I was born a slave; but I never knew it till six years of happy childhood had passed away. My father was a carpenter, and consid

ered so intelligent and skilful in his trade, that, when buildings out of the common line were to be erected, he was sent for from long distances, to be head workman. On condition of paying his mistress two hundred dollars a year, and supporting himself, he was allowed to work at his trade, and manage his own affairs. His strongest wish was to purchase his children; but, though he several times offered his hard earnings for that purpose, he never succeeded. In complexion my parents were a light shade of brownish yellow, and were termed mulattoes. They lived together in a comfortable home; and, though we were all slaves, I was so fondly shielded that I never dreamed I was a piece of merchandise, trusted to them for safe keeping, and liable to be demanded of them at any moment. I had one brother, William, who was two years younger than myself—a bright, affectionate child.

What is unique about the opening of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? The author, Mark Twain, writes about himself as if he is
Zanzabum
The correct answer is <span>The author, Mark Twain, writes about himself as if he is another character in the story.

In the beginning, it seems as if Huck is talking instead of Mark Twain, because Huck is talking about Twain and the book Tom Sawyer and says that Twain lied and that he will tell a story that is more truthful for understanding characters who are in the book.</span>
