Huck Finn2
In the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain shows how Huck evolves in every adventure and how he is growing in every aspect of his life. It is easy to forget that Huck is only a twelve-year old boy, when we see him out smart grown men. The most significant part of the whole novel is the decision that Huck has to make about Jim. Huck would never turn his back on Jim now because he is his only family. Huck also grows up in the sense that he loses his innocence: He begins to understand the hypocrisy of society. He sees the Grangerfords killed by the Shephardsons, and he sees the Duke and the King manipulate the townspeople out of their money. He starts realizing he can converse with the opposite sex and that he can tell the truth. Even though Huck is un-educated, he learns and understands many things about people and himself. Huck goes through many trails that initiate him into the adult world. Huck takes on the role of a "rebel" and goes against Paps authority.Huck starts getting tired of Paps authority Pap has not been a "father figure" and Huck does not really know what it is like to feel loved. Huck acts mature in the sense that he can take care of himself, but deep-down inside he is scared and ye
Southern society has taught Huck that slaves are savage creatures with no feelings, only pieces of property to be bought and sold. At the beginning of the novel, Huck buys into this philosophy without a question. He cannot believe he is helping a black man escape to freedom. Huck soon becomes good friends with Jim and is amazed at how much he cares for him. Jim's feelings get hurt when Huck plays a trick on him. Huck shows another sign of maturity by not shying away from girls He begins to make decisions for himself. He starts living his life the way he wants to live it and not the way society expects him to live it. He also develops a way to see how people think. This is an intuitional plan that Huck develops every time he gets himself into trouble. An example of this is when he out-smarted two slave hunters who were combing the area for runaway slaves. They saw a raft on the river and they asked Huck, if anyone was on the raft. Huck implied that it was his father and the two slave hunters told Huck that he probably has small pox. The two men are so naive and scared of getting the disease that they give Huck money and told him to get help for his father farther down the river. Huck's intuitional plan became reality again because all he did was imply, but the two slave hunters told Huck that his father had small pox. One of the remarkable things about Huck is that he evolves in every adventure and that he pretends to be less intelligent and capable than he really is. Along his adventure, Huck starts getting smarter and more cunning The Duke and the King are con artist that try to fool Huck and Jim
