Huckleberry Finn
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn should be taught in schools, but not for the reasons were used to. People think we read books to advance in our vocabulary and learn literature elements. This book isn’t the best for that, however it includes an excellent insight of Literature, show you many ways to write and is an exceptional quest story.
When looking at this story my thoughts were racing around the idea of what was Mark Twain thinking? By wondering this I’m getting a better insight of Literature. Being curious about why did the character do that? Why is he here? Or even why was that necessary? This is all educational, because were getting a perspective of writing.
People say “Oh this book is so illiterate.” However, Mark Twain did a brilliant thing here; he brought three types of writing in and it fit perfectly. He has Jim talking illiterate by saying stuff like “I come heah de night arter you’s killed.” Then he has Huck with the southern tone and the widow with that speaks very proper and civilized. When you learn how to write in different ways, you just learn a great skill.
My final reason why it should taught at school is it gives you a view of an outstanding quest story. It has a questor, whose Huck. A place to go and tons of obstacles, such as avoiding being found and the gang they ran into.
As I stated before this book is very educational just not in the ways were used to. These three ways I explained give you another outlook of writing you never had before.
