huck 7

so far, i have enjoyed the simplicity of the story and its plot. i really like how the author makes a simple country boys life complex and interesting enough to keep me reading. the events so far in the story such as evading Jim in the woods and forming the band of robbers have been everyday events in the lives of many young boys throughout history. if anything i have heard this story before, but in different context, but even so, the structure of the story makes new and interesting. another aspect of the story that i like is the way that the narrator describes his experiances and the people in them. when desctibing hucks father, who the group of boys havent seen since he was drunk in a pig sty, the huck and tom give him characteristics that are relatable and common. this allows me to connect with both of them and understand the character in my own context. so far this story has showed me the simple, yet appealing life of a country bumkin, and has definitely made me want to read more.
