A Nation Dividing and Expanding: Civil War, Regionalism, and Realism — Test

Question 6 • Honors English III

Which best describes the narration in chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ?

Answer

Huck narrates the story, which helps readers understand his point of view and his inner thoughts.

Huck’s father narrates the story, which makes it difficult for the reader to grasp Huck’s inner thoughts and feelings.

The story is narrated by the “widow,” which helps the reader see Huck as an immature child.

The story is told in the third person, which creates a sense of detachment between the reader and the characters.

Explanation

Huckleberry Finn is narrated in the first person by Huck, including in chapter 5. This lets readers hear his observations and understand his thoughts and feelings directly. The widow and Huck’s father are characters, not narrators, and the novel is not told in the third person.
