Mark Twain juxtaposes Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer to show us how unmistakably different these two young boys are. The plan to break Jim out of the Phelps’ plantation displays the contrasting personalities of both boys.
Twain makes it abundantly clear that Huckleberry Finn is incredibly street smart, illustrated by his ability to devise an easy plan to free Jim, and Tom Sawyer is very book smart, characterized by his extensive literary knowledge.
