Emerson's poems were actually very good. They gave you a good outlook on life and helped you realize how precious it really is. If you just skimmed over these poems (like most people do) you'd say oh, this is just really boring and plus it's a poem, why would I want to read this, but when you actually take the time out to read them slow and understand them you probably will get it and understand it and maybe even like it. I know I did, because I like stuff that shows you how awesome life is anyway.

Huck Finn 4
I finished the book, and for an overall review of the book, I will say this. It really wasn't as bad as I anticipated it. In the beginning it was slow and hard to understand, and I will admit it left me discouraged and made me want to stop reading, because even though it was a good book, I really hate the way they talk in the book. But at the end the story got really interesting and you wanted to know what happened next, it was a really good adventure story. I recommend this book if you don't have any trouble reading different dialects than your own, but if not, I don't think you'll like it as much as you would if it was just in regular wording. If the book was in regular wording, it would probably be ten times better and I would have enjoyed it that much more, but nonetheless it was still an alright book, and I didn't mind reading it for the most part.

Huck Finn 3
I am actually starting to like this book. I got how Huck went to the circus and everything, and how the duke and the king started that show and tricked everyone out of their money, and when they stole Peter Wilkes' money. It is actually kind of exciting, and there are some fun twists to the plot now. The book is still really hard to understand, but I like that I think it's exciting and adventurous now rather than boring the whole time. Now that I am starting to like it, I am starting to understand it more, which is a good feeling.

Huck Finn 2
As I continue to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I start to like it less and less. The plot is confusing to me, and the dialect makes it even harder for me to read. I try to get into it but it is very hard for me to. There are some interesting parts but even those are hard for me to understand. I just hope the book will maybe get better as I keep going, because I know if I like the book it'll be better for me to understand it.

Huck Finn 1
Today, I started reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The book starts out with Huck as the narrator and he is telling the story of some events in his life. This book so seems like it is going to be okay, I don't really like how they talk because it is hard to understand. So far it is interesting, I liked the part where Huck describes how he is friends with Tom Sawyer, because it kind of shows you where the book about Tom Sawyer left off. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this book, I just hope it does not disappoint me, because I really do not like the dialect they speak in and it is very confusing to comprehend.
