J.D. Brewer once said “ Where would the end be? Will the idea- the definition- of perfection stay the same? No. Perfection is too fickle. It's in our nature to never be satisfied. We always think we can do more. That quote from Brewer ties into the story The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain because the topic of this essay is about how the ending of the book was flawed and the quote is about things being imperfect and people never being satisfied.

Towards the end Huck goes back to thinking Jim is just a slave and nothing else and that's why it was
