	Huck Finn Teachers Guide: Essay: "Teaching Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"

		One graphic way to demonstrate this fact to your students is to share with them the letter Twain wrote to the Dean of the Yale Law School in 1885, in which he explained why he wanted to pay the expenses of Warner McGuinn, one of the first fl law students at Yale.
		Huckleberry Finn allowed a different kind of writing to happen: a clean, crisp, no-nonsense, earthy vernacular kind of writing that jumped off the printed page with unprecedented immediacy and energy; it was a book that talked.

		Only a few weeks before, The Washington Post reported that Huckleberry Finn was the center of a controversy at the National Cathedral School, an exclusive private school in Washington, D.C. In that case, the book was moved from the required tenth-grade curriculum to part of an elective twelfth-grade curriculum.
		When the book at issue is a complex novel like Huckleberry Finn, the banning is an admission that the school cannot figure out how to teach it.
		Surely no one involved in the recent incidents believed that reading Huckleberry Finn was inevitably harmful to children, or that the use of racial epithets would automatically render any book unsuitable for children.

	Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain: A searchable online version at The Literature Network
		Mark Twain's classic novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, tells the story of a teenaged misfit who finds himself floating on a raft down the Mississippi River with an escaping slave, Jim.
		Though some of the situations in Huckleberry Finn are funny in themselves (the cockeyed Shakespeare production in Chapter 21 leaps instantly to mind), this book's humor is found mostly in Huck's unique worldview and his way of expressing himself.
		I believe this book deals with a series of a low grade of mortality; it is couched in the language of rough dialect, and all through its pages there is a systemic use of bad grammer and an employement of rough, coarse, inelegant expression.

	Personal Best: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
		Yet for all of that -- and oddly, maybe because of all of that -- "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is the biggest-hearted book I know.
		Its generosity is inexhaustible: no matter when I pick it up, it greets me like an old friend who doesn't give a damn that I owe him money and haven't written for five years.
		Perhaps the secret and joyous message of "Huckleberry Finn," the thing that drew me to it as a kid and keeps me coming back to it, is that this 13-year-old boy, all alone except for Jim (who is fated to occupy a different world) is happy and will always be happy.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Major Themes
		Twain tended to attack organized religion at every opportunity, and the sarcastic character of Huck Finn is perfectly situated to allow him to do so.
		The attack on religion can already be seen in the first chapter, when Huck indicates that hell sounds like a lot more fun than heaven.
		Twain himself was vehemently anti-slavery; Huckleberry Finn can in many ways be seen as an allegory for why slavery is wrong.
