When you were little you might have been asked to find the purpose, or lesson behind a story. Such as in If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the lesson teaches you the meaning of the statement, “If you give someone an inch they’ll take a mile.” In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the lesson teaches you the saying “it’s easy to stand with the crowd; it takes courage to stand alone.” People view ideas differently, therefore not everyone loves cheesecake; in the same regard not everyone will have the same opinions and beliefs. In this novel the main character, Huckleberry Finn, didn’t quite believe in what everyone else did. He wasn’t a civilized, full hearted Christian. He was the type of person who would rather stand alone and be right than follow

bullfight, which was held in Dodge City, Kansas. Nearby, a well-known American Classic, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, was published. During this time slavery was a well debated topic. Though both northern and southern states were full hearted Christians, they didn’t see eye to eye on slavery. The northern states were more commonly known as abolitionists who wanted to terminate slavery. Society in the southern states however thought slavery was necessary. Everyone in the south had the same perspective on African Americans; they were thought of as unworthy, dirty, and unimportant, so therefore their race was undervalued. They didn’t get the same education or treatment the indigenous people got. If you disagreed with them you would be ridiculed. Within the first years of the novel’s publication, the audience was anyone who lived in the southern states. Mark Twain wanted his point of view to come across and change other peoples perspective on what slavery is. He wanted all the whites to know that blacks have feelings just like they do. When you fast forward to current time slavery is abolished but that doesn’t mean the book should be. Now the audience is for those who don’t treat others fairly regardless of color, religion, or race. Comparing the audiences between then and now society has changed through leaps and bounds.

In my opinion, out of these four writing tricks Mark Twain used tone the best. Tone is purely the attitude the author uses while he writes. Rebellious is a way to describe the style in this novel. One of the many examples of this trick comes during the first few pages. When the readers get introduced to Widow Douglas we know she is a Christian who wants to teach Huck about the Bible and how to act properly; however, he isn’t too fond of the idea. He challenges society by going his own way; he joins his best friend, Tom Sawyer, in starting up their own band of robbers. This uncivilized behavior is completely disapproved of by Widow Douglas.

Society told him that it was considered wrong to become friends with a black person, but again Huck defied. He put the societal image behind him and became friends with Jim. This again shows Twain’s tone of
