The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was pretty nifty I guess.

         Overall, I can understand why The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn became the classic novel that it is today. Not only is Mark Twain's writing undoubtedly masterful, his novel serves as a commentary on the society of that time, and the racial and political dynamics of that time, which can still be related to today. Mark Twain writes his story, not as an outside narrator, but as someone who actually lived in that time, and uses his personal experiences to further enhance the realism of the story. Huck, as far-fetched as he seems to be, still seems real to the reader, because his history is intertwined with the history of the region, the backwoods, which Mark Twain could easily serve historian as. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn captures the side of an America not commonly seen, and who else to tell the story but someone who lived that story.
