"He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me, he loves me not." Try reading a book that doesn't really make any sense at all to you. Would you love it, hate it, or you wouldn't be really sure? "The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn" is one of the most confusing books I've ever read so far. At first I hated it because it didn't really make any sense to me, but after reading it some more I actually started to like it. If you really got deep into the actual meaning of the book and why the author wrote this book then it would be an amazing book. The main things of this book that I really liked were the language, the adventures, and the character Huckleberry Finn.
" Yo' ole father doan know yet what he's a gwyne to do. Sometimes he spec he'll go' way en den ag'in he spec he'll stay." If we were to say that now in the present it would make way more sense, and would be easier to pronounce. This is how it would look if we were to say that now ... " Your old father don't know yet what he's going to do. Sometimes he says he'll go away and then again he say he'll stay." That would be more appropriate for now in the future, but back then they probably wouldn't understand our language compared to theirs. So even though I could not read the language that well, I challenged myself and tried to pronounce each and every word as though it were the same time period back then.
"I fooled Pap and got away." Huck Finn had to go move in with his father Pap. But as Pap was abusive and liked to control things, Huck decided to pretend his death and run away. He ran away on a wooden boat and ended up on Jackson Island. Huck then found Jim on that island and also found out that he was there because he ranaway from Ms.Watson to go to Cairo to get enough money to buy his family back. This was a great adventure because it had a lot of action, and also a lot of surprises as they traveled to Cairo. If their weren't any adventures throughout this whole book, then this book would have no type of back bone.
Huckleberry Finn: Smart, Energetic and Fun. These 3 words to me defines Huckfinn in many ways. I can definitely say that he was my favorite character of the whole story. Huck is very energetic, from running away from his Pap, and acting like the little girl just to get some food from the lady. He's smart because he had lied to the white men about having a runaway slave on his wooden boat, when he really did but all along he was just trying to protect Jim from getting caught. If Huckfinn was a real person now in 2009 I think he would be a great person to hang out with, and also a very good friend because he's loyal and trustworthy.
To wrap things up, the language, adventures, and Huckleberry Finn were the main 3 things I liked about this book. You may disagree with me but you cannot prove me wrong. I really didn't understand the point of this book besides the slavery and other things but I can truely say that I enjoyed reading this book. I would totally recommend this book to other people just because it confuses you in the beginning but as you get deeper into it you actually understand it, and that suprised me a lot.
