Question

He was most fifty, and he looked it. his hair was long and tangled and greasy, and hung down, and you could see his eyes shining through like he was behind vines. it was all black, no gray; so was his long, mixed-up whiskers. there warn't no color in his face, where his face showed; it was white; not like another man's white, but a white to make a body sick, a white to make a body's flesh crawl—a tree-toad white, a fish-belly white. as for his clothes—just rags, that was all. he had one ankle resting on t'other knee; the boot on that foot was busted, and two of his toes stuck through, and he worked them now and then. his hat was laying on the floor—an old black slouch with the top caved in, like a lid. which best describes the effect of the narration

Answer 1

I don't know exactly what the question is to "which best describes the effect of the narration" But I would assume we have to pick a certain line within the passage, and with that I would have to go with the opening paragraph since it gives such deep and thoughtful descriptions.

Answer 2

Answer:

It helps the reader see Huck’s father through Huck’s eyes.

Explanation:

Huck lived with an aunt and had an evil alcoholic father, a threat to him. He did not see his father with good eyes, but with a hideous and frightening appearance. For this reason, narration is so important in describing Huck's father.

The narration describes Huck's father the way Huck sees him, it helps the reader imagine a frightening and morbid human. This helps the reader better understand Huck's relationship with his father, and makes the reader fear the character as much as Huck.
