Number of Words: 390 / Number of Pages: 2
... out to just one person's life
is just as important as someone who can change the lives of millions.
One last thing I think is important to note is that, in recognizing the

That threat is directed at the white popula ...

describes in detail. Detail is also exceptionally displayed in the illustrations he
paints of the characters. Pap, Huck’s father, is one of the prime examples. Twain has
