Should Parents Be Allowed To Hit Their Children?

Killing and hurting others intentionally is considered a crime. If a parent hits a child and hurts them isn’t that considered a crime? I believe parents shouldn’t be able to hit their children. Parents shouldn’t be able to hit their children because it could be fatal, and it causes physical & emontional damage, and it doesn’t improve the child.

Fatal means death. If you hit a child in a certain or particular place with a certain amount of force it could kill them. Children aren’t all the way developed so a beating could mean death. Although the purpose wouldn’t be to kill the child just to discipline them, you can never tell. So parents shouldn’t be able to hit their children.

A dramatic experience in your childhood could shape your adult life& your everyday life. Plus it can leave life lasting bruises. Getting hit as a child by your parent can leave you emontionally damaged as well. Some children will feel as if everyone is out to get them. The children may also grow up to despise their parents. Physical damage can be left because a bruise might not heal or an injury may never go away. The emontional damage and physical damage is why parents shouldn’t be able to hit their children.

Hitting a child continuously will not stop them from making mistakes or doing bad things. It will make them share but they will continue to mess up if they know that will be their only punishment. That is why hitting a child is not effective and shouldn’t be used.

To sum up my essay, parents hitting their children shouldn’t be allowed because it could be fatal, cause physical & emotional damage, and it doesn’t work.

Huck Finn : Should It Be Taught?

Known as one of the greatest novels of all time, Huck Finn is still being debated as whether or not it should be taught in high school. Many think it shouldn’t be taught in schools. Some think it should be taught in schools. Some think its should. The ones against it may not understand its complexity & need to be known. Of course it has racist words, but doesn’t textbooks too. Huck Finn is just telling a story, and I believe it should be taught in schools. It shows conflict in the South (whites v. blacks), struggles of runaway slaves, and its historical.

Does, Huck Finn depicted the conflict in the South9 whites v. blacks)? How whites, didn’t respect blacks in that time period. This directly shows the hatred toward one or another. Ms. Watson didn’t respect Jim as a person because she says, “ She couldn’t git eight hund’d dollars for me, on it ‘ uz such a big stack o ‘ money she couldn’t resist. Whites considered blacks as property not a person. They felt as if blacks were inferior to them.

Secondly, Huck Finn should be taught in school because it shows how runaway slaves had to struggle just to escape to freedom. Jim had to duck & hides just not to be seen. For example, “ I got hurt a little, en couldn’t swim fas’ so I wuz a considerable ways behind you towards de las: Just to get to the North many became injured & hurt.

Lastly, Huck Finn is very historical & should be taught. It’s historical because it explains family life during that time, slavery, history, charity etc. It shows how the courts weren’t that good. How they weren’t let someone else have Huck only his dad who was drunk. The judge & the widow went to law to get the court to take me away.

In conclusion Huck Finn should be taught because it shows the lack of respect
(whites. Blacks), struggle of runway slaves, and its historical importance. These factors are all important to the knowledge of history that helps students understand.
