This
paper relates that "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain both focus on
values, the difference between right and wrong,
friendship and
family. The author points out that Harper Lee and Mark Twain both face the issue of
racism and prejudice in a straightforward manner through the eyes of
children, which allows them to communicate their messages effectively with humor. The paper emphasizes that friendship is stressed in both novels: In "To Kill a Mockingbird", the
importance of friendship and acceptance is underscored through the relationships of children and, in "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", the importance of friendship is highlighted through Huck's relationship with Jim.
