Referring toAdventures of Huckleberry Finn,H. L. Mencken noted that his discovery of this classic American novel was "the most stupendous event of my whole life"; Ernest Hemingway declared that "all modern American literature stems from this one book," while T. S. Eliot called Huck "one of the permanent symbolic figures of fiction, not unworthy to take a place with Ulysses, Faust, Don Quixote, Don Juan, Hamlet."
The novel's preeminence derives from its wonderfully imaginative re-creation of boyhood adventures along the Mississippi River, its inspired characterization, the author's remarkable ear for dialogue, and the book's understated development of serious underlying themes: "natural" man versus "civilized" society, the evils of slavery, the innate value and dignity of human beings,and other topics. Most of all,Huckleberry Finnis a wonderful story, filled with high adventure and unforgettable characters.

Description
The High School guides offer many familiar and popular high school literature options from Progeny Press. With over 37 titles to choose from, there are numerous books to fill your students’ reading time! All titles are presented from a Christian worldview, and each guide is filled with comprehension questions, vocabulary building, dedicated analysis work, and scriptural connections and application. Pages can be copied for family and individual classroom use. Many of the classics are found in this collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive) for your students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended goal is for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back and can be easily removed. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini author biographies, and background information. These literature selections are more suited for high school students as they contain difficult topics and content. Guided reading offers a structured reading experience that develops analytical skills while enjoying a well-crafted story! ~Rebecca
