After only a day together, Jim has gained enough trust in Huck to tell him his secret and felt enough affection for him to attempt to protect his young friend. His willingness to assert himself to Huck is another sign of his level of comfort around the boy, doubtless garnered through his previous acquaintance with him. They are at the very least equals in Jim’s eyes, and probably in Huck’s eyes as well. In the next episode, we see that although Huck is beginning to respect Jim, he is still…

At the age of 8, my core family consisted of my mom, dad, and little brother. My mom had recently changed her hair color to blonde, which I found odd at first. Mom was usually nice, but at that age I found her to be naggy. My dad was rapidly losing weight, thanks to a special surgery he got. I remember thinking my dad wouldn 't be the same after the surgery and it was a bad thing. Looking back I was clearly mistaken. My brother is very large for a little brother, mostly at the waist. We usually…

would separately. Huck for example lets Tom have control of plans they make, since it’s the one thing he loves to do. In the article it states, “Tom 's scheme for setting Jim free is the conventional literary medievalism of his time,and when Huck introduces his more efficient and simple ideas for getting Jim out, Tom accuses him of not wanting to do things "regular." Although Huck is occasionally out of patience with Tom, the worst he has to say is that Tom is "full of principle." He accepts the…

Will Huck ever admit his friendships with Tom, Jim, Pap, or his old life with Miss Watson and the Widow? As I progressed through the book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, I saw that Huck’s relations do not stay the same.

Instead of reporting him to the police, Mrs Jones takes him home, cares for him and gives him the money he wanted to steal: teaching the reader that punishment is not always the best solution to a…

They both hold high regards for said characters and are disappointed when they realize that in the end, Kane and Gatsby alike are capable of human error. They are not only important to their story’s main characters,…
