Blog 8
I believe I will do my essay on the use of the N word in HF. I think it is controversial and offensive but it is necessary for the book to have the impact that it does. I think my thesis will be, “The N word does offend and is in fact meant to offend, because the book is meant to criticism of the south of the time through satire and if it was not offensive then it wasn’t having the right impact.” I think for the body I’ll talk about the word, its use at the time, its use now, censorship and the dangers of altering text. I’ll try to sum up all my ideas in the conclusion.

This is almost exactly what i was going to with my own essay! What you might want to do is talk about how different the book would have been without the use of the N word
