Huck's dad was the dead man in the floating house and Aunt Sally wanted to adopt Huck but Huck just wanted to run away. what is the criticism of the third part of this novel? It is too coincidental that the Phelps were related to Tom Sawyer and that he was coming to visit the same day that Huck arrived. Jim's rescue was too long and drawn out. Huck and Jim regress as characters because they always caved in to Tom's plans. Huck as the realist and Tom as the romantic Twain is satarizing romanticism. Tom creates adventure and danger from books her reads. Huck faces real life dangers and obstacles. How are Huck and Jim heroic? They are both outcast whom society does not accept. Huck is heroic because of his kindness, goodness, slef-reliance, and changing attitude about Jim. Jim is heroic because he protected Huck and Tom and he missed his family aspects of naturalism Mississippi river as indiferent and Huck and Jim trapped by their situation aspects of regionalism Mississippi river, dialect, river towns, real places (st. louis, Cairo), the feud, attitudes and actions of the people of the time and place (slavery) aspects of realism all of the above and also Huck's moral struggle, details of the journey, believable characters and events (abusive father in Pap), and depiction of human nature (greed, hpocracy, and cruelty, but some goodness) Why could the book be seen as racist? Twain depicts the people's attitudes which are racist, use the word nigger more than 200 times, depiction of Nat and even Jim sometimes ase foolish, idiotic, and always talking about witchcraft. this book has been banned from schools and can be offensive to people because nigger is refering to blacks as slaves and lesser than whites. Why could the book be seen as non-racist? he uses the word nigger because thats what people said back then and was painting a realistic picture, the main character is black and heroic, Huck changes his attitude about Jim, and Twain uses satire against slavery and slave owners. Why is this novel a classic? It is 125 years old, you will not forget the characters over time, it has universal themes (growing up and predudice) depiction of time and place is very well done, and people are still reading beyond its own time.
