This paper examines how Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a novel about a young boy's
coming of age in
Missouri of the mid-1800s and how it is the story of Huck's struggle to win freedom for himself and Jim, a Negro slave. It looks at how it is considered one of the greatest novels because the novel conceals Twain's opinions within what is seemingly a child's book. Although Mark Twain's novel "Huckleberry Finn" was disliked for being "unsuitable" for young readers, it is also appreciated for its depiction of the antebellum south, its view point of both
slavery and study of a teenager
coming of age.
