Realism in literature is writing about realistic, everyday characters and events, which usuallyfocuses on the experiences and stuggles of the working-class audiences lives. The whole point of realistic literature was to present people and regions in a realistic light and that's what Twain’s characters show. His character Huck lived in a world in which being a civilized child included schooling, manners, and religion, although Huck wanted nothing to do with it which was a realistic situation at the time. Twain basically presented everyday encounters in Huck’s life as realistically as possible, making him a very lifelike character. This is a breath of fresh air in a sense because most characters in story’s are portrayed as nearly perfect,but Huck’s character is very much like a teenager,with problems and experiences that many of us go through.
