The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the story of a young boy thrown into the chaos of pre-Emancipation Proclamation times in Missouri as he struggles against the corrupt, twisted moral values society has impregnated within him since his upbringing.
Conflicts are prominent throughout the chapters, and many exemplify the cruelty and mistreatment of man to his own kind, such as the barbaric bloodshed of the feud between the Grangerfords and Shepherdsons, parallel to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and both events signify the weak, miserable excuse they draw on in the thirst for each others' blood- their hate of each others' family names, bringing to light the similar weakness in the white man's hate for African-Americans; simply because of their skin colour.
Twain has imbued the text with hypocritical irony, rich language and emotion among others, and they collectively spur the reader's thoughts on to sympathize with Jim's plight and appreciate his loving, lasting bond with Huck, through which both characters survive the worst of the story and for Huck, comes out a matured individual.
Siddhartha is the story of a spoilt young Hindu who stubbornly sulks for excessively long periods of time before his resigned father leaves him to his own desire to explore the world...and the opposite sex. His homosexual friend, Govinda, expectedly accompanies him on his quest of lust and craving.
They firstly hang out with a bunch of older gay men- before they realize they are paedophilic predators, and quickly leave their company through the use of Siddhartha's stun gun to disable their leader Long Lechery. The partners venture out to meet a extremely sculpted male model who has a giant following. Govinda quickly falls for his charm and joins the band of loyalists while Siddhartha begans to consider venturing into bisexuality, and leaves Govinda.
Siddhartha goes through many experiences after that- working, gambling, and exploring a courtesan. He unfortunately impregnates her, and is forced to evict himself from the setting, after which he transits through a wet dream in which his true expressions of bisexuality begin to emerge.
He then spends the rest of his life with a fellow homo called Vasudeva by the riverside, and after some time his son arrives to avenge his fallen mother who had died after a... snake had gotten the better of her. He causes his father much trouble and stress, but allows Siddhartha to discover the one aspect he had been missing thus far- paedophilia. And through his experiences with young Siddhartha, the elder gains enlightenment.
Siddhartha is a massive failure of a book, and is only popularized by the fact that its analysis is impossibly annoying and difficult due to the simple fact that the story is boring beyond belief- all the harder for students to score. Certainly it is a wonder that it has even sold a single copy- even it's front page is a bore to stare it. Perhaps the only moral one can take away from a reading of Siddhartha is that to achieve enlightenment, he has to impregnate a girl and run, baby, run, before she discovers it.
