The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain
Discuss This Book--This book was very similar to Tom Sawyerr, given the time it took palce, the characters who were in the book, and the beliefs of the characters. This book, though, was seen through the eyes of Huck, and consequently the words were spoken through his uneducated mouth, which gave the book a much more personable feel.
The Adventures of Huck start up where Tom Sawyer left off. Huck likes adventure, but he is quite a bit different than Tom Sawyer. Huck is such a simple minded person, that he has not acquired some of the grand ideas about "the right way to do things" that Tom has. Huck seems to be more interested in what is right, morally.
To those of you that manage to find racism in even the smallest comments, all I can tell you is that you are missing out on a great novel. This book, if read fully, and comprehensively, does not in any way condone racism, rather it shows how incorrect racism really is. In fact, this book was written after the times of slavery, for the specific purpose of comdenming the practice. Mark Twain was a rather peaceful person, and conveys some of his beliefs through Huck, who can't find it within himself to agree with the bigotry he's learned.
