Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
by MonaA read-along series that teaches you to read like a writer as you journey through Twain's novel. Section by section, you'll practice literary analysis — unreliable narration, satire and irony, vernacular voice, symbolism, foreshadowing — while wrestling with the book's big questions: conscience versus society's rules, racism and slavery in historical context, Jim's humanity, independent thinking against blind rule-following, freedom, friendship, and moral courage.
