It seems to be that although America has made some ardent strides in the Huck direction, it still has a long ways to go.

Tom was great. I also liked how you acknowledged the younger generation normally follows their parents. Normally, when kids are growing they tend to share the same beliefs their parents have just because they are their parents. When kids grow up and become more knowledgeable, they either agree with their parents based on their new knowledge or they disagree with their parents view.

It's hard for people to be like Huck and be able to see things differently. After reading the article, I felt like Saunders was saying that Americans today fell into either the United States of Tom or Huck, but I like how you conclude that we are all in the United States of Tom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
