huck finn

Blast the Human Race In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain there is a sense of downright bashing of the human race. From the beginning, someone is either despicable, a cheater, or just plain nasty. Mark Twain shows us the inhumanity, selfishness, and horrible acts of the human race, all through the eyes of one young boy, Huckleberry Finn. Although Twain writes about a lot of bad things, he doesn’t lead us …

…We get a glimpse of hope when Tom Sawyer returns. If Mark Twain wanted us to believe otherwise then the last 70 pages wouldn’t have been written, with the last scene, the freeing of Jim, and characters like Huck and Mary Jane, we see that the generations to come do have hope. Although there are a lot of dents and scratches in the mirror of humanity, the true goodness of people can still be seen.
