Huckleberry Finn

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has many interesting characters in the story and the way they interact with each other and how they speak to each other makes the story most life like. Their ways of life is more simple in Huck's eyes and point of view; while Tom is more educated and creative about things. Even though they are two different people they are best friends and go on many adventures that Tom creates and Huck lives through. Huck way of speaking is not as intelligent and educated as other boys who go to school, unlike him, and it is clear to see how it effects his language and actions. Also living on his own has made him more literal and in constant survival mode. Huck is someone we might call a "drop-out" or street kid that lives on with whatever he can. He has not had the greatest of parental guidance that is out there. His father is a drunk and beats Huck, and his mom is dead. His father is found "dead" at the river, but Huck at first is glad to hear the news then he figures out that the body found in the river was not his dad.Huck is still scared of his father and wishes that he never sees his father again.
