>3. Finn

I like the fact that Huck is so relatable in the beginning. He seems like a boy  who loves to play around and wants make believe to be real. He doesn't like school, but he does like it. It's sad when his dad comes back and he has to kind of grow up immediately and take care of himself since his dad doesn't take care of him.  

I like how Huck takes care of Jim and Jim takes care of Huck. They have each others' backs  which is a nice thing. I like how Huck runs away and manages to get away by faking his death and such. Though, it must be nerve-wracking  for everyone else at home, even his dad. I like that the book is told from Huck's perspective and not an outside narrator. And I like the dialect it's written in, even if I can't always understand it that well and have to read things twice sometimes.

Overall, I kinda like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn...

    I agree. I really like how the book is told in Huck's point of view. I think that makes it easier to relate to him and feel on a more personal level for him. Mark Twain did a great job making sure we could connect to Huck. I surprisingly really like this book too.

    6/6 FANTASTIC entries for 3/31/09

    All very enjoyable to read. Picoult (sp?) uses that same shifting narration strategy in her book about the school shooting. I wonder if all her books are like that. You have gone above and beyond to hear about other books (Gatsby for example) that you are reading. You are a very impressive student!
