Set in the antebellum south, Huckleberry Finn is a very realistic critique of the minds of people growing up in racist societies. Mark Twain expertly portrays the reality of living in this sort of experience. Although, we most likely will never know if his critique was done on purpose or if he just portrayed Huck's world so vividly he did it by accident, it does an incredible job at helping us understand the life of children who are unfortunately a product of their environment.

Good riddance. A Few funny lines, reflective moments, and good discussions were not worth the rest of the book being nonsensical, boring, and Ridiculously Racist.
