The book shows the writer’s view of so-called

The book is worth reading. The book contains criticism. Above all, it’s a story about seeking freedom..
Task3:Write your book review.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a novel written by Mark Twain, one of the greatest writers to use everyday English in American literature. It is commonly regarded as one of the first “Great American Novels”.
The story takes along the Mississippi River. Huckleberry Finn is a poor white boy who runs away to escape his bad-tempered father. While hiding on an island in the middle of the river, he encounters Jim, a runaway black slave. They find a raft and sail down the river together having many adventures. The story tells how Huckleberry Finn’s encounter with Jim makes him accept Jim as a man and as a close friend as well.
The book shows the writer’s view of so-called “civilization”, and reflects the moral growth of Huckleberry Finn. Huckleberry Finn comes to realize that Jim, a slave, is not only a man, but a good man. The book contains much sharp social criticism, especially of slavery and racism.
I think the book is well worth reading. Ultimately, it tells a story showing how everyone seeks freedom, and how every human being is entitled to respect.
