Need help with Huck Finn Essay!?
GET RID OF "In my opinion." We know it's your opinion; your name is on the paper... "Huckleberry Finn, a teenage boy who lives in his own world surrounded by youth's exploits and folderol, exhibits myriad contrasting characteristics. Huck longs for independence, freedom from the social constraints rampant in the antebellum South. Twain's clic story includes shocking racism and ignorant superstition driven by the limited scope of a naive boy and his stalwart ally, an escaped slave named Jim. Huck's trials and travels reveal his honesty, pragmatism, and bravery. As the novel progresses, Huck grows from a boisterous and self-centered boy into a thoughtful man with a new and thoughtful outlook on the world." ALSO, don't start with the text. Begin with a broad comment on society in general, like a comment about youth, the South, and/or learning from one's experiences. Never use personal pronouns (like "I, me, we, our")
