Ch 8
Huckleberry Finn
Captured the American dialect of all social strata and put it in his books
Ernest Hemmingway called Huckleberry Finn the greatest American novel nothing as good until then and nothing as good since.
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn were semi autobiographical, about Samuel Clemens, who we know as Mark Twain.

Ragged Dick
Horatio Alger was prob a pedophile.
Rages to riches, but dick didnt want money, he wanted to be respectable
Always honest , luck and pluck, he was honest, virtuous, brave and eventually succeeds - this formula was repeated in almost 100 stories Alger wrote

Ch 5
Uncle tom’s cabin - HB Stowe
Best selling novel of 19th century!
Abe Lincoln “ so you’re the little lady that wrote the book that lead to this war!”
Critics complain it is simplistic and too preachy.
It is excellent in evoking anger at injustice, fear, sympathy, humility, rectitude, anguish, joy, fortitude for a job not finished, for when one is deprived all of us are captive.
