Conclusion

The research showed that the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn stands out as one of Mark Twain's best works, and it is not surprising that so much has been written about the book over the years. In many ways, Twain is like Benjamin Franklin among major American historical figures. Both of these individuals stand out as being geniuses of their respective eras, for example, and both of them contributed much to what comprises the American consciousness today. Further, both of them were known for their wry wit and intuitive ability to "read" other people to their advantage. These attributes are also highly apparent in Huckleberry Finn, which has remained popular reading and a source of study by countless Americans over the years.
In the final analysis, American students will likely be reading and writing about Huckleberry Finn as long as the United States endures, because it represents an important commentary on the nation's colorful but sometimes-violent and cruel history.
