Few seventh graders will understand Huckleberry Finn. It's over the heads of many adults--maybe most.

If that's true the government indoctrination centers and parenting today, are even worse than I thought. Are you making a personal statement here? I don't know of anyone I'm aquainted with that this would exceed their understanding, young or old.

But then again, I don't suffer the company of fools.

Most public presentations of Huck--movies, drawings, etc--describe a harmless, cute little boy with freckles. Huck is nothing like that; he is an epic hero. His truth is profound, subversive, and threatening, and he is bowlerized as a defense against it.

"I don't know of anyone I'm aquainted with that this would exceed their understanding, young or old."

Then either you are surrounded by geniuses, or you don't understand it yourself.

"But then again, I don't suffer the company of fools."

Maybe you don't recognize them.
