Twain wrote The adventures of Huckleberry Finn in 1885. What did he want to criticize?

1**. Because I always love this writer and humorist, and I had a certain interest in her life. **
 *  2. Mark Twain had a very happy childhood when his family moved to live in Hannibal, but after the death of his father , Mark Twain was forced to make a living as an apprentice in the printing of his older brother . **
 *  But after a few years Mark Twain married Olivia Langton, who manage to have a happy life .  **
 * 5. Twain was when he heard his protest in an era when life in America was dominated by materialism and corruption of the " golden age"after the American Civil War .**
 * 8. Huck represents the clash of children with the raw reality, but are told with humor , her experiences and travels are not always pleasant. Tom however is full of life and humor , and childish attitude reflected the lads who star in the novel.  **
 * 9. At that time, Missouri was a slave state and the young Twain was familiar with slavery , a theme later explored in his writings. Personal criticism of this book is that Mark Twain tells of a clever way , as we move into the place of character and we understand the desire to live the good Tom . **
 * Mark Twain is not very descriptive in their characters, but strives in more detail in the landscape and where the protagonist is presented . **
