The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Intro



I have been following a blog where the author has been reading Huckleberry Finn. From the posts that I have read, the plot sounds compelling. It seems to focus around the development of 2 characters, the protagonist Huck Finn and a slave Jim. The story was written prior to 1865, so in addition to an interesting storyline, the book could give me more insight into life of the times, a bit of a history lesson perhaps. Although I’ve never read any of Mark Twain’s works, I’m sure it’s fantastic. I know I will enjoy a story that has been popular long past its publishing. I have a feeling I’ll be able to draw some connections in between Holden, from Catcher and Huck Finn. I look forward to getting lost in an all-time classic story!
