Is this an essay question!? Here's a general idea of how you could start off:

"Romanticism in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is evident by the adventurous turn of events the characters experience throughout the story!. Mark Twain includes realism by including racism as one of his many themes, therefore giving the story a more serious tone!. By combining both these concepts--a serious and realistic message in a setting that emphasizes racism and the flaws of society of Twain's time with a romantic turn of unrealistic events that are fun to read, Twain is able to create a story that is both enjoyable to read, but also gives a serious message!."
