Answer:

Mark Twain creates a realistic novel through meticulous detail in the descriptions of the setting, diction, and characters, based on his experiences as a steamboat engineer. The way characters and their speech are written in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn also has a realistic feel to it

Answer:

With instances like this, Twain attempts to point out that hypocrisy was rampant in his society. In all, Huck Finn can be considered an example of realism because it includes real societal issues that existed during the time in which the story is set.
