I think one of the main reasons Mark Twain used a young boy as the main character and narrator of such a controversial novel filled with adult themes to convey the innocent side of these adult themes. Telling this story in the eyes of a teenage boy, the morality of these situations appears more obvious. Another reason why Mark Twain used a teenage boy as the main character and narrator in the novel is because it allows Twain to imply a comparison between the powerlessness and the vulnerability of a child and the powerlessness and vulnerability of a black man in the pre-Civil War era. He also may be using a child protagonist to dramatize the conflicts between societal and received morality on one hand and a different kind of morality based on experience and intuition.
Answer: 1-8 is correct :)

Instead of playing on the field at recess, she sits in the neutral zone with her brother. As a result, she is teased by the girls in her class. After a while, Myra becomes sick and ends up in the hospital. After that, all the girls in her class suddenly care about her and visit her.
