In the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain there are different kinds of freedom. Jim is searching for freedom from slavery. Huck is searching for freedom from society. The link between the two is the symbol of freedom that is the river.
Jim is a runaway slave belonging to Miss Watson. He originally sets out alone; however, he meets Huck, and they become the best of friends. Jim says to Huck, "Huck I-I run off" (50). Prior to this statement Jim tells Huck a lie. This is the start of their friendship. Jim believes that he "couldn't even ben free ef it hadn't ben for Huck" (93). This shows how Jim relates Huck to his freedom and how important they both are.
