Question

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain uses Huck’s age as a tool to help him illustrate the main themes of the work. In at least 75 words, explain what role Huck’s youth plays in the statement above. What does this statement help you understand about Huck’s sense of his own morality?

Answer 1

The novel is narrated by the youth himself, showing his feeling and ideas, even though ridiculously exaggerated and making it that more interesting for the readers. As an orphan and uneducated boy, Huck distrusts all the society puts out, several times choosing 'to go to hell' rather then to go obey the rules and do what he has been taught. 
    His wild ways of describing things creates a humorous atmosphere in which the dangerous world of this novel is collectively placed before us.
