As noted by another supporter of Twains book, "There are only a few instances which go to show that this is not a boy's book and does not fall under the head of flippant and worthless literature. Of its humor nothing need be said. There is a large class of people who are impervious to a joke, even when told by as consummate a master of the art of narration as Mark Twain. For all these the book will be dreary, flat, stale and unprofitable. But for the great body of readers it will furnish much hearty, wholesome laughter." .

             Mark Twain did not write this novel to portray black people in a negative light. He painstakingly sought out the truths as to how blacks were treated, what their education level was, how they faired as human beings, and how the blacks were an important part of society. Twain could be found on occasion actually putting down white people and elevating the status of blacks. He was quoted as saying, "Nearly all black and brown skins are beautiful, but a beautiful white skin is rare." He also goes on to say "One of my theories is that the hearts of men are about alike, all over the world, whatever their skin- complexions may be." So Mark says in the first quote that blacks are more beautiful than whites. If one has lived in the southern states, where Huck experiences his adventures, one can then appreciate the art with which the dialect is managed by Mark Twain. Here Twain writes about a boy and his astonishing series of adventures with a runaway Negro. Twain has overlaid this novel with an embroidery of jokes, sketches and sarcasm. Hucks story really forms the least part of the novel. .

             Huckleberry Finn is the son of a worthless, drunken, poor white man. He is troubled with many disparities of his conscience because of the part, he soon takes, in helping the Negro Jim to gain his freedom. While Huck helps Jim and himself gain freedom, they both create a powerful friendship between one another, between black and white.
