I’m going to finish the list.

These techniques can be obvious, such as the technique of rhyme in a poem, or subtle, such as juxtaposition, which can go unnoticed by the reader.

Point of View: This book is set in 3rd person point of view. The point of view didn’t enhance the book in anyway.

The story is on third-person (objective), but if the story were to be explained in omniscient first person, we would not have gotten all the information. we would not have gotten all the information about the persons thoughts.

Authors have different ways to convey the emotions from their work to the reader. Diction and sentence structure is one of the many components authors use to create the tone of the story, also known as the author’s attitude towards the subject. But with the use of figurative language it helps express the meaning of a line without using its literal definition.

It is in first person because it is narrated by the main character Huckleberry Finn. The narrator's perspective is that he likes to be on his own and not civilized. This is Huck’s perspective because in the book it says “ here weren’t no home like a raft. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft.” This develops throughout the text by that in the beginning they are trying to get civilized but it was annoying to them. Then they run away and experience tragic things such as friends dying. Then they meet back at the raft and have a good
In the 1st person point of view the reader sees the story unfold from the perspective of the narrator. Many novels use this convention such as classics like Catcher in the Rye and Treasure Island.
