343 Words2 Pages
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a work of fiction; Twain could have merely written an nonfiction essay on the matter, but he chose to satirize his society in a work of fiction in order to provide his readers with humor that made them think about the way things were. The story is written in chronological order in order to provide a sense of organization amidst the unusual and hilarious adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain begins the novel in Finn’s hometown of St. Petersburg; after escaping from his father Pap, Huck travels along the Mississippi River with the runaway slave Jim and stops in several places along the way. Jim is eventually sold to a family, and before he can be returned to his owner, Huck reunites with his friend Tom Sawyer
