I
felt it was a little peculiar that the main character, Huck, mentioned the
author and the last book that the author wrote. I think Mark Twain did that for
more publicity or he wanted to address his last book so people would go back
and read “The Adventures of Tom sawyer”. Anyways, I think the book started
pretty quick, usually books have some background involved but this book jumped
right in to Tom and Huck finding treasure. That was a pretty big event, usually
books don’t have big events that early in the book. This book has horrible
grammar and spelling, it gives me a headache trying to read it. The dialect was
historically accurate to the time period and from what I know the people of the
1800s did speak like that but I don’t want to read a story that has horrible
grammar and spelling like that, I think my IQ dropped a couple points. This
first chapter was pretty good at establishing the plot of the story, and it
also mentioned the slaves so the book was good at describing how times were
back then. If I was Huck, I’d keep all the money, that sounds selfish, but I
would. If I was the age of Huck, I probably couldn’t join a gang that kills
people, that’s a little harsh. Anyways, this book so far is overall an
interesting book.
First off, the background for the story is Huck and Tom finding the treasure, that didn't happen at the beginning of this book it happened in the last book. The dialect isn't that bad and he gave his money away to keep it from his father, who could have taken it without a thought. Also the gang they make is all make believe and they don't actually kill people.
