Huck Finn

In Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, he employs a raw narrator as a substitute for an omniscient one. Regarded as one of America’s grandest novels, this novel carries a tone of true Southern feeling as Huck is not only raised in Missouri but also is naïve, young, and uneducated, hence the use of the sometimes vulgar vernacular language. Throughout this “frontier boy’s” adventures the reader is able to further …

…but also provides a very interesting and knowledgeable account of what happens as Huck adventures down the Mississippi. The choice of using Huck as a narrator created a unique, humorous, southern atmosphere where the novel existed and allowed the reader to fully understand the novel through the steps of unravelling the story piece by piece. Without Huck’s narration Huckleberry Finn would not be what it is considered today, a grand novel of its time.
