NARRATOR: First person narrator and dialogues.
POINT OF VIEW: Huckle’s.
PERSONAL COMMENT: This book teaches the importance of the freedom. I think everyone would have prefer to live in a big and warm house, wear clean dresses and go to school to civilize himself but not the one who tried the thrill to be free. Is also face the slavery’s problem, a very sad feature of American history that would be beautiful to forget.

  1. As Mariateresa, I think that this book is important because he speaks about the theme of freedom. Everyone has to be free, it doesn't matter where you come from. For this reason everybody has to know what the civilization and the slavery are. These themes are very important because they show how we live today and how we act with other people.
