Undermining its vast popularity‚ this novel is however one of the most commonly banned books in the United States. Prejudice language‚ racism‚ and the coarse depiction of Huck Finn are causes of this social uproar. I believe The Adventures of Huckleberry

Individual Against Society The theme of the individual against society is central to the play. Throughout we find evidence of the pressures on individuals to conform to what society expects from them.

The viewpoint is to show Jim‚ Judy‚ and Plato are motivated by their own twisted upbringings. Society stands in the way of their rebellion and from this we understand the social outcast aspect as well as the
