Author Profile: Emma

Emma is currently a 16 year-old girl that attends a Catholic high school in the midwest. In her free time, she enjoys long walks on the beach, cheerleading, and vivaciously exclaiming prayers to the world. She has a pet gold fish that has been alive for 13 years. In regards to Huckleberry Finn, she is fond of the way in which the language and plot enlightens readers on American history. However, she finds the conclusion of Huck's development as a character to be a disappointment; it seems to fall short of Huck's "coming of age" that progresses throughout the novel.
