Important differences between Huck Finn movie and book?!
Question: Can someone list some important differences between Huck Finn the book and Huck Finn the movie (1993 with Elijah Wood as Huck Finn)? The ones I have so far are:
They don't use the "n" word
Tom Sawyer only appears for 1 line in the movie
The whole ending scene is cut out
If you have anymore I would really appreciate it. The person with the most differences in the next hour gets the 10 points.
