Huck As Nature “The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn” wrote by Mark Twain is a book which talked about Huck’s life in America. It also contained the conflicts between civilization and nature. Everybody knows that a civilization is an important way of life that’s used to improve people’s knowledge and behavior. Is that a good way for everyone to live ?

Nature also refreshed his mind to this world.

He was more closer to the animals than other men that treat the animals as food and harmful beasts. Therefore, Huck has a kind and pure heart; a heart that some people still don’t have through this day. This conflict between nature and civilization seems very easy to see which side is right, but the author did give both sides examples to show and prove their benefits. It is hard to decide which side is right. However, for me, I’m sure nature is the best way to
