The Themes of Friendship and Child as Visionary in Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".
This paper will discuss Twain's novel in terms of the themes of the child as visionary and friendship. In this context, the controversy over the issue of racism in the novel is of relevance given the fact that the key friendship in the work - which I found particularly moving and idyllic as a child - was that between Tom and the black runaway slave, Jim. It will be argued that - although some of the language reflects racial attitudes of 19th century America that are no longer acceptable today - nonetheless "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a masterpiece of the imagination which all children should read. 5 pgs. 6 f/c. 1b.
