Excerpt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain
..Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece- all
gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it
fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round - more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas she took
me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me, but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal
regular and decent the widow was in all her ways, and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out. I got into my old rags and
my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied. But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of
robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable. So I went back.

A)
a travelogue about Mississippi
B)
the adventure of growing up
a conflict between religion and science
D)
the difficulties of being a man
