My topic that I choose will be racism. I choose racism because it’s something that is in the book that I can relate to. I have a quote in my book that can relate to my topic. “And to see the cool way of that n why, he wouldn’t a give me the road if I hadn’t shoved him out o the way. I says to the people why isn’t this n put up a auction and sold?” Chapter VI and paragraph 2. I would say in my own words that Huck’s dad said. Why is an black man voting he is an outcast and he is a low life why ain’t he put up for auction like an regular slave?

What he is saying in that quote is very ignorant and very stupid to say something like that. He is discriminating an race it is very racist what he said. It relates to my life because people are very discriminating and racist they call people out of there name just because the color of there skin. They hurt people not just black people but all people.

Mark Twain in this quote was trying to make Hucks dad look stupid and very ignorant. He wanted him to make people look at him like he is a bad guy. He would think that it is stupid and just plain racist. It relates to his life because he gets to deal with it everyday and it’s tiring and he wanted to address it.
