The story involves creation from nothing.
In the beginning there were no animals or humans, plants or trees. God uttered a command and the world began.

The story depicts a small amount of earth expanding, resulting in the origin of Earth.
When there was no Earth, a gigantic cormorant dived into the water in search of food. When it returned to the surface, a small lump of mud sticking to its beak fell on the water. The lump grew until it brought up some mud that later became an island. The island grew into Earth.

The story tells how natural forces interact to begin creation.
Once upon a time, the Sky and his younger brother, the Sea, got into a sword fight. The sparks from their swords formed the planets.

In at least 150 words, explain the controversy that continues to surround The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Nikolay [14]

The controversy that surrounds the novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is particularly due to the fact that schools and libraries across the US have been drawn into debates about censorship context included int the novel , the regional dialects and the stereotypes of African American lives shown in the novel. Mark Twain included words in this novel, that has been previously noted as offensive, to properly pro tray the southern lifestyle and these words included have therefore helped to cause the controversy over it. These terms, if not understood as an element of realism, can be inappropriate or disturbing for young readers to have read. Characters in the novel also follow stereotypes of the African American lifestyle that can be seen as an insult if the reader doesn't understand the author's intention of displaying those stereotypes. Twain uses satire in the novel to show the social injustices of the 1900's and if the reader doesn't understand the intentions of the author by including it, it can be seen as highly offensive, and inappropriate, causing a spark of controversy.
