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

Despite how Tom speaks crudely of the “dark-skinned Hawaiians and the woolly-heeded Feejees” (pg 217)‚ we can see his diminishing anxiety about racial contact and understanding of his own position as a European American in the mid nineteenth century. Tom is compassionate towards the

He said some of it‚ but the rest was out of pirate books and robber books‚ and every gang that was high toned had it” (Twain 10).

    Huckleberry Finn – Morality Society establishes their own rules of morality‚ but would they be accepted in these days? For example‚ throughout the novel "Huckleberry Finn "‚ Mark Twain depicts society as a structure that has become little more than a collection of degraded rules and precepts that defy logic. This faulty logic manifests itself early‚ when the new judge in town allows Pap to keep custody of Huck. "The law backs that Judge Thatcher up and helps him to keep me out
