Another example of loss of innocence in the book would be Tony’s friends. The gang seems to be fairly innocent enough but they go through the lesser part of losing their innocence in this story. They have minor things such as hearing about the mischief around town and some of the horrible things that happen. Also the way they talk and act show how their childhood innocence is floating away while they don’t even know it. Then, there is the big example in one of Tony’s friends, Florence.

Number of words: 1583 | Number of pages: 6.... the hope that anyone he cares for could be spared this experience, and that they get back home wounded, but alive.
The lines "It's sundown in the camp; some youngster laughs, / Lifting his mug and drinking health to all / Who came unscathed from that unpitying waste:- / (Terror and ruin lurk behind his gaze.)" are deeply touching, a man tries to hide his fear behind a facade of bravado, but it is all too clear in his face.

Flaws In Twain's "The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn"
Number of words: 899 | Number of pages: 4.... me. George Jackson, sir”(pg. 95). I do have to
give him that the feud was interesting filler, but you can only take so much
filler. Then when John Wayne (The Duke) and Elvis (The King) come along there
seem to be four or five stops along the river that except for one little detail,

during all of this complaining I have done I did find humor in such things as
when Huck was observing some loc .....
