Hello :)

I have this question:

Do you feel that using colloquial language was a good idea in such a masterpiece? Or would you want to read a formal language?

If I am to answer this question, I would hail for Mark Twain because the colloquial language made it more realistic and broke the line of fiction. And that is what made it a masterpiece.

what do you think?
