How to pronounce“Sawyer”in English
Huckleberry Finn, the son of the town drunk, is the sidekick character in “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” He lives rough and never has to go to school and is pretty much the envy of all the other boys.
But at the end of that first book he agrees to go and live with the Widow Douglas and become “sivilized” so that he can join Tom Sawyer’s gang.
The question of what constitutes “getting sivilized” is at the very center of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” And so it begins right there, some time in the 1830s, a few decades before the Civil War.
