In chapters seven and eight we see Huck on his way to the island and the beginning of his actual stay there. When Huck is away and on his own we see that Mark Twain changes the writing style a little bit. Huck is being independent and he describes the setting and scenarios to the reader with a better use of grammar. When he was back with the widow and Miss Watson the reader sees an inconsistent use of proper grammar mixed in with different writing styles. Huck doesn’t explain his surroundings as often in the beginning chapters of the book. When we get closer to the island in the plot in the progressing chapters he tends to explain his actions and setting thoroughly. By using more of his senses he gives a thorough image which really captures the reader.
