In the beginning, Tom and Huck found money that robbers had hidden in a cave - enough to spilt six-thousand between them. Judge Thatcher took the money and put it out as interest so they only could get a dollar a day. Widow Douglas took Huck in as her son. Then out of the blue, Huck’s dad, Pap turned up. Huck was forced to go live with is dad because Mrs. Douglas did not want Pap hanging around. Huck sees a canoe drifting in the river, hides it in the woods and plans his escape. Some might say that Huck is a liar, but his use of deceit has a purpose - to survive. While there are many serious moments, it is Huck’s immaturity that brings adventure to the story. Thrilling, adventurous, and exciting, all rolled into one - presented by Mark

I reckon I shook like a leaf, and I didn’t know hardly what to do. But I said; “please don’t poke fun at a girl like me, …show more content…
