Ernest Hemingway once said that all American literature came from one book: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. According to Hemingway, it’s “the best book we’ve got.” However, other scholars and students of literature dare to disagree with this assessment.

Support or refute Ernest Hemingway’s claim. Take a stand for or against the inclusion of this novel as required high school reading. Develop your reasons for or against the novel’s stature as an icon of American literature.

Thus, you will need support from both the novel and “real life” when constructing your arguments and marshalling your support
