My re-write plan

Hi, guys.
I am going to re-write based on a famous story called "The adventure of Huckleberry Finn".
Genre of this story is satirical novel, and I've planned to re-write
from an Asian point of view. Thus, the actual novel begins on the Mississippi River,
but my re-write would begin in Korea during the era foreigners were not familiar yet.

This novel was written by Mark Twain, and he wrote during the post-colonial time where
intense whites react against blacks.
Twain took aim against racial prejudice, increasing segregation and lynching, and the generally accepted belief which blacks were sub-human.

This is my idea of re-write so far, and wonder how you guys think about this :)

It sounds great.... very interesting. So when you say that you are gonna re-write the story from Asian's point of view, is that mean that Asian character(s) will be introduced in your writing with those current(?) Black and White people?

Hi, Hannah

You reall chose good one! So, will you write Gym's point of view? It would be interstanding whatever you choose as your main character. Good luck! Ganbate!! ( 힘내세요! 의 일본말^^)

May.

Hi Hannah,
Your re-write sounds very interesting, its kewl that you are taking a very different twist for the re-write and introducing your culture into it.

Cant wait to read your re-write..

Hi Hannah, I'm in love with Korean films. I had no doubt that I will love your re-write as well. I'm so looking forward to read it. Good luck with it.

Hi Hannah,
I'm not familiar with the novel; however, every theme that talks about colour of the skin, race, is always a polemic one and you should be able to expand it pretty well, as the theme gives you plenty of room to develop it. We shall see what the twist is going to be like.
Kia ora koe.
