    Huckleberry Finn Part 1 Richard Wetherill Mark Twain’s novel Huckleberry Finn struck a deep chord with me. I hunt‚ fish‚ boat‚ hike‚ camp‚ am an Eagle Scout‚ and love the outdoors. Both Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer spent most of their spare time in the outdoors and I could identify with their lifestyles. I especially identified with the part of the story when Huck was living on the raft. Huck Finn and Jim were living off of the land- catching fish‚ turtles‚ and anything that they

    Adventures of Huckleberry Finn very difficult to read. I often find myself re-reading the paragraph just to understand what it means after not getting it the first time.

For example "Yo’ Ole Father doan ’ know yit what hes a-gwyne to do" is what Jim had said to

    Adventures of Huckleberry Finn‚ Twain ironically violates the same offenses he victimizes Cooper for. “Chapter 17” violates a plethora of these rules‚ a few being allowing miracles or other events to be reasonable and possible‚ characters having a meaningful presence‚ and the avoidance of needless information. Mark Twain states that events‚ even if miracles‚ should be predictable and reasonable‚ through the characters of the book(1433). “Chapter 17” of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn violates this
