Huckleberry finn essay
How does Twain use symbols to express a message about society? The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is about the story about a kid named Huck that has been treated badly by his dad, and faked his murder to get away on the Mississippi river. He travels with a slave named Jim who heard that he was going to be sold away from his family for $800 so he ran away while everyone was running around looking for Huck. Both Huck and Jim run to Jackson's island for safety. Eventually they both continued down the river so Jim can be free and Huck gets away from his dad. Twain uses the symbol of the raft and the river to express that society is cruel. In the book the raft and how Twain uses Huck to
express the ways of society. Towards the end of the book, Huck is relieved that he is back on the raft for a bit he is a bit tense and still at ease but he got comfortable again. “ I never felt easy till the raft was two mile below there and out in the middle of the Mississippi.” (Twain 117) When leaving all the chaos of the fight and such huck was ready to be at peace again on the raft that he felt safe on. This effect also seemed to rub off on Jim, the raft with Huck and Jim has helped Huck make a friendship with a once slave that he lived with. Also, I saw throughout the book that Huck's main escape route was the river and when ever Huck is floating along the river alone or with Jim he seems to act more relaxed. Even though Huck has been through so much he pulls off each day like every other, strong.
