ways in which a young, innocent narrator can make a
thoughtful statement about the hypocrisy of his society.
Explain your answer.
3. Then pick one of those vocabulary words from Huck
Finn to teach to the rest of the class, from which a
vocabulary list will be compiled (see webpage).
4. Determine 1) three books that should be banned or included
