The Great American Novel:
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Many readers consider Mark Twain's novel The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn to be the "great American novel." Huck is
the quintessential American innocent, who unerringly works
out the moral way to behave in the corrupted society of
pre-Civil War America. Using the novel as a prompt, you will
explore issues such as racism, slavery, freedom, prejudice,
and the hypocrisy of a "civilized society."
