narrator

Huck Finn is the nararator of the story "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". He's only a child, and because of this, people do not believe in what he says. Huck in a way has matured faster because he had to deal with an alcoholic father and his mother is not mentioned a lot in the book, so we assume she’s either dead or ran away. Huck is hard to take seriously because many of the characters in the book don’t want to believe in what a child tells them. Huck is young and has a more innocent view on life. His views are very easily influenced by the environment around him. Seeing that Huck Finn was a young boy when the book began, aspects of his life were seen through the eyes of an ignorant mind. Immaturity in the context of this book was displayed due to his lack of experience and acceptance. As the book progressed, a little more knowledge to subjects in the book was shown. He as a person started gaining morals, wisdom, and maturity. So his view on life, such as racism, began to morph, some of it due to Jim, a slave. -Christina Olin -Jaysha Patel -Desara Nelson

We noticed you have very good examples of why Huck was not taken seriously or listened to because of his age. There needed to be more concentration on how Huck's immaturity alters the reader's perception of the story, instead of just how Huck interprets events in his life. In what ways does Huck's childishness affect how he explains his life? Do you think we would see it the same way? -Emma Bartges, Sydney Mitchell, Emma Rissman
