Twain uses satire the most in the novel to make fun of the way society views things. The first instance of satire is when Tom wanted to copy a scene in an adventure book of ransoming someone, “Ransomed? What’s that? I don’t know. But that’s what they do. I’ve seen it in books; and so of course that’s what we’ve got to do.” (Twain 18). This is ironic because instead of having…

Some misconceptions that are part of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is are appearance of the character of Huck Finn as rough and tumble, nature loving, and typical trouble making young boy. He seems to be rather rough on the edges and insensitive. But as Mark Twain's novel progresses, and more is revealed about Huck's personality, the reader can see that there is more to him then meets the eye. For instance, when Huck is still with the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson, he realized that he…

J.D. Brewer once said “ Where would the end be? Will the idea- the definition- of perfection stay the same? No. Perfection is too fickle. It's in our nature to never be satisfied. We always think we can do more. That quote from Brewer ties into the story The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain because the topic of this essay is about how the ending of the book was flawed and the quote is about things being imperfect and people never being satisfied. The ending of The Adventures of…

I…

Name of agency and location The agency that I have been placed at is the Women’s Transitional Living Center (WTLC) in Orange, California. The community that the shelter serves is comprised of survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking as well as victims of mental illness and substance abuse (WTLC, n.d.a). They also serve especially vulnerable populations such as transgender persons, emancipated youth, and persons coming out of the prison system (WTLC, n.d.a). This agency is the third…

The way I understand ethical holism is that it focuses not on certain individuals, but rather on the bigger picture. The welfare of the species overall is what matters. If an individual is killed and as a consequence no harm is done to the species itself, then killing can be justified. Maintaining the species is important and crucial in order for our planet’s ecology to prosper and a death of single individual might not seem so significant, unless the species is endangered. I think that’s where…

“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” had gained popularity and a sequel was heavily requested. Yet, Twain was worried that Tom's romantic personality would not fit with the ideas that he wanted to introduce in this novel. This led Twain to choose Toms loyal, yet naive sidekick, Huck. Hucks innocence and ignorance adds a light hearted spin on the book which is much needed considering that…
