truth and where he hid the money because he saw her crying and felt bad for her. Deciding to tell her the truth and help her was very mature of him to do when he could have just left with Jim. When Huck and Tom were trying to rescue Jim, Huck was being serious about trying to free Jim. But Tom thought of this as just as an adventure, even though he knew Jim was free this whole time. The differences between them show how…

absurd when Tom adds layer upon layer of difficulty to it, due to viewing it “as mild as goosemilk” (208). This sheds more light onto Tom’s character, as it shows how Tom adores adventure, even when it makes things overly complicated. Tom’s reading material led him to believe that for anything to be truly exciting, there had to be difficulties to it. Because of this, Tom wants to do things like dig a hole under the shed when he could, easily, take the key. Another example of this is when Tom…

A common debate topic in football, Tom Brady and his place in football history. Today’s generation of football fans seem to forget about all the “soon to be” retired legends that will end up in the hall of fame.

One might assume that a book laden with antiquated sentence structure and an ornate writing style as seen in novels like A Tale of Two Cities would be a tough text to get through. While they would not be incorrect in this belief, my personal experience tells me that the vernacular of a young white runaway and an escaped black slave may be even more difficult to decipher. Though the Missourian dialect and the themes of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn initially created adversity in my abilities as…

Twain uses caricature to indicate the society’s view on…

Mark Twain’s ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ novel is an interesting novel that has received mixed reactions and criticism. It was published in 1884 I did not like for Mark Twain to keep using the word ‘nigger’ frequently in the novel. This is because the phrase was and still is frequently used to negatively stereotype African-Americans during slavery and currently. Slavery had been abolished by the US Congress several years before this novel was written. The novel is believed to be full of…

The dialect that he uses allows people to connect and be closer to the characters, it also allows readers to understand and believe the story more (Alexander). The reason behind that is because he also wrote was local color, or the showing the dialect, history, or customs of the area (Samuel).
