The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the noblest‚ greatest‚ and most adventuresome novel in the world. Mark Twain definitely has a style of his own that depicts a realism in the novel about the society back in antebellum America. Mark Twain definitely characterizes the protagonist‚ the intelligent and sympathetic Huckleberry Finn‚ by the direct candid manner of writing as though through the actual voice of Huck. Every word‚ thought‚ and speech by Huck is so precise it reflects even the racism and

He is hardly ever at home always out and about doing whatever. On the contrary my dad is always encouraging me to go for my education. Also he is
