Having read Tom Sawyer, its very similar to Huckleberry Finn. However, TAOHF is a bit more serious, a bit more of an acutal story without miscellaneous little stories. Tom Sawyer actually met the part of "Adventures", but it seems so far like for Huck Finn it will be more towards "Adventure." There are some aspects that are amplified into Huck Finn. The main two are:
- The time era
- Superstitions
As a matter of fact, Tom Sawyer focused more on the timelessness of childhood, while Huck Finn does the exact opposite and focuses on the time era. And the superstitions, especially ones considering what brings bad luck and good luck, controls a lot of the actions in the story.
As for the plot itself, it's much more interesting than Tom Sawyer is - I'm still reading Tom Sawyer. It has much more realistic and interesting events, and it gives good insight into being grown into a bad family.
There are a lot of events and vocabulary in the story about travelling in the river that kind of confuse me. But eventually, in about two paragraphs or so, I understand it based on the context. Next week I might not post as much about it being compared and contrasted to Tom Sawyer, but it was a good place to start.
