He's an adventure and A river captain gets plenty of that. It just seems to think Huck interested in women, I still think of him as a young boy.

Mark Twain got Huck’s Name while visiting Heidelberg, Germany. Every German student needs to read his essay The Awful German Lanugauge. In Tramp Abroad Mark Twain does an superb job describing European country, especially the Loin in Lucerne, Switzerland. As a German American, I identify with his German American connection.Omahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837139227942515578noreply@blogger.com
