First Line

The first line of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn captures the book in its raw essence. It begins as the narrator, later identified to be Huckleberry Finn, opens with a statement that blatantly says that we may know of him from another book. From the opening pages, the audience feels the omnipresence of both Huck?s narrative voice and Twain?s voice as author. It introduces Huck in a colloquial, friendly manner and after continuing we see that when Huck refers to the author as ?Mr. Mark Twain?, forming a separation between the two different narrators and another between Twain?s previous The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the object novel.
