This story is controversial because of its racism. In this story they treat jim the main black character like a fool. Since jim ranaway and huck went missing around the same time they charged jim for supposedly killing huck. This story provides racial tensions in classrooms.
The story treats jim bad and view him as a dumb "n" word. The widow and ms. watson dress jim with dirty clothes ripped, dirty, and stitched up clothes. The kids woke him up purposely and call him a big "n" word.
The story is very racist when it comes to blaming someone for huckleberry murder. They don't blame the person who kidnapp Huck. they didn't even arrest him for kidnapping huck or breaking in the widows house. They blame the slave who went missing after huck is thought to be dead.
When you read the story you come past the "n" word alot. when tachers allow students to read aloud or read excerpts from the story sometimes they say the "n" word. Some students take this word offensive and especially when said by different races. So this could cause bad tensions in class.
The story is very controversial in many ways. One way the story is controversial is it's very racist. In the story there is alot of racism towards jim. This story can cause racial tensions in schools.
