How can you use “finn” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Two years ago, Smiley published an essay in Harper's --a manifesto, really--claiming that readers have been conned into seeing Huckleberry Finn as the "definitive" American novel when it's actually a mess and a moral disaster.
When Finn returns, the scene has an eye-popping storybook terror, with its cocked frames, its sharp reeds standing out from the deep black night sky, and with De Niro giving the young boy that patented sour-stomach-bogeyman grimace.
Finn's awkwardness keeps him inoffensive, but it thoroughly obviates the dramatic arc that's the whole point of Dickens' novel: If success doesn't change Finn for the worse, then his rejection of the high life doesn't entail the same kind of sacrifices--or come as a consequence of some harrowing epiphany.
Plus, a Scandinavian furniture report: Jon Krakauer is "Into Finn Chairs."
What happens then is an enchanting blend of old and new, as Finn is summoned to the manse of Nora Dinsmoor (Anne Bancroft), a filthy-rich ex-socialite driven mad by her abandonment, decades earlier, by a wayward fiance.
