Huck Finns real father
In Mark Twain's novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn young Huck seems to have two fathers. Pap, his biological father, and Jim, the runaway slave who befriends Huck and acts the way a real father should.Pap (Hulk's biological father) is an alcoholic who treats Huck very poorly. He beats Huck whenever he is hitting the bottle and only returned to Huck's life when he found out Huck was left a large sum of money.Jim was only in Huck's life to help him and that's is why he was a true father to Huck.
One night Jim stayed up all night watching the fire and keeping a look out. To me that is something only a "true" father would do. naps Huck and locks him in the house for several days . He floats down the Mississippi on a canoe he found. In conclusion, Jim was more of a "true" father to Huck then Pap for several reasons. When questioned about his actions he tells Huck that he felt bad waking him because he looked so peaceful. Those are all the reasons why Jim was Huck's "true father" in Twain's novel. Pap would teach Huck the morals of southern society. Jim attempted to instill in Huck good, righteous beliefs. It is there where he meets up with Jim who had just runaway from his master. That is another way in which Jim was a true father. These reasons were: (1)instilling beliefs that are right, (2)The way he treated Huck and (3)the things that he did for Huck with no personal benefit. He stops at Jackson's Island, a small island in the middle of the river. As a result of this monstrosity Huck decides to escape and fakes his death( Twain-33).
