Regionalism And Humor In Huck Finn
1,027 words... icon is evident when he states, House was jammed again that night, and we sold this crowd the same way (Twain 224).

This illiterate speech, which in its proper place, is charming, but in other places it, is found to be an inadequate language. The speech is emotionally right but socially wrong. Huck ent...

Even before the story of Huck Finn starts, Twain has an explanatory section explaining his use of dialects.

Huckleberry Finn Huck Doesnt
1,283 wordsHuckleberry Finn A Racist Novel? There is a major argument among literary critics whether Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is or is not a racist novel. The question boils down to the depiction of Jim, the black slave, and to the way he is treated by Huck and other characters. The use of the word nigger is also a point raised by some critics, who feel that Twain uses the word too much and too loosely. Mark Twain never presents Jim in a negative light. He does not show Jim as a drunkard, as a mean...
