Those of you who are well versed in classic american literature, you will recognize that the title of today's post is the same as the title of the last chapter of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, one of my favorite classic novels. My Honors English class has been studying this story for about a month, and while it does get slow and repetitive in some parts, the story is an extremely well executed look at race and innocence. Twain's trademark humor is unparalleled in any story I've yet read.
Studying the story in a classroom setting with a fantastic teacher and many smart students allowed me to think about the novel in a way I wouldn't have been able to had I read it on my own. Mark Twain taught me many lessons of life in the Southern United States as well as lessons in innocence and dishonesty. If you haven't yet had the pleasure of enjoying this story, you should. Most cities have these buildings filled with books. They're called Libraries. You should check them out sometime, and pick up Huck Finn when you do.
Well, I have nothing more to write.
