Huckleberry

The word huckleberry is a small berry related to blueberries and blueberries , which is widespread in North America. Since 1835, the word is fixed in the meaning of “insignificant person” [2] .

The prototype of Huckleberry was Twain's childhood friend - Tom Blankenship. At first, the writer denied that Huck was written off from a real-life person, but then in Autobiography he admitted: “In“ Huckleberry Finne, ”I brought Tom Blankenship exactly the way he was. Uneducated, unwashed and always hungry, but with the kindest heart among all I knew. He enjoyed unlimited freedom and was the only truly independent person in our town and, as a result, constantly and undisturbedly happy. We all envied him. ” Tom's older brother really helped the runaway Negro hide, although such an act in the slaveholding South was considered shameful for the white man, and for the Negro a monetary reward was offered, which could be a good help for the poor family of Blankenships. Apparently, this story served as one of the motives for the second novel. .

You don’t know anything about me if you haven’t read a book called “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, but it doesn’t matter. This book was written by Mr. Mark Twain and, in general, did not lie very much. He added something, but, in general, not so much.
