Don't read, take our narrative. We know how busy you are. You want to graduate, right? How will you ever take care of your loved ones if your busy learning the truth! Then you can tell everyone how right you are while you're busy grabbing at random smutted straw, only to hope for survival.
Is that what he was saying?
Ya God bless
Whoever drew the illustrations for this video deserves a medal. I just love the goofy looks all the characters have in each picture. Anyway, excellent job on the video!!!
Exusemeprincess17 And everything was exactly how I imagined it!! Just proves to me what a powerful writer Mark Twain was for creating such a similar vision for all his readers!
Damnn shitttt 8 Yr ago!!!! How are you brother?
Exam tomorrow...let's hope spark notes came in clutch.
TypicalRocky this is me too bruh 😂 I got an exam tomorrow too
TypicalRocky so how did you do????
how that exam go???
Ap English essay on this book for first day of school
Same here
Had 10 weeks to read this book, yet here i am-watching this video one night before my English class's book talk ((((-:
edit: guys this was 4 years ago. my class was only allowed to read the book during free time in our class, so all we got was an estimated 5/10 minutes each day... it is not that serious. i was fifteen and now i’m twenty. this was ages ago! no need to be harsh. we all consume literature at different rates and that’s okay. hope everyone enjoyed the book!
Eunice Escobar ok SAME
i had 1 week 0_o
And they say people are different...
Eunice Escobar I’ve never related to a comment more.
10weeks!? We have at most 2 weeks to read this and have to write a critical analysis for it for final exam 😂
this is like a sparknote of the sparknotes lol
philly doe haha, so true
Spark-ception
Tom pissed me off he forces everyone to go on a painful adventure for no freakinh reason.
I really love mark twain and have read both books multiple times and this is so true for both of his novels. Tom is so full of himself and immature. I mean HE. IS. THE. WORST. He's the 1800s version of Caillou! Huck Finn is so much more multifaceted. He actually has a personality and reasonable motivations and is such an easier character to relate to. Plus he actually seems to care for the people around him. :/
There's always that one friend...

Tom was a much better kid in his own book. (He helps a condemned man and he helps Becky when they get lost in the cave.
Tom is supposed to represent Romanticism, as viewed from the point of view of Mark Twain, who lived in an age of realism. Huck represents the realist. Prior to the Civil War, when times were pretty dull, people wanted to read the wild adventure stories that Tom liked; after living through the real thing, people found the adventure stories pretty silly.
I'm definitely telling this to my literature teacher, she asked us to read the book and hear our thoughts on it and your comment gave me a new perspective!!
there are so many interpretations on the book and examples
we are no were
no
AuTor's we also me am a woman we
have only read very much of world
... literaTur
Time to take my english test
Same
Same 😊
Literally me
Did u ever do good I’m taking mine tmr g
wow a royal is here huh (black clover reference)
I have ap English. Never read a single book so far this school year and I have an 89%. God bless spark notes
Zack that’s a whole mood. I read a different book every week (when I don’t have too much APLang hw) but I still haven’t read any of the required reads
how did u do
Reading this is part of my summer assignment for an AP class. Just checking up, to see if I remember all the main points.
Lol same here
+Nhan Pham lol
Bruh perfect for when u read it like years before

This book is very interesting, but very hard to follow. I just can't seem to wrap my mind around the terrible grammar to understand what's going on. Thanks for this video, it definitely made me realize a lot of what was going on that I didn't understand!
I found the best way to understand the grammar, more specifically when Jim is talking, is to say it aloud. When you see it you don't really understand but if you say what you see it sounds right and you're better able to comprehend it. Worked for me anyway
Matt Nemeth another way, is to use a website such as audible or Loudlit and listen to the audiobook
JakandCrash you just pinned down all my reading issues with that book!
You can listen to an audio book because the old language and when jim talks it's hard to read
Omg sane I could barely follow it. After finishing the book, this helped me sum it up
I’m high asf tryna write this paper wish me luck
I used to get stoned in school; read this whole thing and failed english by only reading books, and not writing the reports.
Good luck! And stay safe:)
When laziness reaches a new low
Ikr

In high school I had to do a report on it, didn't read the book. The night before school I was flipping through my TV and on AMC was a silent film version of the novel. "Sometimes laziness uh uh finds a way." - Jeff Goldblum
Seriously, I would prefer to watch anime all day instead of do school work so this helps a lot xD
Lol
It was one of my absolute favourites as a kid.
Read it every summer :)
It was my dream to float down on the river Mississippi following huck and jim - too bad that the conditions have changed not for their benefits over the decades.
And your dream now?
My least favorite part of the book is when Tom didn't tell Jim and Huck the truth and made them go through more trouble because he wanted "adventure", which was pretty selfish. Besides that, I give the book a 6 or 7 out of 10.
I guess his punishment was when he got shoot
Yeah welp he got shot for it
What book would you give a 10 out of 10?
You're giving Tom's character a 6 or 7 out of 10. What about the book as a whole?
I thought his name was N IGGER Jim
I haven't read any of the book. Thank god for this video I have a test tomorrow.
Matt, you dodged a big, smelly bullet.
Kidz hut Happy birthday Dr vipul
Matt I hope you failed
did you pass?
@@itsblitzkrieg8911 stop giving negetive vibes
For the people not reading it, YOU SHOULD. It's one of my favorites, and just listening to the sparknotes version does it a huge disservice. Read it for yourself, you wont regret it.
Huck is a boy about 13 or 14 years old, he is the son of the town drunk, he always wears ragged cast-off clothes, Huck never goes to school and does what he wants. He is good at outdoor things and homeless as well.
As a person who has read the book; this is INCREDIBLY accurate. Not a singular detail missed!
Think one of my favorite missed parts of the story was where Aunt Polly was counting screws and Huck kept taking and replacing spoons.
Nice summary, helps make the major plot outline more clear, but the book is definitely worth reading, all of the meat is what makes mark twain such a famous author
It's a really good book
Reading all these comments realizing all u guys are in my exact same position lol
Same
wish me luck
Probably my favorite book from early teenage years and I'm from Eastern Europe. It was like a fantasy novel for me, so many alien customs and laws.
Mark Twain wrote the true-history of America, even truer than the history books.
I play this with headphones on during the test lol I just say I'm listening to Chief Keef
Lol you're allowed to wear headphones during a test? :O
Robin Hood Na you wear a hoodie or slip it in your sleeve
Gucci Clone cheater!!!! SAVAGE
Two words: Bluetooth earbuds
Litt
I'd watch an animated Huck movie with this art style tbh
Am I the only one who isn't here because of a test?
No, you're not. ;)
+mothman84 same here
im here because of summer reading assignments and I have school in two weeks lmao
+Lolly sameee
Same
thanks… time to take an English test!
Amen!
Im doing a book report
I had to read Tom Sawyer so I was like, well why not listen to this. I feel like a loser.
GOD BLESS WHOEVER CREATED SPARKNOTES
Looks like I'm not the only one who needs help with a test 😉
Chromosocks no
My teacher gave me like 3 weeks to read this AND Lord Of The Flies. I can't handle this. I have to watch as many summaries as possible to try to understand.
.__. Get your bs together. In 5th grade I had to read this over winter break and answer the questions in the Reader's Guide.
Professor Bextem well you didn't have 2-4 other books for other classes and actual class work. So don't call High School Honors English "bs"
Bethany Wade omg lord of the flies was so damn boring ive never read a book more boring
literally same worst book ever
Selena Lopez Ya, but the plot seemed interesting overall.
Well school starts tomorrow and here I am cramming summer reading
Kyle McCarron lol that’s exactly what I’m doing
yep same
So 2 years have passed how did you end up
Kyle McCarron respond to us please. How did it go?
I loved this book as a kid and still do. One of the best books written by Twain and one of my favorites!
I just finished this book last night after reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I thought The Adv of Tom Sawyer was great, but then I read Huck Finn and it was just perfect. Props to Samuel Clemens.
Huckleberry berry finn is a realistic slice of life
I would like to take a moment to thank SparkNotes. I owe every A I've ever gotten in English to you.
Jim is a wonderful friend to Huck. He struck me as a very good man.
Never read the book, watched this. 92 on the test.
I wouldnt have gotten my English Degree without Sparknotes!!
I started to read this book a week ago. Not for school, but because I find this part of the American culture very exotic and interesting for me as a European. Now I am reading the book in English.
As someone who grew up in the Northeast US, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and later Huck Finn (my dad didn’t let me read Huck until I was 11 because of the language; the only book he wouldn’t let me read) absolutely enthralled me as a child. We have our hicks (I am one) and hillbillies up here, too, but it’s different culturally because of the agriculture/industrial dichotomy of the south and north respectively. Reading those books were like a passport to a different world, even more so than Narnia, Middle Earth or Hogwarts, because Twain’s writings were so viscerally real. If you got time for it, Tom Sawyer is more of a fun tale with less high stakes
@@mikeydubbs8565 thank you for the suggestion! What are hicks and how are hicks different from hillbillies?
@@pheeku6996 Hicks are different from Hillbillies mainly for two reasons: Hillbilly is a legitimate ethnic group. Also, Hillbillies are strictly from Appalachia. A hick is an outdoorsy person from more populated areas like New England (Hi!) or the Midwest. It is used as a derogatory term depending on the context, but I like to reclaim the term. Tl;dr Hicks are basically rednecks that aren’t from the South
@@pheeku6996 Hicks like to do things like fish, hunt, go (real) camping, some people like my uncle are survivalists, to the extent that you could drop them off anywhere in the wilderness and find their way back to civilization or safety while staying alive using their surroundings, knowledge and instinct. My uncle went through a crazy class where to pass it, they did just that
@@mikeydubbs8565 thank you for the information! There's so much to learn about the USA
I watched the anime back in the 80's... recommend
Although I read this book in Russian three years ago, and I really love it, this video helps brainstorm the main events that took place in it in order to prepare for a home assignment. Thanks!
Mark Twain: I’m gonna say the N word
I came here cuz of the book my dad got me 😂 by mark
It was normal To his day.
@Jesus Christ No, it's not! I'm approaching seven decades, Stalin was still alive when I was born; I've seen real racism, and it was the Democratic Party. You're nothing but a dictionary definition of what Saul Alinsky called a useful idiot, and your comment proves my point. You don't know sheep shit from burnt cottonseed.
@Jesus Christ I live in the South too, have all of my life, my second wife is black, so fucking what; you're nothing special. And yes, it's the Democrat party who are the party of racist, Jim Crow, the KKK, the Confederacy, and fought against civil rights or integrated schools. It was the Republicans who freed the slaves, brought about the 14th, 15th, and 16th amendments, the civil rights act, and abolished Jim Crow laws. Those are the facts, I lived through the '50s and '60s, I was there, deny all you want to believe in an agenda, but if you buy into the bullshit that the Democrats are slinging, you are a useful idiot.
Lets be honest, depending what time period or area, the states have quite the number of discrimination from race, sexism, but no place should be labeled worst or better
I just finished reading the book for English...I never watched this but near the end, I checked on the website. It's a great site! Thanks!
im watching this 30 minutes bfore school starts from winter break. thank you
was gonna watch the movie on youtube... comments said it was'nt the same plot... thx for helping me possibly pass english and not have to quit drama (which is my passion) great vid thx again
That's crazy. What a good ending, I would've never had the patience to read that to the end.
These video are soo Awesome!! Thank you SparkNotes!!!!

Very helpful summary, I just finished reading it but the overview and the illustrations help me to visualise everything better 📖☺️
Had a few days and a week (spring break) to read to chapter 16 l and I was sick the first two days we got the book so I was already 5 chapters behind I think I deserve to watch this video
I have a book report quiz today on this! Im so glad I found this! :D
Thank you so much Spark notes😊
I used to love reading huck Finns adventures when I was little. My mom read it to me and I read it on my own. Slowly I began to understand more and more of the themes and what’s going on.
I was watching this video just to understand the real novel. *THANK YOU* by the way.
Thanks!! this really helped me!!
Love the artwork! This is great as an after-reading review.
I couldn't force myself to read this book, so this just saved me.
One of the greatest American novels...a picaresque adventure novel with historical and social context of post-civil war era in America.
i watched this before i started reading the book for class and this helped me understand some of the stuff, of course i actual read the book but for some of those big parts of the book this helped me review for my school final
Thank you videosparknotes very cool...
I fell in love with that book as a child I forgot how much I much
i just spent 2 days listening to an audio book, then i found this. now i know the rest of the story.

thanks. Really well done.
These little clips are so amazing and helpful! Even for those who read the books (really liked this one by the way) :)
I read the book but I was confused and this helped a lot
One of my all time favourite classics. Read it for the first time as a 10 year old, and it just gave me a completely novel experience and imagination. Jeez, god bless Twain, and ofcourse, SparkNotes.
much better than reading thank you sparknotes
I honestly didn’t understand a decent amount of the book but this helped a lot. Thank you!
i had 3 weeks to read this, is on my 3rd right now, i have only read 130 pages, assesment due monday, english isnt my first language... thanks a lot
Tomorrow is my test and you help me may god bless you
this is beautiful.
one of my fav books
i love sparknotes!!!
Thanks so much for this 😀
Beautifully explain thanku
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you!!
Such a relief. Thank you so much
Hey! I want to guess you’re also doing AS Lit on Monday, the Huck and Unseen paper?
@@amoeba6000 nah. I am preparing for my job interview. I did B.s( Hons) in English three years ago. I have to prepare lot's of stuff which I didn't even read during my degree.
Good luck👍🏻😊
@@mahamkhan7365oh that’s so cool! I wish you the very best for it and hope everything goes your way 😊
@@amoeba6000 Thank you so much ❤😊
Break a leg✌👍🏻👍🏻
@@amoeba6000 Here is the tip.
First step is to make a character map. Now question is how? Put a protagonist in the centre draw other circles near him/her write name in circles. Connect them to the others and in arrow between them write their relationship for example siblings. Read their relationship and remember profession names etc. Read it three times.
(2) : Now it's time for summary. Read summary one time
(3) : Watch movie, play or animated movie based on the novel
(4) : Now read summary again.
It's the best way to memorize your novels and plays in a short time. 😊
Don't mind me, I just read the book, and am here for a better understanding of the story.
Twain is superb.
English Test Tomorrow 😂😂 thank you for this video !!!!
This guy makes huckleberry fin look badass
Wait, was his name JUST “Jim”?
I recall a certain name or word that always came before Jim...
MrFuggleGuggle what?
Crow went after Jim
Nah, he's never called that in the book. If I remember correctly Hemmingway called Jim that and now everyone thinks it was actually in the book
@@ghostchiryou you are wrong
@@allthesmallthings1041 Check the book, lmao, he's basically never called that name.
Wow I really enjoyed this summary! No need to read the book anymore. ^^
I'm amazed I enjoyed this as a small child
Thanks for your video
Very helpful
