.... American writer Ernest Hemingway, "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn…it’s the best book we’ve had…There has been nothing as good since" (The Green Hills of Africa [Scribner’s. 1953] 22). The controversy behind the novel has been and will always remain the crux of any readers is still truly racism. Twain surely does use the word ‘nigger’ often, both as a referral to the slave Jim and any African-American that Huck comes across and as the epitome of insult and inferiority.

.... against her husband, known as Roger Chillingworth, who had went out into the world to seek his fortune in medicine. It is really shocking that she could do this, seeing that she lived in the Puritanical village of Salem. In fact, she seems to be a feminist in this aspect, daring to rise up and challenge the laws about women (Crowley 63). After this incident, she was taken back to her prison cell and there she waited until the magistrates decided to release her.

.... thank you. But I cannot- I have never desired your good opinion, and you have certainly bestowed it most unwillingly… Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your connections? To congratulate myself on the hope of relations whose condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own?" (Austen, 142-145). Unfortunately for Darcy, Elizabeth only gets slightly insulted. Her refusal of Darcy was initially because of his treatment of Wickham and his actions toward Jane and Bingley's relationship. Elizabeth's prejudice shows in her actions towards Darcy too. .....

.... the Umuofia Tribe as having a distinct culture and civilization. The tribe is very cultural and its people believe sincerely in their Gods. When they break the Kola nuts and make offerings, they show they are civilized and respect one-another. Also, the Ibo are cultured enough to understand and differentiate among different customs.
