The Setting of Huckleberry Finn

The setting of Huckleberry Finn is in a quiet town that is not named in the book, but modeled after Hannibal, Missouri. When you look at the author it would make sense to write a story based on memories that the author has so firmly ingrained into his skull. Mark Twain made sure to bring to life the southern setting in Huckleberry Finn using vivid images and lots of detail. if you have read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer then you are very familiar with the area and the town that Huck is living in. I can't wait to see how Mark Twain makes the setting come to life behind the readers eyes in this novel.
