Mark Twain wrote The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn. This is a great American novel. Twain writes about the racism of the American south. He writes about freedom and a moral code. Huck and Jim take off together to float south on the Mississippi river on a raft. They catch fish and sleep out under the stars. Despite the fact that Huck is 13 and Jim is in his 30's they become fast friends. Once they got separated but found each other again. They ran into a couple of con men who claimed one was a Duke and one was a King. Huck and Jim found it horribly difficult to shake these two men. They had other problems too but their friendship lasted forever.
