I know I have. Huckleberry Finn, as a character, lacks a will, especially at the very beginning. Huck portrays as a straightforward, yet passive character. His down to Earth attitude aids him in his escapes of the positions he is pun in, but that is all to read about. Huck’s father “[gets] drunk, and [goes] a-blowing around and cussing and whooping and carrying on” (Twain 23). He tries taking the money and takes Huck away from the widow without much of a struggle from Huck himself. Huck’s character fails to provide the fight that the reader likes to keep interest. Despite the troublesome situations, the reader lacks the feeling of excitement due to how predictable, repetitive and pointless the plot seems. Jim and Huck do this today, but they get separated and in trouble. After, Huck cleverly escapes the trouble, he finds Jim and repeats. Huck continues through that cycle throughout the majority of the book. The author fails to communicate his message to the readers because he cannot reach out to his readers as well. Readers struggle to understand the author's purpose, but if the reader has no interest, what would be the point in struggling? The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn lacks engaging and understanding content to provide the reader with the author’s purpose, if there even is a purpose. The entire meaning of the work may be have some positive elements; however, it still lacks many
