The Adventures Of Huckleberry :: essays research papers

When you start open the book of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn youll notice a notice and an explanatory written by the one and only crisscross Twain himself. The explanatory explains how Mark Twain uses language and dialect to differentiate between certain characters. "I make this explanation for the reason that without it many readers would reflect that all these characters were trying to talk alike and not succeeding." The notice basically says that for anyone who attempts to find a meaning, moral, plot, and or motive, will be shot. So shoot Mr. Brovsky, his first hour class, and myself.     Its surprising to see that this book went by so quickly for me. The more I enjoy a book, the faster it goes by for me. Now buns to finding a plot. What I liked especially about this book was its linear time line. There wasnt that much jumping around in time. Everything came by and by everything else. The book is divided into three basic sections Life before the river, life on the river, and life after the river. The river has its crooks and bends and the plot following them. The river as a symbol in the book is great. Lifes ups and lifes down are well represented in the river.     The point of view of this book was also one of the very trounce aspects of this book. Huck Finn was written in the first person point of view with Huckleberry Finn telling the story. Even in the beginning, Huckleberry reminds the reader of what happens at the end of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. "You dont go to sleep about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer but that aint no matter." (page 3) Huckleberry exclaims himself. Mark Twain writes with such piquantness and detail that you feel like youre right there with Huck. While Huckleberry is in the cabin at night and his dad is having a nightmare, Mark Twain paints a wonderful picture of how Huck if feeling. "He chased me round and roun d the place with a clasp-knife, calling me the Angel of Death, and saying he would kill me,& angstrom unit8230I begged, and told him I was only Huck but he laughed such a screechy laugh, and roared and cussed, and kept on chasing me up." (page 29)     Mark Twain has been labeled by critics as a funny man and not a great writer, yet I believe that he is a great writer because he can incorporate his humor into a 13 year old boys way of life.
