We looked at some thematic statements in anticipation of our new novel adventure "Huckleberry Finn". We discussed in class if we agreed with the statement or not
If something is wrong to everyone else, it should be wrong to you.
Anyone who believed slavery was an acceptable way of life was a bad person.
Society has little effect on your morality.
It is wrong to steal, even when you are starving.
People who are not formally educated are ignorant.
Society’s decisions on what is right and wrong are correct MOST OF THE TIME.
What is right and wrong in our time period should be right and wrong in all time periods.
Members of a society are morally obligated to follow what is socially right and wrong.
If a friend breaks the law, you have the obligation to turn him or her in.
People need to believe in hell because without it they would have no reason to do good and avoid evil.
You can tell when people come from a good family or the right neighborhood, or have gone to the right schools because they tend to behave with a lot of class.
Students picked up the novel from the library. We listened to the first chapter of the book. Chapters two and three should be read as homework.
I am providing two resources for this book. One is the audio files, which can be downloaded to your computer or listening device.

The other is the actual text of the book online.

It is recommended that you listen to the book as you read it. You will be responsible for the homework, and quizzing over the assigned reading is possible.
