His father was a drunk who would disappear for months on random occasions. Huck is typically dirty and homeless. Eventually he goes to live with Widow

    Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer are Mark Twain’s two most memorable characters. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn experience a life of adventure in and out of role-play‚ weaving through danger with a childish disregard for personal well being.
