Huck Nation vs Tom Nation There are two sides of everyone, whether anyone knows it or not. The side we show to our friends and family or to strangers we don’t know, our personality varies. Mark Twain used two American characters to portray different outcomes of what America could be like. George Saunders refers that the United States could become the nation of good Huckleberry Finn or the nation of bad Tom Sawyer.
