Content writer

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a picaresque novel by American author Mark Twain that was first published in the United Kingdom in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885. It is commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written throughout in vernacular English, characterized by local color regionalism. Being the direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, it is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, the narrator of two other later Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective) and a friend of Tom Sawyer.

The book is noted for "changing the course of children's literature" in the United States for the "deeply felt portrayal of boyhood".[2] It is also known for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Set in a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist over 20 years before the work was published, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing satire on entrenched attitudes, particularly racism.

We take for granted, for instance, that when we flip a switch, the lights will come on or that when we want a hot bath, water will gush from the tap. And since we’ve become so accustomed to these conveniences within the past couple of centuries, we often forget there’s a whole workforce of people whose job it is to keep them available to us—the many public works departments spread throughout each state. So, we invite you to stop and think for a moment about these 10 areas of public works that make our modern world the place it is.
