#huckleberryswag

I noticed that the dialect Twain used in this novel was very significant to this time period. He used some words that aren't used in today's language very often, some of the words are also unique in just the way they are pronounced by Huck because of his poor grammatical skills and lack of intellect on the English language. Its interesting and it is definitely how you would expect a 13 year old boy to talk back in the late 1800's.

  1. I agree with what you said. The dialect used really sets the mood for how the people grew up. A lot can happen over a period of time and its nice to go back and learn the past events.
