The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: STYLE
  1. PERSONFICATION
    1. "Two or three days and nights went by; I reckon I might say they swum by, they slid along so quiet and smooth and lovely" (Twain 116).
    2. HYPERBOLE
      1. "So we went a-quaking and shaking down the stabboard side, and slow work it was, too -- seemed a week before we got to the stern. No sign of a boat" (Twain 70).
      2. ONOMATOPOEIA
        1. ". . .and then a perfect ripper of a gust would follow along and set the branches to tossing their arms as if they was just wild; and next, when it was just about the bluest and blackest -- FST!" (Twain 48-49).
        2. METAPHOR
          1. "Everybody loved to have him around, too; he was sunshine most always. . . When he turned into a cloud-bank it was awful dark for half a minute. . ." (Twain 105).
          2. FORESHADOWING
            1. "You wants to keep 'way fum de water as much you kin, en don't run no resk, 'kase it's down in de bills dat you's gwyne to git hung" (Twain 18).
            2. SIMILE
              1. "Directly it begun to rain, and it rained like all fury, too, and I never see the wind blow so" (Twain 48).
              2. EUPHEMISM
                1. "Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad then, but I didn't mean no harm" (Twain 2).
                2. ALLUSION
                  1. "After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take no stock in dead people" (Twain 2).
                  2. SITUATIONAL IRONY
                    1. Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there. . . I couldn't see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my mind I wouldn't try for it. But I never said so, because it would only make trouble, and wouldn't do no good" (Twain 2-3).
                    2. JUXAPOSITION
                      1. "Sometimes the widow would take me one side and talk about Providence in a way to make a body's mouth water; but maybe next day Miss Watson would take hold and knock it all down again" (Twain 11).
                      2. IMAGERY
                        1. I went up and set down on a log at the head of the island, and looked out on the big river and the black driftwood and away over to the town, three mile away, where there was three or four lights twinkling. A monstrous big lumber-raft was about a mile up stream, coming along down, with a lantern in the middle of it. I watched it come creeping down, and when it was most abreast of where I stood I heard a man say, "Stern oars, there! heave her head to stab-board!" I heard that just as plain as if the man was by my side" (Twain 36).
                        2. ASSONANCE
                          1. ". . .and now you'd hear the thunder let go with an awful crash, and then go rumbling, grumbling, tumbling, down the sky towards the under side of the world. . ." (Twain 49).
