Huck Finn is, alongwith Faulkner's Sound and Fury, The Greatest American Novel. The novel is a slap at hillarious romantic chivalry, a great adventure story, to evolution of a man coming of age, as well as a plea to end slavery. I too what forced to read this novel in high school (this year), not once but twice. I am indebted to my teachers. The sinking of the Sir Walter Scott, Huck's decision to endure perdition in order to save Jim, and Tom and Huck's quioxic rescue of Jim are some of the most fantastic scenes in literature. The vernacular is well employed by Twain, not in a racist way, but in a tolerant one. As Huck travels farther into the slave country, he realizes That Jim is a man just like himself. Huck even says that "I knowed He Was White." Huck understands the implications of disagreeing with the orthodox barriers of the time (Walter Scott), but he knowingly Violates thesis supposed values to set Jim free. A boat accident OCCURS and the response to the question of Whether anyone is what killed "Nome. Killed a nigger." Twain is satirizing the stupidity of this response, not Advocating a racist dogma. Jim and Huck discuss the factthat Frenchmen talk in a different manner from Themselves, but Frenchmen are silent men. Huck and Jim speak differently, but Both are men. This is the messege of this timeless classic. All American novels come from one novel, Huck Finn. If I'd a know'd how hard it what to write a review, I would not a written one in the first place.
