When he had got it pretty good him and the duke begun to practice it together. The duke had to learn him over and over again how to say every speech…(Twain134)”. The duke tirelessly worked on his lines, so he could preform this play. Tom and Huck also worked tirelessly to try and make freeing Jim as memorable as possible. Their drive was to be remembered, and do things by the book, “ Making the pens was a distressed tough job, and so was the saw, and Jim allowed the inscription was going to be the toughest of all.

Tom wanted to be legendary, and nothing was going to stop him from achieving that
