Huck Finn and the Narrator
Huck Finn, the main character in Mark Twain's story "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", is a fourteen year old, non educated, abused and runaway boy. The book tells his adventures and picks Huck Finn as its narrator. I think he is a good pick as a narrator for this kind of story.
Huck is best described by the terms brave and independent.
He manages to escape hi8s abusive father, and to live all by himself on a raft, being able to let it seem as if he had been murdered so that people would not expect to seeing him alive, he manages to coordinate his traveling so no one would notice him and to provide himself with food. Huck seems very mature in this way. I wouldn't necessarily expect a fourteen year old to being able to to take care of himself that well. Huck is very brave because he went through so many bad things and doesn't complain. He lived with a drunken and abusive father, and he also helps Jim, a runaway slave, to escape and be safe. He is very selfless, he doesn't care about the hard punishment he would get for helping, which would be death...
