My name is Greg and I am a student at a Catholic high school in Northern Indiana. I have lived in Indiana for my entire life. I am white, but I do have a sister that is mixed. This allows me to live a somewhat varied life, but with predominantly white characteristics. I also see myself as a sucker for things either very realistic or completely surreal. Slight realism does not really work for me.
These facts, in my opinion, sway my opinion of the The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I enjoyed the novel and believe that it displays an interestingly true depiction of life in the past. I also enjoyed the brashness of Twain's use of "nigger" throughout the novel. This furthered my appreciation of Twain's realistic description of the southern past. Things are not all good for Twain. His ending is a little flat, in my opinion. Overall, Huck Finn is great. I only wish the ending was a little better...
