There are many ways but here is a guideline I should say

1. What is your opinion on the dialect in the story?

2. What is your opinion on the way he incorporated the dialect with the novel?

3. What is your opinion on the language? Is it easy to understand?

4. In your opinion where is the use of different dialect used the most?

5. In your opinion The story overall, the emotion/ feeling. (ex. flowery,sappy, drama)

6. What is your opinion on Twain's talent?

side note: There are also other topics to discuss and incorporate Twain's talents in the novel. Irony etc.

Here are some quotes that I wanted to willingly share to everyone on how genius Twain is in this novel.

"By and by he rolled out and jumped up to his feet looking wild, and he see me and went for me. He chased me round and round the place with a clasp knife, calling me the Angel of death, and saying he would kill me, and then I couldn't come for him no more. I begged, and told him I was only Huck; but he laughed such a screechy laugh, an roared and cussed, and kept on chasing me up."

"Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot."

"Who told you you might meddle with such hifalut'n foolishness, hey?"

"They tackled missionarying, and mesmerizing, and doctoring, and telling fortunes, and a little of everything; but they couldn't seem to have no luck. So at last they got just about dead broke, and laid around the raft as she floated along, thinking and thinking, and never saying nothing, by the half a day at a time, and dreadful blue and desperate."

"We catched fish and talked, and we took a swim now and then to keep off sleepiness. It was kind of solemn, drifting down the big, still river, laying on our backs looking up at the stars, and we didn't ever feel like talking loud, and it warn't often that we laughed-only a little kind of a low chuckle. We had mighty good weather as a general thing, and nothing ever happened to us at all-that night, nor the next, nor the next."

"These liars warn't no kings nor dukes, at all, but just low-down humbugs and frauds."

"Jim had plenty of corncob pipes and tobacco; so we had a right down good sociable time, there we crawled out through the hole, and so home to bed, with hands that looked like the'd been cawed. Tom was in high spirits. He said it was the best fun he ever had in his life."

"But I reckon I got to light out for the territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it. I been there before."

"Well, if ever I struck anything like it, I'm a -. It was enough to make a body ashamed of the human race."

"I thought it all out, and reckoned I would belong to the widow if he wanted me, though I couldn't make out how he was a-going to be any better off then than what he was before, seeing I was so ignorant, and so kind of low-down and ornery."

Whoever wrote this guideline is on the right track but i would add that their is a heavy use of sarcasm, and dialect [not a flowery sounding speech liked stated above but, the characters talked like people]

Answer 2

He was unique because he wrote using different accents for all his characters to make them more realistic.

Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very;" your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. ~Mark Twain
