I have been reading the opinions of the members of this list with great interest and appreciate the insight given by the many experts on this list. I just read the review of the collection of essays on teaching Huck in the high school classroom and have been following closely the many comments about using Huck and now wish to enter the arena. I am an English III AP instructor in high school who has been using The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for several years. My class emphasis American Literature and I cannot see having such a class with Mr. Twain. Does the list think there is a more appropriate Twain novel that I should use in a class that is trying to prepare young minds for the wonderful world of college? Thanks for your suggestions, John Meriwether Ball High School Galveston, Texas
