Why didn't you make a guide to Huckleberry Finn? If you hadn't noticed (but I'm sure you have) certain people need certain help. Using myself as an example, I get the jist of Huckleberry Finn so far (I'm on page 209 in my futuristic edition), but I don't think I quite understand everything you've got going on in the novel. And for people like me who wish to understand your genious reasoning and logic, we need a little help, a bit of guidance; something you failed to include.
As to what I do see and (think) I understand, the novel is about a young boy on the journey of life, encountering situations that change his way of thinking and set up his character in adult life through tackling subjects such as child abuse, racism, morality, and religion. The novel shows us different aspects of human nature and how they influence a person's character. The novel is a great psychological study and insight with splashes of humor. What I don't understand is how you are any different from any other "great american author" that I have read from. You all tackle the same issues, and in my eyes, come to the same conclusion and leave us with a choice: change it or leave it. I love psychology and, if I do say so myself, know quite a bit about it, or at least enough to have already known what you're point was in Huck Finn by the tenth chapter.
So, basically, what is so great about Huckleberry Finn?
'Cuz I don't see nuthin'.
