Huck Finn

In Huck Finn I was drawn into it by the telling of the story from the child’s view point. I liked the adventure and mystery perspective. Rather than having a story drawn out and told like any other story it was turned to a child’s view point, where situations that adults would understand seemed as a mystery to Huck. It was interesting because when he was telling the story he gave thoughts and you could see the progress of Huck from his intellect to his emotions and feelings towards Jim. At first he felt no remorse being mean and playing tricks on him, and as the book progressed, you could see an increase of feelings between Huck and Jim. He began to try and protect him. The adventure part of the novel kept me very interested in the novel. I was at first confused with the language he was using was good and accurate because that is how it was spoken at the time the novel was written, although it took me a while to get used to its structure. Over all I thought the book was good and full of action and adventure. It is a classic story of a young boy looking for adventure and seeking new places to explore. He was seeking himself and trying to find the way he wants to act and be portrayed. You get the full perspective of the times in which this novel is taking place. You get the child, adults, and black men at this time’s views on the situations occurring at the time. It’s a very good all around novel.
