Had 10 weeks to read this book, yet here i am—watching this video one night before my English class's book talk ((((-: edit: guys this was 4 years ago. my class was only allowed to read the book during free time in our class, so all we got was an estimated 5/10 minutes each day... it is not that serious. i was fifteen and now i’m twenty. this was ages ago! no need to be harsh. we all consume literature at different rates and that’s okay. hope everyone enjoyed the book!

Whoever drew the illustrations for this video deserves a medal. I just love the goofy looks all the characters have in each picture. Anyway, excellent job on the video!!!

Exam tomorrow...let's hope spark notes came in clutch.

Tom is supposed to represent Romanticism, as viewed from the point of view of Mark Twain, who lived in an age of realism. Huck represents the realist. Prior to the Civil War, when times were pretty dull, people wanted to read the wild adventure stories that Tom liked; after living through the real thing, people found the adventure stories pretty silly.

As a person who has read the book; this is INCREDIBLY accurate. Not a singular detail missed! Think one of my favorite missed parts of the story was where Aunt Polly was counting screws and Huck kept taking and replacing spoons.

Tom pissed me off he forces everyone to go on a painful adventure for no freakinh reason.

This book is very interesting, but very hard to follow. I just can't seem to wrap my mind around the terrible grammar to understand what's going on. Thanks for this video, it definitely made me realize a lot of what was going on that I didn't understand!

Reading this is part of my summer assignment for an AP class. Just checking up, to see if I remember all the main points.

My least favorite part of the book is when Tom didn't tell Jim and Huck the truth and made them go through more trouble because he wanted "adventure", which was pretty selfish. Besides that, I give the book a 6 or 7 out of 10.

Time to take my english test

For the people not reading it, YOU SHOULD. It's one of my favorites, and just listening to the sparknotes version does it a huge disservice. Read it for yourself, you wont regret it.

Huck is a boy about 13 or 14 years old, he is the son of the town drunk, he always wears ragged cast-off clothes, Huck never goes to school and does what he wants. He is good at outdoor things and homeless as well.

When laziness reaches a new low

It was one of my absolute favourites as a kid. Read it every summer :) It was my dream to float down on the river Mississippi following huck and jim - too bad that the conditions have changed not for their benefits over the decades.

I haven't read any of the book. Thank god for this video I have a test tomorrow.

Nice summary, helps make the major plot outline more clear, but the book is definitely worth reading, all of the meat is what makes mark twain such a famous author
