huck 2
You don't know about me, without you have read a book by the name of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," but that ain't no matter. This first sentence is the authors way to tell us where the character is from and how he lives. Accents are noticed right after you meet a person, and you can make many assumptions about somebody by just listening to how they talk. The way that the sentence is structured, you can already assume that the speaker doesn't have much schooling, or is not very proper when vocalizing his/her thoughts. I think that this lets the reader have their own thoughts about the story to make predictions about the rest of the book. If the sentence was in perfect english, i might think that the speaker was very well educated and informed. we often associate the way people speak with social and economic status, and the author might be opening our eyes to a new way of thinking of people.
