Summary
This is the story of a young boy, Huck, who befriends a slave, Jim. Huck and Jim
both escape from their own lives and while running away,embark on an adventure
that takes them on a journey down the Mississippi River, and brings them into many
conflicts with the society around them.
He wrote this because to follow up his Adventure of Tom Sawyer sequel and also to
display what it was sort of like between those times implementing slavery.
Message and Themes
One of the major known themes is Freedom. As Huck and Jim seeks freedom and go along their
journey to get to their description of freedom.
Money plays a big role because that's how the adventure started because of money. The greediness of
people have turned a lot of people into snobs
Adventure plays a key role to the plots and the themes. Without the concept of their adventure these
themes wouldn't be able to produce it into context. The book tells us of the adventures that Huck and
Jim takes after he fakes his death
Guilt plays a good role in the advancement of the plot because it shows Huck's maturity and
understanding if he was in that person's shoes.
Main Character
Huck Finn
Changed from a self-serving young boy who has used Jim
for his own amusement and who has been guided by a set
of morals which are unjust and discriminatory and which
he can now see do not serve the greater good
Huck disagreed with many things, but over time he begins
to change his moral concepts and perceive the mistakes
and correctness of society more clearly, so he creates his
own moral concept.
Connection
The connection i can understand
throught the book is the slavery and
how that i could understand that the
book was banned in certain areas.
The world really don’t want to
express the truth of what happened
to us and what we really went
through. The use movies to entertain
us and make us forget that it is a
true story this is just like that.
