Huck Finn was a great book. There was a lot of superstition in said book. "After supper she got out her book and learned me about mosses and the bulrushes: and I was in a sweat to find out all about him, but by and by she let it out that mosses had been dead a considerable long time. So then I didn't care no more abort him. Because I didn't take a stalk in dead people."(TWAIN 6) That shows that he cares about superstition.
Another example is, "Now she had got a start, and she went on and told me all about the good place. She said all a body would have to do there was to go around all day and sing with a harp. Forever and ever. So I didn't think much of it. But I never said so. I asked her if she reckoned Tom Sawyer would go there, and she said not by a considerable sight. I was glad about that, because I wanted him and me to be together.(TWAIN6)"
One more example is," Some young birds come along, fling a yard or two at a time and lighting Jim said it was a sign when young chickens flew that was, and so he reckoned it was the same was when young birds done it."(TWAIN34)
A final example is, "And he said if a man owned a bee-hive, and lighting. Jim said it was a sign it was going to rain. He said it was a sign when young chickens done it, and reckoned it was the same when young birds done it ."(TWAIN34)
In conclusion, this essay shows examples of superstition in the time the book was written. The Author Mark Twain was careful to include these in order to give the audience a more thorough insight of the time. All in all Huck fin was a classic tale that will be here for many generations to come.
