Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Samuel Clemens, whose pen name is Mark Twain, publishes Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in 1885 in America. He has been at work for eight years on the story of an outcast white boy, Huck, and his adult friend Jim, a runaway slave, who together flee Missouri on a raft down the Mississippi River in the 1840s. The book's free-spirited and not always truthful hero as well as its lack of respect for religion or adult authority drew immediate fire from newspaper critics. The ungrammatical vernacular voice in which Huck narrates the book was also attacked as coarse and inappropriate. Some readers found the colorful stories Huck tells immoral, sacrilegious, and inappropriate for children. The Concord, MA, library banned Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a month after its publication, calling it "trash and suitable only for the slums." Other libraries followed suit.
In the decades after Twain's death in 1910, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn gains the status of a masterpiece. Novelist Ernest Hemingway remarks that "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn," and other writers as diverse as American poet T. S. Eliot and African American novelist Ralph Ellison add their acclaim. It is increasingly studied at both the high school and college level, where its literary merit and the insights it offers into American society are praised. In particular, some consider Twain's satire to be a powerful attack on racism.
Others see Adventures of Huckleberry Finn not as an attack on racism, but as inherently racist itself. African Americans and others, led by the NAACP, begin to challenge the book in the 1950s, appalled by the novel's portrayal of the slave Jim and its repeated use of the word "nigger." The book is removed from some schools in the New York City school system, and its place on required reading lists is threatened in other cities.
Debates about Adventures of Huckleberry Finn continue to the present day. The crux of the controversy remains race, although some, notably Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jane Smiley for example, assert that the book's reputation as a literary classic is exaggerated. In 1998, Kathy Monteiro, parent of a student in a Tempe, AZ, high school, sued the school district, claiming that an already tense racial environment was exacerbated by the assignment of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as required reading. Although the judges decline to ban the book, they do state that a school district has a legal duty to take reasonable steps to eliminate a racially hostile environment and can be held liable for damages if they fail to make this effort. While Monteiro and her supporters hail this as a victory, the questions of whether Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contributes to a racially hostile environment and whether it should be assigned in high school remain unresolved.
What happened to the book Adventures of Huckleberry Finn when published in 1885？
A．It was banned by many libraries as trash in the U. S.
B．The book was attacked to be coarse and inappropriate.
C．It was praised for its free-spirited and truthful hero.
D．It was praised for the colorful stories it narrates.

In some ways, Ralph Ellison's protagonist in Invisible Man emblematizes
what might be called the "presentist simplicity" of the novel's endorsement of
industrial, imperialist, xenophobic American myth-making. Layer upon layer of
Line allusion mark its chapters, which in combination with the novel's Homeric
(5) ambitiousness, serve finally to obscure rather than to prophesy the actual,
engaged, advanced-guard, public sphere effectiveness of American blacks
already at work modernizing the United States. Simply stated, Ellison believed
morality, equality, and responsibility were affirmative "notions", but blacks, at
the very moment of Invisible Man's glorious reception, were transforming
(10) "notions" into decisively affirmative actions, by courageously putting body and
soul on the line and constructing a sphere of American ethical publicity
undreamed by the novelist. Ellison thus remained silent on the possibilities of an
altogether "unexceptional" America-a post-industrial, radically black public
sphere conditioned America.
The author is primarily concerned with
A．criticizing Ellison on the basis of reactionary assumptions his work makes about politically-involved blacks
B．exposing the limitations of Ellison's novel when compared with the actual work performed by black workers and activists
C．chronicling the effects Ellison's novel had upon the black activist movements of the 1960's
D．comparing Ellison's view of post-industrial black America with that of the activists working at the time
E．critically describing Ellison's approach as novelist to the task of ethical publicity
