Reader Responce 1: (ch.1-6)

" They told me there was a State in this country where they'd let that n-word vote, I drawed out. I says I'll never vote again."
(Chapt 6, pg.20, par 2). They told me that theres a State in the country that let the n-word vote. I stoped. I will never vote again.


I think that this quote was very racist, especially whe Pap says he would never vote just because somebody let a black person vote which was stupid. This quote relates to my life because now when i get older i can vote and nobody would have a problem with it like he did. I guess at that time white people wasn't use to hearing that a black person is a college professor and that he can vote, but now everbody is use to hearing it.


I believe that Mark Twain didn't think nothing of what was said. I think Mark Twian was used to hearing stuff like that then so he didn't care much of it. In his life I think Mark Twain was use to hearing ignorant staements like was Pap said so it didnt fase him.
