Adventures of Huckleberry Finn blog 1

You don't know about me, without you have read a book by the name of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," but that ain't no matter.
The feeling I get from this sentence is one of confusion. It's hard to read because it is hard to understand with his weird placement of the word without, it sets a tone of confusion that the speaker has with English and learning. It sets a mood of a sorta story telling type, like he is preparing us for the story by saying that we don't know much about him,but that it won't matter because we soon will. It also creates the ideas of wondering what is there to this guy that we don't know, is it important, is it dangerous or thrilling, and these thoughts and ideas that we have make us want to answer the questions for the thoughts, and we won't be able to answer them if we don't read about him.
The author ends chapter one where he does because it is preparing you for Tom Sawyer. Chapter two continues the ideas of wondering what they are up to, and whats going to go on next in Huck's life. They also have the same ideas in the way that they are both describing the situations he is in. The differences in focus between them is that chapter 1 seems to be explaining what it's like for him at home with the aunts, while chapter two is more on what it's like when he is out with Tom.
I expect it to be a great story. I do believe I will like it. I will learn a lot about friendship and people from this. People would think this is a great American story because it is all about individuality and gaining it, and that seems to be the hot thing to be in America.
