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.

Point Of View Huck Finn
725 wordsThroughout the Mark Twain (a. k. a. Samuel Clemens) novel, The Adventures of HuckleBerry Finn, a plain and striking point of view is expressed by the author.

Twain seems to be sharing a joke with you, the reader, but Huck is...
