　　Ernest Hemingway probably made the best conclusion when he said , “ All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.” First published in 1885, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is now  1  to be one of the Great American Novels. However, the book was once labeled offensive by some readers. It was even banned in schools for its  2  of the word “nigger”, which was regarded as a sign of racism . But on the contrary, the novel is in fact against  3  . In the book, Twain  4  the character of Jim, a runaway slave who convinces Huck that African-Americans are  5  the freedom, and that equality is a goal for which we all should be fighting.
　　Mark Twain wrote Adventures of Huckleberry Finn twenty years after the American Civil War. Slavery had been abolished, the North and South were  6  , and America regained peace. So why publish a tale about a system that was no longer in  7  ? Weren’t race issues a meaningless point once slavery was out of the picture?
　　Although the Emancipation Proclamation (《解放宣言》) had been signed over two decades before Huckleberry Finn’s original publication date, African-Americans everywhere were still  8  of oppression and racism. Freedom didn’t mean equality by any means-not legally, socially, or practically. Actually, this isn’t an outdated idea at all. Rules and laws often don’t  9  reflect what’s really going on. From a legal standpoint today, we have equality of race, yet racism is still a problem. Men and women are  10  , yet many still see a “glass ceiling” for women in the workplace, meaning they often have unseen  11  to advancement.
　　That doesn’t mean laws are  12  . Laws may not immediately lead to change, but we’ve seen that they do  13  how people act and change the way we think. We can’t rely on laws alone. We need people like Mark Twain to  14  us not to be self-congratulatory (自鸣得意) for starting a process, but instead to realize that greater change is always  15  .
