The America that Mark Twain wrote about in Huck Finn has some similarities and differences with today's America. First I'll talk about the differences. In Mark Twain's America he shows how much racism there is and how much America was spilted and in today's America there is not as much racism and the two main races live together now. In America today people have become more intelligent than the people from back then. The main difference that came to me is that people in today's world have become more different in the way they think and the way they live. The America in Mark Twain's book people basically lived the same and also most people had the same views of life. Now I'll talk about the similarities. There is still racism in the world even though it is not as bad as back then. Some people may not show their racist views but there are people who think that way and it continues to spilt America a little. Like the King and the Dauphin who were con men in Huck Finn, there are people in America who still continue to do that and harm other people. Also there is still child abuse just like in Huck Finn. The main similarity is that people are always on the hunt to find out who they are just like Huck Finn.
