In a desperate attempt to create an essay like no other, and a lack of detail in what was already complete, I have decided to compare myself with Huckleberry Finn. Huckleberry Finn is one of America's favorite fictional characters. He is the focus of many interpretations; completely changing what Twain intended for him to be.

Huckleberry's limits his imagination while mine extends far out into the depths of pretend.
Huckleberry is extremely superstitious. He easily scares himself with superstition: "I got up and turned around in my tracks three times and crossed my breast every time; and t...
