      Don't read, take our narrative. We know how busy you are. You want to graduate, right? How will you ever take care of your loved ones if your busy learning the truth! Then you can tell everyone how right you are while you're busy grabbing at random smutted straw, only to hope for survival.

    edit: guys this was 4 years ago. my class was only allowed to read the book during free time in our class, so all we got was an estimated 5/10 minutes each day... it is not that serious. i was fifteen and now i’m twenty. this was ages ago! no need to be harsh. we all consume literature at different rates and that’s okay. hope everyone enjoyed the book!

    Tom is supposed to represent Romanticism, as viewed from the point of view of Mark Twain, who lived in an age of realism. Huck represents the realist. Prior to the Civil War, when times were pretty dull, people wanted to read the wild adventure stories that Tom liked; after living through the real thing, people found the adventure stories pretty silly.

      I really love mark twain and have read both books multiple times and this is so true for both of his novels. Tom is so full of himself and immature. I mean HE. IS. THE. WORST. He's the 1800s version of Caillou! Huck Finn is so much more multifaceted. He actually has a personality and reasonable motivations and is such an easier character to relate to. Plus he actually seems to care for the people around him. :/

    As a person who has read the book; this is INCREDIBLY accurate. Not a singular detail missed!
    Think one of my favorite missed parts of the story was where Aunt Polly was counting screws and Huck kept taking and replacing spoons.

    My least favorite part of the book is when Tom didn't tell Jim and Huck the truth and made them go through more trouble because he wanted "adventure", which was pretty selfish. Besides that, I give the book a 6 or 7 out of 10.

And yes, it's the Democrat party who are the party of racist, Jim Crow, the KKK, the Confederacy, and fought against civil rights or integrated schools. It was the Republicans who freed the slaves, brought about the 14th, 15th, and 16th amendments, the civil rights act, and abolished Jim Crow laws. Those are the facts, I lived through the '50s and '60s, I was there, deny all you want to believe in an agenda, but if you buy into the bullshit that the Democrats are slinging, you are a useful idiot.

      As someone who grew up in the Northeast US, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and later Huck Finn (my dad didn’t let me read Huck until I was 11 because of the language; the only book he wouldn’t let me read) absolutely enthralled me as a child. We have our hicks (I am one) and hillbillies up here, too, but it’s different culturally because of the agriculture/industrial dichotomy of the south and north respectively. Reading those books were like a passport to a different world, even more so than Narnia, Middle Earth or Hogwarts, because Twain’s writings were so viscerally real. If you got time for it, Tom Sawyer is more of a fun tale with less high stakes

I'm Hungarian and Huckleberry Finn used to be my favourite book , for quite some time. I guess having to read it makes it a bit less enjoyable , but still. It's a really fucking good book ! And it's about your culture , not mine!

  • @WistfulnessLonging
    @WistfulnessLonging 13 років тому +1

    The part where Huck is said by the narrator to have pretended that they were not separated (lost) is significant because to have denied (disavowed) the idea of being separated,(lost) means that the Huck fellow is denying (fecalizing) the emotions and senses, of the Jim person.
    That is important because Huck's action is a device to cause dehumanization (psychosis) in the hearer, Jim
    Dehumanized; caused by that simple trick, is what the notion of hierarchy and slavery is.
    .
    Cheers.

      @@amoeba6000 Here is the tip.
      First step is to make a character map. Now question is how? Put a protagonist in the centre draw other circles near him/her write name in circles. Connect them to the others and in arrow between them write their relationship for example siblings. Read their relationship and remember profession names etc. Read it three times.
      (2) : Now it's time for summary. Read summary one time
      (3) : Watch movie, play or animated movie based on the novel
      (4) : Now read summary again.
      It's the best way to memorize your novels and plays in a short time. 😊

    Maybe the "dislikes" WERE from the Duke and Dauphin--i.e., maybe they were upset over the gratuitous change from "Duke and Dauphin" to "Duke and King" (the dauphin was the male heir to the French throne), and I seem to recall that Twain says “Duke and Dauphin” rather than “Duke and King”

    Not judging those who relied on this for your test. But this really is a good read. You’re missing out. But to quote from the man himself: “Mark Twain defined a "classic" as "something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read". So to each his own I guess.
