Blog #2: Why did you and your partner choose this novel? In first pages, are you both pleased with the selection? Explain both of your feelings. We chose this novel, because my mom have heard about it and that it was really good, but when we started reading it, we found out that the level is too hard so we decided to choose another classic that is easier for us both.

Hahaha there's also a Jim in my book! I remembered the first time I heard of Huckleberry Finn was when I watched a movie in Serbian. When I grew a little more, I read the book, and it was amusing! The language he used and all! I found it funny how Huck attended his own funeral...even though the fact that everyone thought he drowned wasn't necessarily supposed to be funny. :/ I find it amusing when he goes to the woman to talk to her dressed as a girl. She sees just by which hand he sews with that he's a boy. And when she pretended there was a rat or something...I don't remember, but she pointed out to him that he was doing everything in a boy's manner. Haha!
