get the point across about how racism was a huge topic in the 50’s, and makes it clear that it’s not because of how Huck is racist.

Another reason why Huck is not racist is because at the end of the book when Tom Sawyer said that he was just playing a joke on Jim, and said that he was really free all along, Huck got very angry and stuck up for Jim. Huck didn’t think that Jim deserved that, so he had Tom give him $40 for Jim’s troubles. This was the point where Jim and Huck started to part their ways. Looking back on everything they went through, Huck and Jim both had each others back and it was interesting to notice that they probably couldn’t have made it if it wasn’t for each other, which tells everyone not to be racist.

Overall Huck shows that it does pay off to not be racist, and it can take you a ways. Throughout The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain clearly shows that Huck Finn is not a racist character in the book because of his growing friendship with Jim, despite all the accusations about Mark Twain’s writing. Mark Twain did a great job showing the problems that come upon black people threw Huck’s Narrative, but also did a good job showing that Huck had his own ideas on black people and made sure not to get them confused. Huck Finn is not a racist man because of his the way he treated Jim. This was one of the greatest novels displaying love with white and black people during the mid 1800’s.

In Friday Night Lights, it shows how football was everything, even to teachers, and everyone who was affiliated with the school. You realize how upsest everyone is, when $20,000 goes to the football team to fly to their games. You must realize that this isn’t the richest town, and that a lot of this money could go to school teachers, and supplies.

In the book, you notice how some dreams had been crushed, the player that shows it the most it Booby Miles, a running back who was set to have an outstanding year until he was forced out with a leg injury. You get to see how Booby deals with his whole life including his fights with racism.

I have seen the book, and also the movie. I honestly liked the movie a little better. While reading the book, you’ll realize that in many chapters nothing happens, and it gets to be slow reading. As a matter of fact, one chapter just describes the town and barely even mentions football. Despite some slow parts, the book was still great, and the author really does do a great job describing how important football was.

Overall this book was very good, and one of my favorite sports books. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes football, especially if you play football. This book lets the normal person realize how sports can lift you up, and how it can crush you. Also, if you’re a parent that’s reading it, you may come to realize that you might be putting on to much pressure on your son or daughter. That’s because the parents of many players dwindle their children and force pressure on them.
