Huckleberry Finn (a classic written by Mark Twain) is succesful for now obvious reasons. The fact that the coloquial language-which for me was hard to understand- definitely added to the novel to give readers a feeling of Huck's education and environment where he grew up. Twain expresses many messages through plots and themes relating to them-which for me were enjoyable.
My favorite techique used by Mark Twain was expressing his feelings through right and wrong. Throughout the novel, Huck (who I could not help fall in love with) had the long journey, saving Jim from slavery, but he also had a conscious that struck him with the idea that stealing Ms. Watson's slave was not the most moral choice. Huck is all around a respectable character. His kind soul, the troubles he goes through, and his thoughts throughout make me want to be his best friend.
Overall I would have enjoyed the book more if I could understand it. One way I could make this possible to see the beauty in Twain's writing is to reread the novel and pay more attention to what Huck and the other characters are actually saying.
