In Mark Twain's novel the "Adventures of Huck Finn" the author uses the elements of child narrator and irony to help the reader understand the theme that people sometimes need to go against society to do what they know is right in their hearts. One important element to understanding the theme is the use of a child narrator. Children often speak from the heart and Huck is no exception. For example, in the novel Huck …showed first 75 words of 499 total…

…showed last 75 words of 499 total…is ironic because who would guess that he actually knew the people that bought Jim and risks impersonating Tom to help free Jim. Clearly, irony is important to the theme. All in all this book shows theme really well by using a child narrator and a lot of irony in the book. These two factors show the reader that sometimes it is right to go against society if you know it's right in your heart.
