The next day Mr. Bill hit me for no good reason and so I smashed a potato on his back and told him that I would smash his head with big rock that I had found.

  • Huckleberry Finn And Keller

    403 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Story of My Life by Helen Keller and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain are two very different books. The most obvious distinction is that one of the stories is about the life of a girl who lived in this world and the other novel is about the adventures of a fictional character from America. The Story of My Life is an autobiography of Helen Keller, from the days of her birth to the days of her graduation at Radcliffe College. Set in the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s, she writes about her feelings and the experiences of living life as a blind and deaf child. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is like what the title suggest, it is about Huckleberry Finn and his life after he runs away from his abusive father.
