Argument Essay: Due Wednesday 12/3

In //The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn//, Mark Twain uses irony to critique the standards and customs of his society. He described //Huck Finn// as a novel “… where a sound heart and deformed conscience come into collision.” Twain’s Huck Finn is an outsider whose unique perspective and experience highlight the collision between what is socially acceptable and what is morally right. In a thesis-driven essay, examine the nature of this collision and identify Twain’s critique. Use specific references from the text to develop your position.
