Huck Finn begins with Huckleberry living with the Widow Douglas and her sister. One night Huck sees his pap's footprints in the snow which convinces him to give his money to the judge. His father shows up and kidnaps Huck. Huck is able to fake his death and then escapes. Huck ends up on Jackson Island where he meets the runaway slave Jim.
Huck Finn contrasts from Of Mice & Men in one major way. Unlike Of Mice & Men, Mark Twain's novel goes into more details of events and conversations. Of Mice & Men is an easy read in comparison to Huck Finn which makes that story more enjoyable. One good concept to Huck Finn is that some of the satire in the novel is comical. One case of this really sticks in my head, this is when Huck is remarking on how 7*6=35 when that really equals 42. Even though there are a few funny parts, most of the parts arent.All in all, I find this story dry and boring.
