① Intertextual connections between Life on the Mississippi and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Both draw from Twain’s Mississippi River experiences. Life on the Mississippi describes the river’s culture, steamboat life, and landscapes, which reappear in Huckleberry Finn as the setting for Huck and Jim’s journey. Characters in Huckleberry Finn reflect the people (pilots, settlers, etc.) Twain met on the river, and the river’s role as both a freedom path and a dangerous place is consistent in both books. ② Yes. Twain’s experience as a steamboat pilot (from Life on the Mississippi) and his observations of diverse people on the river influenced Huckleberry Finn. Huck’s love for freedom and distrust of rigid society mirrors Twain’s own叛逆 against traditional norms. Jim’s character reflects Twain’s encounters with enslaved people and his growing anti - slavery views, shaped by his life in the pre - Civil War South. The author’s background—struggles, adventures, and moral growth—echoes in Huck’s journey.
