The correct answer is "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," which is a seminal work in American literature written by Mark Twain. This novel follows the adventures of a young boy, Huckleberry Finn, as he travels down the Mississippi River on a raft alongside Jim, an escaped enslaved man. The journey serves as a backdrop for Twain's exploration of themes such as social justice, racism, and the conflict between civilization and freedom.
Huckleberry's character represents a critique of the societal norms of the time as he grapples with his moral dilemmas and ultimately decides to help Jim, challenging the racist attitudes prevalent in pre-Civil War America. Through Huck's eyes, readers experience not only a physical journey down the river but also an emotional and ethical journey that questions the values of society.
The other options feature different stories and characters; "The Catcher in the Rye" follows Holden Caulfield’s experiences in New York City, "To Kill a Mockingbird" centers around Scout Finch and her family, and "Little Women" tells the story of the lives of the March sisters as they navigate life and growing up during the Civil War. Each of these works is important in its own right but does not focus on Huck Finn's journey
