Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain
940 wordsHuckleberry Finn A Racist Novel? There is a major argument among literary critics whether The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is or is not a racist novel.

Huck And Jim Began To Grow
674 wordsI chose to examine the symbolism of the raft and river, and the journey Huck and Jim take on it in Mark Twain's The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn.

As Huck was running from both Pap and the Widow, and Jim was running from Miss Watson the river...
