#Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

[incorrectsmashbrosquotes]

Having finally watched Treasure Planet all the way through for the first time, I vote that we take more classic stories and just fucken set them in space with starships that are actual ships but space cause that aesthetic is killer.

 - King Arthur the Space Opera where all the Knights of the Round Table are various aliens and have non-copyrighted Lightsabers.

 - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea but Captain Nemo captains a hyper-advanced stealth ship, endlessly exploring the stars.

 - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn but he and Jim travel the galaxy in a rickety old jury-rigged escape pod.

 - Dracula in Space

Thoughts? Any ideas of your own?

I AM GETTING EITHER A SIGN FROM GOD OR THIS IS VERY MUCH CREEPY.

backstory, my dad had this book, Adventures of Huck Finn, and I always read it as a kid. Like, it was printed in 1987 ffs. It's missing the spine because me and my dad, as kids respectivly, read it sm

ANYWAY I'M LIKE A GOOD HOUR INTO THE MOVIE, and btw it's amazing. Lots of familiar faces, like Robbie Coltrane. So then the Wilks fam part plays, they get to the house, yadda yadda. who, i ask, WHO? fucking appears, out of all actors.

Renee O'Connor. Fucking Renee O'Connor.

this is some sort of prank holy fuck man.

“Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience”

Mark Twain

#mark twain #stupid is as stupid does #you can't fix stupid #great quote #adventures of huckleberry finn #tom sawyer

[tomsawyerberry]

Huckleberry deserves to grow older and I think he deserves to grow into himself and be rather handsome in that unconventional and rugged way and I think he deserves to have friends and relationships outside of Tom (the creators of Tom Sawyer No Bouken creating the lovely Lisette and having her take to someone like Huckleberry were SO right of them to do) and he deserves to have a life and make something of himself and he deserves Tom's genuine recognition and maybe Tom should experience feeling a bit put out by Huck no longer just needing or having him.

My point is Huck deserves a lot of good things and while I'm not sure how exactly Mark Twain wanted it for him I know what I want for him and that's that.

so I finally read huck finn and I know it's often a taught text in American schools and I'm interested to know what they teach you about it/what you thought when you were reading it because even thought bc even though it's technically an anti slavery text as a modern reader who has read and studied a lot of other anti slavery texts and slave narratives I have mixed feelings about it and would love to hear your thoughts

even if you weren't taught it feel free to comment/rb!!

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Huckleberry Finn, the boy who lived the American dream from rags to sivilised riches to willing rags again. He cannot stand your Sunday School mentality at all, and he'd rather go to white supremacist hell than not help his friend slave Jim escape. Tom Sawyer gives you a kind of foil to Huck with his extravagant ideas which come from action books. But Huck, practical as he is, keeps you riveted to all that happens down the river Mississippi, every single little detail. And you've got to love it.

huckleberry finn, mark twain

7/10

set in the US in the early 1800's, about a white boy who runs away with a black man who's a slave and as they live on a raft together and have crazy adventures they must face the racism and hypocrisy and violence and prejudice of society.

really really important book for its time like its huck finn everyone knows huck finn do i even need to say anything about it no probably not. has super important themes of racism and civilization and the hypocrisy of society and what it means to be civilized and morality and what it means to be moral etc. was definitely really impactful and significant for its time and its a book that should continue to be read and studied for a long time to come. but also reading it now in like today times isn't really gonna reveal anything new to society. which isn't the point of reading it but like there's stuff out there that's more up to date maybe yknow. still an impactful look into the past and how much things have changed/stayed the same since the 19th century and also a way to discuss racial violence and slavery in a narrative form.

while it did have a lot of good interesting parts it just got really boring sometimes tbh. there's a lot of satire in it and mark twain makes some parts really repetitive and kinda boring to really drive home a point which i understand why he does that but also like. sometimes it was too much. it kinda was just a boring book sometimes and maybe also i'm not the biggest fan of twain's writing style

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Mark Twain / illustrated by Barry Moser

University of California Press / Pennyroyal Press 1985

I really like Barry Moser’s work, but I gather that it can be a bit of an acquired taste. Often dark, menacing, and occasionally even disturbing, Moser’s detailed wood engravings are wondrous things to behold. This California edition of Huck Finn, published to celebrate the book’s centennial, is quite well done. Two-color printing, full green cloth binding, large spacious type, and 49 original wood engravings—it’s a worthy production to celebrate 100 years of Huck Finn. Although I disagree with the decision to print the illustrations in brown—it makes them look a little washed out.

Mmmmm I’m not one hundred percent sure but the further I get in this book the more I’m convinced that Pete’s dragon is very very loosely inspired by huck finn

#like LOOSELY but there are enough elements that I recognize that it’s like #very clear that it is the adventure blueprint they were referring to when they wrote the film #adventures of huckleberry finn #currently reading

[tomsawyerberry]

If Huckleberry did not have the town of St. Petersburg, even with its faulty, fallible people, if he didn't know Jim, if he didn't know the Widow Douglas, and especially if Huckleberry didn't know and have Tom—he would have probably gone down the same path as 'The Kid' from Blood Meridian. Their starts in life are very similar: losing a mother either before he knew her or when he was too young to really know her, to be hardly raised by a drunken, cruel father, left uneducated and practically buckwild and neglected.

"See the child. He is pale and thin, he wears a thin and ragged linen shirt. He stokes the scullery fire. Outside lie dark turned fields with rags of snow and darker woods beyond that harbor yet a few last wolves. His folk are known for hewers of wood and drawers of water but in truth his father has been a schoolmaster. He lies in drink, he quotes from poets whose names are now lost. The boy crouches by the fire and watches him.

Night of your birth. Thirty-three. The Leonids they were called. God how the stars did fall. I looked for blackness, holes in the heavens. The Dipper stove.

The mother dead these fourteen years did incubate in her own bosom the creature who would carry her off. The father never speaks her name, the child does not know it. He has a sister in this world that he will not see again. He watches, pale and unwashed. He can neither read nor write and in him broods already a taste for mindless violence."

—Chapter 1, Blood Meridian (or the Evening Redness in the West) by Cormac McCarthy.

Actually, who is to say Huck doesn't already have 'The Kid' in him, a part and side of him, "All history present in that visage, the child the father of the man."
