Adventure for freedom with Huck and Jim

By: Tyler M.

Huckleberry Finn and his friend Thomas Sawyer have a good sum of money from their earlier adventure. Huckleberry then decides to go on more adventures with Jim his friend.

Huckleberry first starts off by starting with Tom Sawyer and his group of robbers when suddenly Huckleberry's father Pap, who is an abusive alcoholic, find Huckleberry trying to sneak out. Huck knows that if Pap found out he would just use all of his fortune he found with Tom on alcohol. Huck prevents him from taking it and is successful but Pap then kidnaps Huck and leaves his town of St.Petersburg, Missouri. Then then end up in Illinois in a small cabin along the creek. Pap was very abusive to Huck so when Pap left Huck faked his own death and when down the river. Huck then ends up on Jackson island where he meets up with Jim a slave. Jim has plan to go to Cairo, Illinois which is a free place so that he can buy the rest of his family and set them free. Huck and Jim find the news about Huck's fake death and Pap was blamed but a reward is now on Jim's back because he ran away.

Huck and Jim are now in Arkansas where they pick up two people. The first who claims to be a long lost son of an english duke the second claims to be the son of Louis XVI and rightful King of France. To draw attention off of Jim the two boys they picked up pretended to be people who were more wanted. Huck while the two boys were not looking tried to escape but failed and succeeded the second time. Huck then goes back to Jim and realizes they had sold to a family who insisted on returning him to his rightful owner for the reward. Huck finds out where the family was and develops a plan to get him back. Huck then proceeds to go and get him and sets him free.

Huck and Jim then end up being free and Jim and Huck just continued to float down the river. These two men will probably  be friends fro the rest of their lives and they will also probably get Jim's family free in the end as well.

Mark Twain has some very good concepts about the south and their slavery and the adventures of children so I hope to read more of Mark Twain's books in the near future.
