That said, one of the most impressive aspects of his writing is the dialogue. Rather than try to describe it, we'll give you a taste. Tom, having just barely survived an encounter with Injun Joe the night before, goes to talk with Huck: • "Hello, Huck! ""Hello, yourself.“ [Silence, for a minute.] • "Tom, if we'd 'a' left the blame tools at the dead tree, we'd 'a' got the money. Oh, ain 't it awful! ""'T ai n 't a dream, then, 't ain 't a dream! Somehow I most wish it was. Dog‘ d if I don't,Huck."(27.4-8) Twain renders the rhythm of the speech beautifully, using contractions and slang to give life to Tom and Huck's speech.Small touches,like the "we'd 'a'" and "dog'd" go along way toward making them sound like real boys.Even that bracketed pause speaks volumes. Without suitable dialogue,all of Twain's observations and remarks would be like a cake without icing:still delicious,but not quite right.

Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individual—he is a combination of the characteristics of three boys whom I knew, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture.
