Irony in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?
Q. I'm not asking anyone to write my essay for me, but I have to discuss satire and irony in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I think I'm set with the satire part, but I can't think of any prominent instances of irony, whether it be dramatic, situational, or verbal. Any ideas?

A. rony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does, and what one means or what is generally understood. In modern usage, it can refer to incongruity between the intended meaning of an action and the actual or perceived meaning of an action. From: Heavy Rain '"Fine Day Today, Mate!" - very Australian.

When did schools start teaching "Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"?
Q. I've been wondering for a while... when did schools in the us begin teaching the books "Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" to children in fifth or sixth grade? I know that a lot of school currently don't, but I know that they once did. WHEN is what I want to know. I live in Arizona and my middle school didn't teach it, but right now I am doing an essay on the n-word and literature and I need to know WHEN they first taught it.

A. Most schools don't. Where do you live? It's really a good idea, though. Twain is one of the most important American writers ever. He did alot of good towards making American literature known in the world. ADD: You should phrase your question better, and would probably want to change it all together to, "When did school's start banning books based on use of offensive language?" Since your language is cloudy, I'll say the same thing: I don't think they do teach them to children in fifth or sixth grade. Go google 'banned books', you'll turn up a web page for the American Librarian Association with tons of information on the practice and reasons for not allowing certain books in schools and libraries.

A. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (often shortened to Huck Finn) is a novel written by Mark Twain and published in 1884. It is commonly regarded one of the Great American Novels, and is one of the first major American novels written in the vernacular, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, best friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels. The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. By satirizing a Southern antebellum society that was already anachronistic at the time of its publication, the book is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim,… [cont.]

Thank you for your help!
Asked by Miss Meagan - Sun Apr 1 17:29:33 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I don't feel that the novel is racist. Twain merely wrote the novel to acknowledge racist problems going on in society and the corruption of the human race. His intentions were positive. But, in order to get his views across, he had to resort to using the n-word and presenting situations that were out of people's comfort zone. For example, by using Jim as a main character and developing a friendship between him and Huck, Twain showed that it was possible for people to make their own decisions. In the novel, when Huck had the opportunity to turn Jim in, but eventually decided against it, the racist opinions that surrounded prior to his actions were meaningless.

Asked by Shannon - Sun Jul 9 20:00:12 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In the first chapter, we observe Huck is ironically trapped in a "civilized" world, when he would prefer to live freely in nature. Irony appears in other areas of the novel as well. For example, Huck explains that the Widow Douglas wouldn't let him smoke, even though, ironically, she secretly uses snuff herself. Irony appears yet again when Miss Watson tries to warn Huck about hell. This warning is juxtaposed by her painful academic lessons. Huck finds spelling very difficult to learn and hates the lessons so much, that he remarks hell sounds more enjoyable. In this ironic reference, Twain reminds the reader of Huck's childhood innocence. Only a child would rationally choose hell over heaven.

A. Huckleberry Finn, a homeless and uneducated boy, leaves his home town in the company of Jim, a runaway slave. The two may be considered the lowest types of humanity by "sivilized" people, but they show the development of America's highest morality. Perhaps because they are uncorrupted by respectability, they are truly admirable, They ride a raft down the river and have a lot of adventures before returning home to find that Jim has been freed. Huck submits to going to school.

Recently, however, I finally got around to really reading Huckleberry Finn's book and Tom seemed like an annoying brat throughout... Which Tom Sawyer would you say is the 'real' one?

A. The real Tom is both, seen from different perspectives. Even in his own book, Tom is a day-dreaming little brat who can't see past his own desires, mostly. He's constantly pretending to be some kind of romantic daredevil hero, Robin Hood, or a Pirate King, or the head of a band of Robbers. Even when he realizes that his actions have harmed or grieved others, he still likes to put a dramatic edge on his redemption. All in all, Tom is a boy of his time: all play, generally thoughtless, more or less innocent, not bearing a heart of gold, but a heart, very definitely. Twain, as narrator, gives Tom the benefit of the doubt, and persuades us to remember what it was to be a child, and full of dreams. Huck, on the other hand, is a realist. He… [cont.]

Why is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn still seen as a piece of classical literature?
Q. I was writing a review, and couldn't seen to figure out the significance of this book in our society. Is it perhaps because it educates us about the themes relevant to the time period the author wrote in?
Asked by Elurp R - Wed Apr 23 22:59:46 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A true classic is a work that withstands the test of time. Huck Finn was relevant to the era in which it was written, about which it was written, and is still relevant today. Young people still undergo change not only physically as they move from youth to adolescent to young adult to adult. Huck is no different. Look at the growth he experiences; consider the falls he takes. This is a novel that remains as real and relevant to our twenty-first society as it did to Twain's nineteenth century audience.

Asked by Anh V - Sun Apr 6 18:49:49 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I always go with Latin words, so the Latin word for land = solum or humus, the Latin word for water = aqua, and the Latin word for river = flumen. I'd trying see if you could come up with something there. I don't know about a first sentence, that one is kind of up to you. It's always the hardest thing for me, I usually have to write something awful just to get started, and then I revise it or re-word it later. In terms of a thesis, I would argue that the land symbolizes things that are static/unchanging and the river symbolizes change. This is quite literal, because obviously water moves and land doesn't (except for earthquakes and like one inch a year per continent or something). Both Huck and Jim go to the river to escape their lives. [cont.]

A. I love this book but your question is a little weird. You mean like religious beliefs or social beliefs or superstitions that he has? Well, he goes against society religiously because when the widow tells him Tom is going to go to hell, Huck says he wouldn't mind going to hell because Tom would be there. He doesn't understand the religion, he argues it in his mind. He's superstitious. (you can find that in the book) He actually does believe people should be equal although in the first part he's confused because society tells him differently. (he saves Jim)

A. Huckleberry Finn is full of satire. There are many examples. Here is one: Religion is one of the key victims of Twain's satire throughout the novel. This satire is no more apparent then when Huck's guardian, the Widow Douglas, preaches to him about Moses. Huck didn't think very much of her lecture; Here she was a-bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone, you see...(3) Twain uses Huck to exhibit his objection to the blind faith that civilized society places towards religion.
