Huckleberry Finn: The experiences of an endangered child
Mark Twain created a character that expresses freedom within American society. Huckleberry Finn lives on the margins of society because he is the son of a town drunk. He sleeps where he pleases and eats where he pleases. No one requires him to attend school or church, bath or dress respectably. Years of having to fend for himself have invested Huck with solid common sense.
Huckleberry Finn's background is as important as his personality in this novel. He is only thirteen years old when he sets out on his own.
