Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer’s friendship is an odd one. Readers first see them as two boys who get into hilarious scrapes. If they dig deeper‚ they see the boys conflict in their ideas and as Christopher Morris puts it "Huck is usually overpowered by Tom...

I both agree and disagree with mark twains essay. He did live in a different time‚ however cruelty still exists the same‚ just in a different age and time.
