Question

Read the excerpt from chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, in which Huck describes his father. 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

The effect of the narrative description of Huck's father is of a man who is not looked after, who is poverty stricken and unkempt and with low self esteem and for example re his hair that was greasy and hung down ie was dirty and not combed shows this. Also, from the sounds of it he was lily white, what we might call someone 'white trash' white these days.
