Final Review


Imagine being in horror movie where this cruel evil person is chasing after you!If you stay in that place for a little longer you know what might end up happening to you. The only solution you have is to have a plan and escape to somewhere safe. This is what the character Huckleberry Finn has to experience when he finds out that his supposedly dead father is not dead. If you haven’t gone on an extraordinary adventure now is the time, by reading The adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain.
Who would have known that the fate of this boy named Huckleberry Finn was to end up living with these two widows. Just as things were starting to go easy on Huckleberry another load of news hits him right on the face. It turned out that his father was found alive.
The connection between the characters in the book stands out whether its love, caring, or dislike. Huckleberry is a boy who has experience living with other people. He started of living with these two lonely widows who he soon seems to adapt to. Although his relationship was of to a bad start it became better, he felt loved and welcomed with the widows. He encounters a runaway slave who is going to play a major role throughout the book. As the author Mark Twain writes and describes the relationship between Huckleberry and his friends there are a lot in which not only teens but adults can relate to.
Huckleberry starts of by being an uncivilized boy who just causes a lot of problems. As the book starts growing with suspense, mysteries and excitement-the author Mark Twain cleverly puts in scenes in which the character starts changing due to the environment that surrounds him. An example of this would be that his friends encouraged him to do bad things which would lead him to problems. There were certain times where he was a victim of cruel people who lied to him and told him everything was for his own sake.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn makes you feel and experience the emotions the characters go through. It is a chance for those who don’t really like adventure books to love them. Other adventure books aren’t a competition to this book, not even Indiana Jones or Magic Tree House series is as good.
