This site was created as a final project for a class at IUPUI by Katherine L. Huddle. The course, 'The Book: 1450 to the Present,' or S681, is an elective class in the MLS program.
The purpose of the site is to function as a final project, and visually and textually brings together the idea of the novel 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' as a cultural icon that represents a slice of realistic life during a turbulent time period that can be difficult for many 21st century readers to understand.
The author of the site, Katherine L. Huddle, holds a BFA in Art History from Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is her second semester in the MLS program at IUPUI. She currently works full-time in the I.T. Department at Carmel Clay Public Library. She was forced to read 'The Adventure s of Huckleberry Finn' and many more works by Twain as both a high school and undergraduate student, and found herself to be enlightened, entertained, and never bored in the pages of Twain's unique and colorful characters.
