Mark Twain And Racism
... Mark Twain holds this belief,
and his writing illustrates it. The use of the word "nigger" does not
merely serve as a point of satire. He is not simply ridiculing the times by
using it, but saying, "this is how it is." He conveys the idea that whites
are superior to blacks in different ways. While he might criticize white

characteristics to all of them by the use of a term like "nigger." By doing

character in the book is racist, even Huckleberry himself. With such lines
as: " ...

The Life Of Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss
... computation. It
is said that as an old man, Gauss said jokingly that he could count before
he could talk. Gauss began elementary school at the age of seven, and his
potential was noticed immediately. He so impressed his teacher Buttner,
and his assistant, Martin Bartels, that they both convinced Gauss's father
that his son should be permitted to study with a view toward entering a
university. Gauss's extraordinary achievement which caused this impression
