Anticipation of Huck Finn

I have actually read Huck Finn before, but it was in high school so I have forgotten many of the details. I still remember the main plot but some of the details are a bit fuzzy. However, this was one of the books that I liked the most in high school. Out of all the books I read in HS, Huck Finn was in my top 3. Therefore, I am pretty happy to be reading it again, and using it in class in a different way than I did in high school. I know we went over many of the themes of this book in class, and I think we covered most of the main ones that I could remember...child abuse, coming of age, racism, and Christianity. I think it will be interesting reading Huck Finn a second time and seeing how my interpretation may have changed, or just see how reading it a second time is different than it was the first time. I hope to get more out of it the 2nd time, and see how the work that we do with it will enhance my understanding of this novel.
