I don’t think hurtful or derogatory words should be
removed or replaced from the novel because without out these words, the story wouldn't be the same. For instance, why would you name a book with the “N” word
and not use it in the story, to me it just doesn't make any sense. When the
author uses the hurtful/derogatory words I feel like I'm actually there witnessing the story right before my eyes.

The novel isn't relevant in today’s society, but it
was in the early 1900's. When segregation was in command, the blacks were
treated like slaves, as opposed to the white people. The African American
people that were treated differently from the white thought that they were
being humiliated and treated as second-hand citizens, because they we told to work and take care after the whites.

I personally think that reading a fiction story that captures
some/most of the historical lessons is much better than reading an old boring
history book. The reason I say this is because when reading a fiction story,
the reader is generally engaged in the book and will continue to read to find
out what happens, but if we're reading a boring history textbook, we would probably
HATE reading a couple of pages because the information doesn't excite us
as it does in the story.
