Dear Mr. Twain,
Huck Finn is surely an amusing book to read and the funniest I've read in a literature class. It's satirical nature attracts readers and it also brings up many social issues like racism, morality, ethics, and my favorite, human nature. Moreover, you seem to make almost every character morally ambiguous. As a reader, I have conflicted feelings on almost every character! The conflicted feeling is invited however. In life, no one is truly good or bad and I think it's best to say that it's either the good or the bad deeds that outweighs the others. You certainly have the talent to make serious topics rather funny. However, have you ever thought that by making serious topics less serious would undermine what you were trying to convey to your readers? Your use of the word, "N," does provide a rather profound effect on society. It's amazing how one word used in your book could have a profound affect on people and education. ]
Overall, I would love to hear your inspiration on your work of Huck Finn. The book seems to almost mirror someone's life, perhaps your's? he dialect within this book is so genuine and distinct from the two characters, Jim and Huck. The book is very rich in themes and symbols and my favorite must by Huck's introspective nature. He questions almost every social dogma and he witnesses so much "bad" as a child, I wonder how it'll change him. Some people eventually turn into bad people themselves and use that as an excuse while others become better people.
