Summary-The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
In the beginning of the story Huckleberry Finn, a young teenaged boy, gets kidnapped by his drunken father, Pap. Pap beats him and locks him in a cabin. Huck then fakes his own death and runs away. He not only runs away to avoid Pap, but also to avoid being "sivilized." Along the way, he meets up with Jim. Jim is a black runaway who had overheard his owner, Miss Watson, talking about selling him to a plantation. Jim wants to find his wife and children, and by his conversations with Huck, it is apparent that Jim is also a human being with feelings. Though the present-day reader realizes this, it is something Huck has to become conscious of along the journey. The two become com
Then Tom actually arrives but Huck informs him of his situation and his plan to free Jim. He creates an elaborate way of doing so that it would "maybe get them all killed. Huck sees through their act early on, but Jim doesn't. Tom's Aunt Polly shows up and identifies everyone as their true selves. Jim tells Huck that the dead man in the house they had found was Pap. Huck has a chance to live with Aunt Sally but he doesn't want any more "sivilizing" and decides to go west. They start downriver on the raft in search of the Ohio River, so that from there they can get on a steamboat to the free states. Huck finds out where Jim is being held and it is none other than his best friend Tom Sawyer's relatives' home. There is a shot man inside the house, but Jim doesn't let Huck see the man's face. It turns out that Tom knew the entire time that Jim had been free--Miss Watson had died and left in her will to free Jim. There is so much fog that they miss the opening to the river. Tom had used this opportunity to carry out a silly game.
