My favorite author

 The way a story is written can greatly influence how well it is accepted.  One of my favorite books is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain.  Huckleberry Finn is a wonderful adventure story of a young boy and his friend named Jim.  During the course of the book, Huck Finn and Jim travel down the Mississippi River, coming across many instances of danger and excitement.  I love this book because it’s a great adventure story, but it also is very well written.  Mark Twain does an excellent job appealing to his audience.  One of the things that he does, that I really like, is the use of local dialect. Twain has many of the characters speak as if they are from the south, since the setting of the book is the southern part of America. By having the characters use this language; it adds appeal to the books plot and characters.  It makes everything in the book more exciting because we aren't use to such language when we read.  Another thing that Twain does well is visualization.  Twain does a great job explaining the setting and the story without making it complicated.  As a reader this is very nice because you aren't trying to piece the thought process of the writer together, instead you can just read and enjoy the book.  The last thing that I love about Mark Twain’s writing is that there is always a deeper meaning behind his story.  He has great life lessons as themes that can be found throughout his work, especially in Huckleberry Finn.  The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a wonderful novel that I would recommend to anyone.
