My blog will probably be worse than Darren, Zack, and Ryan

     The story starts off in a small town in the South, relatively poor, with a river in a forest near the town. The people aren't that smart and most drink a lot, including Huck's Dad.  Slavery is legal and the unintelligent are superstitious. Even though it seems like a bad place the people are nice and some good-hearted. All of the kids go to school but Huck tolerates it and play hooky with Tom Sawyer a lot.

    I agree with you that Twain's choice of setting set up much of the characterizations in the story. The local dialect used by Huck and the townsfolk also contributed to the immersion of the story.

    The small town was based on Hannibal Missouri.
