Considered to be America's must-read classic, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a picaresque novel about a young boy, Huck, and a slave, Jim. Throughout the story these two marginalized characters meet new people, discover new customs, and much much more. The various techniques and story lines Twain uses informs the reader of the major issues that were faced during the 18th century, while still making the reader laugh. Every ingredient Twain uses, such as satire and the various themes, make The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a phenomenal piece of literature.
In order to express his thoughts on conflicting issues facing society at the time, Twain writes the book from the first person point of view of a teenager. This approach accomplishes a non bias or bigot view of the main issues discussed.

As well as creating an unclouded view, Twain also entertains the reader with the slapstick humor throughout the book. Because Huck is such a young boy, his immature judgments get him into trouble. But although Huck tends to make bad decisions at certain points, the author behind the child makes a clear view on the issues of slavery, racism, the "upper" and "lower class" of the time, religion, royalty, etc.
As well as writing the book from the views of a young helpless child, Twain also throws some satire into the book. This contributes to the entertainment art of the book, which Twain does really well. The satire from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn comes in many different forms throughout the novel. Irony and slapstick humor were two of the major forms of satire used that contributed greatly to this novel.
Much of the irony Twain uses is to point out the hypocrisy of the white "upper" class that Huck is forced into various times. A major point of hypocrisy that is expresse

expressed throughout much of the novel is the fact that so many of the devout white citizens express their devotion to God by reading the Bible, going to church, saying grace, etc. yet are racists who treat blacks inhumanely. These all go against what they supposedly say they believe in. As a result, this false virtue steers young Huck to the direction of atheism. Continuous times in the book Huck wonders why people are so pious. At one point Huck says, "They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it. Here she was a-bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody..."(6), and he also describes grace during dinner as having to "wait for the widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the victuals..."(5).

Showing another irony among "God-fearing" whites of 18th century society, Twain writes about two feuding high class families, the Grangerfords and Shepherdsons. After Jim and Huck separate from each other due to the storm(Chapter 16), and after much interrogation, lost Huck ends up being taken in by a very rich and sophisticated family, the Grangerfords. It turned out that the Grangerfords were in the midst of a feud with another family the Shepherdsons, which had been lasting for over thirty years. Part of the irony is that when Huck asks Buck, the youngest of the Grangerford children, about the feud, he says he doesn't know: "Laws, how do I know? It was so long ago....[P]a knows, I reckon, and some of the other old people; but they don't know now what the row was about in the first place"(97).

These were sophisticated people but were so ignorant as to not know why they had been killing each other for so many years. These parochial families even had the moxie to bring their shotguns to a church in which they listened to a sermon about, ironically enough, "brotherly love". "Next Sunday we all went to church...[t]he men took their guns along... and kept them between their knees or stood them handy against the wall. The Shepherdsons done the same. It was pretty ornery preaching - all about brotherly love..."(98).

Aside from talking about the ignorance of the upper white class, Twain touches upon the gullibility of the country people. In chapter 20 (116-117) the Dauphin gets up on a platform in church and begins preaching about how he had been a pirate but had changed his way after being robbed, and now he is looking to visit other fellow pirates on the Indian Ocean and "turn the pirates into the true path;for he could do it better than anybody else, being acquainted with all pirate crews in that ocean..."(117).
