A Tale Of Two Cities: Faults Of The Social Structure

... he runs over a child. All he does is toss a few gold coins out to the father and drives away. This is showing that all the aristocracy cares about is money.

Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn

... Though initially condemned as inappropriate material for young readers, it soon became prized for its recreation of the Antebellum South, its insights into slavery, and its depiction of adolescent life.

... noise, it echoed from underneath the bridge. I had heard some of the other boats horns, and was aware of them, but my unconscious mind had set my listening level to a monotone pitch.

Huck Finn

... made sense if it had been in the north or even the Far West. The story was set, in my opinion, in the perfect place and time. It really helped the story come together. In some cases the setting could have been brought out a little more to help out with the descriptions and plots of the story, but in the long run, the setting was pretty much described enough. The characters in were very believable. The way they acted and the way they thought made them seem almost real. To me, Huck stands out the most. He acts like a young boy who is tryin ...
