Line 7: \| author = Mark Twain \| central theme = \| elevator pitch = Two boys, one an escaped slave, float down the Mississippi on a raft, having adventures. ~~\| elevator pitch =~~ \| genre = Picaresque \| publication date = December 10, 1884 Line 14: \| wiki name = }} {{quote\|''''"Notice.'' Persons trying to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot."''\|'''[[Mark Twain]]'''}} This novel is an [[Even Better Sequel]] to [[Mark Twain]]'s ''[[The Adventures of Tom Sawyer]]''. Line 23: The book is in public domain, and the full text is available for free at [http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/76 Project Gutenberg]. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Abusive Parents]]: Old Finn. Line 80: Ben Rogers: Ransomed? What's that? Tom: I don't know. But that's what they do. }} * [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]]: The book is scathingly anti-slavery, but is often banned from schools for supposed racial ~~insensitivity—it~~insensitivity--it has the n-word in it. In response to [[New South]] Books' plans to release an edition that replaces Twain's many uses of Nigger with the word "slave", there are plans to replace the word N-Word [http://io9.com/#!5762499/a-campaign-to-replace-the-n+word-in-huckleberry-finn-with-the-word-robot with the word Robot] Do see above for [[Fair for Its Day]], though. * [[Punny Name]]: A "granger" is a cattle rancher; cattle ranchers and sheepherders were old rivals in the 1800s, thus the Grangerfords and Shepardsons don't get along. * [[Rule of Cool]]: Parodied to pieces by Tom's plan to free Jim, which could be done simply and quickly, but Tom insists on engineering around the [[Rule of Cool]]. {{spoiler\|It goes badly.}} * [[The Runaway]]: Huck's escape from his [[Abusive Parents\|alcoholic father]] sets up the rest of the plot. * [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Huck helps the fugitive slave Jim escape from being sold back into slavery even though he is told (and he believes!) he would go to hell for such actions. * [[Shout-Out]]: Tom models his adventures on the stories he's read. The careful reader can identify the specific stories even when he doesn't mention the ~~titles—for~~titles--for example, "Why, look at [[The Count of Monte Cristo (novel)\|one of them prisoners in the bottom dungeon of the Castle Deef, in the harbor of Marseilles, that dug himself out that way]]." * [[Snake Oil Salesman]]: The Duke and the Dauphin are this and just about every other kind of [[Con Man]], except maybe the Competent sort. * [[Spotting the Thread]]: Line 104: {{reflist}} {{Top 100 Banned Books 1990s}} {{Top 100 Banned Books 2000s}} {{Top 100 Banned Books 2010s}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Literature of the 19th century]] [[Category:School Study Media]] [[Category:~~Adventures~~Pages ofwith ~~Huckleberry~~working ~~Finn~~Wikipedia tabs]] [[Category:~~Literature~~The Full Name Adventures]] [[Category:American Media]]
