Huckleberry Finn Journey
The Adventures of Hucklberry Finn, at first glance one would expect a lively sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, but this is not the case. Huck Finn is not a boy's tale, filled with childish games and pranks. It ventures into thoughts and ideas unimaginable for the time it was written. Huckleberry Finn, the main protagonist, embarks on a journey down the Mississippi River along with a runaway slave named Jim. The Mississippi is a symbol of freedom and protection for Huck and Jim and consequently, their journey down into the deep south helps change the way Huck views society and everything he thought was normal. In The Adventures of Hucklberry Finn Mark Twain compares through Huck's adventures, life on the river to life on the shore.
Huck
Finn, as described by Mark Twain was ignorant, unwashed, insufficiently fed; but he had a good heart as any boy had. Huck is the son of a drunkard, admired by every child and dreaded by every adult. He has no structure in his life and consequently with no one to guide him he became an exile. Similar to Jim, a black slave.
