Huckleberry Finn essay help?

Question:for ap lit summer homework, i just finished reading Huckleberry Finn. now, I have to write a short (2 pg double spaced) essay on whether i support/agree with jane smiley's critique "say it ain't so, huck". i'm having a lot of trouble getting started. we can pick a few points and we don't necessarily have to be completely for or against it. suggestions? ideas?

here it is, but on ours the 4 paragraphs before 'should huckleberry finn be taught in schools?' are cut out.

if the link doesn't work, just google "say it ain't so huck" and click on the fourth link down.

Answers:
As with all bad endings, the problem really lies at the beginning, and at the beginning of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, neither Huck nor Twain takes Jim’s desire for freedom at all seriously, that is, they do not accord it the respect that a man’s passion deserves.

This is your attack, for it is true, that they do not respect Jim IN THE BEGINNING, but as the story progresses, they come to give a grudging respect for who Jim really is
Nah, your teacher won't care if we can come up with a premise and write the essay. (Not that I could.) The whole point is what you, as the student, can do on your own, right?

In what way are you stumped? If you don't know how to begin, come in at the middle, or the end, and backtrack.
