In order for Huck's friend to become independent, he forms a plan to take Jim back and bring justice to his criminals. He subsequently runs into his lifelong, audacious friend, Tom Sawyer, and confronts him about his plan to steal Jim back. However, his companion is taken aback and proceeds to ask him a bunch of questions and tells him that Jim is an African American salve. Huck responds to this by saying, “I know what you’re thinking. You think that I shouldn’t be helping a runaway slave. I don’t care what you think. I plan to steal him” (pg.129). His accomplice later reveals that he too is an abolitionist looking for a superb adventure. In addition, it is at this point where Huckleberry shows true moral courage against civilization, friends, and politics.
Paragraph:
Even though Huckleberry Finn is faced with political disagreements with his friends, family, and society, he decides to help his friend seek out the justice he deserves. Mark Twain illustrates these event to show how unethical this period in our history was. He portrays the enslaved Africans Americans panic of running away and being caught, but also their dread of just staying put.
