After reading only a few chapters of this book, I have become aware of the change in linguistics in America from the time that Twain wrote the book to modern times. I can connect this use of written slang with Malcolm X during his time in New York as a drug dealer. I am fascinated with the intricacies of the language because while the slang is very different and some call it "improper," the language is very consistent.
I liked The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the same language was used, so i think that I will enjoy the simple yet crazy life of Huck fin.
