=Introduction=

Huckleberry Finn is a novel that was written by Samuel Langhorn Clemens and published in 1884. It was a controversial novel, using its themes of satire to display greater ideas concerning racism and the state of southern America. It has endured being banned in school and shunned by many people and is currently a book that is in many schools list of required readings before graduation. The only thing about Huck Finn is it is written in such a way and language where it may be unwieldy to some. This is where you come in.....
