Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

I saw the movie "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"in class of a history of American Literature. This is moving story, so I want everyone to know this.
"Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is known as a work representing the present-day American literature announced by Samuel Clemens, alias Mark Twain. Although this was similarly defined by Hemingway, the American literature writer, it is a work which it is popular, so that it is said that what matches after a writer called the work and Mark Twain "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" does not exist, and everyone does not suspect as the origin of American literature.
This tale makes it the stage around the 1830~1840s before American Civil War. Gym who is the black slave and fled with innocent and young hero Huck mainly goes ahead with talking. Although Huck did not have a mother but it was living with the father of alcoholism, it is dressed, and Huck flees, as he was killed, and meets with a gym. Gym feared the sale to the lower part of a river which becomes a lifelong separation with a family. In Mississippi Valley which travels, they encounter people of various kinds, such as a murderer, a thief, a swindler, and a hypocrite.
Although various themes such as a family and religion are taken up with this work, it is possible that the keyword which is the most open is racial discrimination. The humanity of the gym is accepted by Huck in the theme of the race problem. Gym was classified according to the world as a black person, and had to live on him as unbecoming "slave" as man. However, he is strongly braver than any human being, and generous. Whites other than Huck who appears in a tale gaze by the eye which scorned the black person, are selfish and are drawn cruelly and foolish.
Mark Twain is called a writer of realism and slavery of those days and man's vicious field over it can also see this writing. Therefore, when this writing is published for the first time, the world is not so open, and sensible parents presuppose that this should not be shown to a child and say that he was a dangerous thing. However, it is also understood how this work has taken up the problem of racial discrimination straightly, and whether to overlook the world by the gentle eye without cloudy weather which is Huck.

in 2013

I learned a lot of things in 2013. I didn't think my homework was hard before I became a sophomore. Comparing with the time of freshman, I had to study and my homework more. I had to do book reviews and typing homework every day or week. I didn't study enough in spring semester, because I didn't use my time well. I was busy because of my part-time job, club activity, and another work. I regret not studying enough last year. It was hard to do my homework and study, but I could improve reading and writing skills. In 2014, I want to handle many things easily, and study efficiently.
