Childrens Literatire

Introduction

Every now and then a composition of text is published that can doubt the opinions of a number of people with what they believe is true. Nothing is believed to be more truthful than the belief of morality, being truthful, virtuously pure, and the thought of an idealistic higher determination i.e. religious belief. The novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, doubts this trueness (Calvert 1992, Pp 55-63). However, Twain reasons and argues about the spiritual pretense that our culture confronts. With the masterful use of sarcasm and sketch, the writer expresses his disgust to the corruptible church goers and spiritual practices, often disguised in a veil of wittiness (Calvert 1992, Pp 55-63).

The Huckleberry Finn Adventures is frequently conceived as Twain's biggest masterwork. It combines his wittiness and astonishingly mature composition; Twain formulated a book that straightaway lashed out on many of the customs that the South cherished at the time of its issuing. Huckleberry Finn is the primary role, and by his eyes, the reader witnesses and evaluates the South, its mistakes, and its redemptive characters (Calvert 1992, Pp 55-63).

Discussion and Analysis

Main Themes in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Twain, in the composition, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, raises the issue of spiritual pretense in our society. Sarcastically, the writer doubts the spiritual exercises, customs, and how church goers bring the church doctrine into their dwellings (Fishkin 1993, Pp 23-29). Religion should be an essential function in a person's existence, but when discovering the precise one, one must assess the constructive and the unconstructive commandments and come to a conclusion established on them (Fishkin 1993, Pp 23-29).

Dispute among culture and "ordinary life"

The main idea of the composition is the dispute among culture and "ordinary life." Huck interprets ordinary life by his liberty of character, uncultured way of life, and wishes to run away from society (Marten 1998, Pp 47-53). He was brought up with no regulations or restraint and has a solid opposition to everything that might "refine" him. This dispute is presented in the first section with the feats of the Widow Douglas, as her efforts to compel Huck to put on new garments, quit smoking, and study the Holy Book. In the book, Twain appears to propose that the uncultured way of living is more pleasing and ethically better. Depicting on the themes of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Twain proposes that society distorts, rather than amends, mankind (Marten 1998, Pp 47-53).

Nobility

The idea of nobility diffuses the book after first being presented in the second section, where Tom Sawyer conveys his opinion that there is a big amount of nobility related to robbing (Marten 1998, Pp 47-53). Looting appears during the book, especially when Huck and Jim come across thieves on the ruined boat and are impelled to endure the King and Dauphin, who "loot" everybody they encounter. Tom's band of burglars is matched later in the book when Tom and Huck develop into real burglars, but noble ones, by the conclusion of the book (Fishkin 1993, Pp 23-29). They decide to ...
