Essay Prompt for Wednesday, January 2nd
Ernest Hemingway, in his praise about Huckleberry Finn, states that:
All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. If you read it you must stop where the Nigger Jim is stolen from the boys. That is the real end. The rest is just cheating.
Explain Hemingway's possible rational for this statement. Do you believe it to be a valid statement?
