huck finn
Huck, the protagonist in this novel, is generally a good guy throughout the book. He has many good traits. He is very literal minded, making him a good narrator. He is very free spirited and he does what he wants, when he wants. He is also able to adapt to his living conditions. He first lives in a nice house, then a small cabin, then the raft. Huck is also compassionate, he helps free Jim, and feels sorry for the crooks on the Walter Scott, and the duke and the king when they get tarred and feathered. A big debate surrounds Huck on whether he changes or not throughout the novel. Huck, in the beginning, seems very set in the south's anti-black ways, although, Huck states that he will go to hell to keep Jim out of slavery. At this point it seems like he does change, however, at the end of the book, Huck plays yet another practical joke on Jim, and seems as though any change was temporary.A conflict in this novel would be the return of Huck's Pa. Huck sees footprints in the snow that he recognizes as his Pa's. Huck realizes that Pa has returned to claim his money, and so he quickly runs to Judge Thatcher and "sells" his share of the money for a "consideration" of a dollar. Pa catches Huck and makes him hand over the dollar
He proceeds to lock Huck up in his cabin on the outskirts of town. Another conflict, unfortunately for Jim and Huck, during the fog they passed Cairo, and they lost their raft, and as they float down the river a steamboat smashes the boat and Jim and Huck get separated. , and threatens to beat Huck if he ever goes to school again. I felt that his treatment was morally wrong. His characters talk as people of that time period did, using slang, and non-proper EnglishWhen The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn begins, the main character, Huck Finn, possessed a large amount money. Most everyone else thought of Jim and Blacks as something less than human. Huck's drunk father (Pa), who had previously left him, was also not pleased with Huck's lifestyle. Huck has an internal conflict on whether he should turn in Jim or not. If I could change any thing in the book I would change the way Jim is treated. They travel down the river and Jim starts talking about what he is going to do once he gets free, and this upsets Huck, because it sickens him to be called an abolitionist, and to go against society, so Huck grabs the canoe and starts to go to shore to tell someone about Jim. Throughout the book, we see Huck interacting with Jim as human to human, while everyone else treats him just as a piece of property. Huck finds two slave catchers, but he then has a change of mind, and decides not to tell the men about Jim. Huck says that he enjoys the life at first, but he soon decides to escape after Pa starts to frequently beat him.
