Huck Finn
I found Huck Finn to be a hard read for me for some reason. I really did not like the tone or language it was wrote in. In my opinion it is very important book in teen adolesence though. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY TOM SAWYER SHOWED UP IN THE END. He seems to be very immature and that he kept Huck down. I kind of teared up at the part about the funeral. The most enjoyable part of the whole book was Mark Twain's humor. Even during uncomfortable situations and tough moments the next pge would be a joke. One of the most important parts of the book was when Huck began to grow up and mature. I also like when he told Sally that the slve family would reunite because that showed alot of growth. Really she was hurting and he had sympathy for hr and looked for a wy to make her feel better.

I thought this book did have a very strange language. Some parts were difficult to figure out at the beginning, especially by Jim, but I thought it did add something to the book. The dialect let the reader really get into the character. I agree with you and thought it was odd to bring Tom Sawyer back. He pulled Huck back down when he had made tremendous personal growth. It actually really angered me, but it was a way for the reader to really invest emotions in the novel. Another idea is that Twain just wanted to add closure to the relationship between Huck and Tom.
