“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”
Author: Mark Twain

Huck and Tom are now the richest young boys in their small town of the Mississippi. The young Huck loves living his new mother Widow Douglas. Huck and Tom meet each other in front of the church.
“Hey Huck” Tom says, “How does it feel to be rich and live with the wealthiest person in St. Pertersburg?”
“It’s the best feeling in the world” Huck continues,
“If only we can build some kind of union or try being runaway pirates again”
Tom replies with sorrow,
“No Huck, never again”
Sad enough Huck and Tom won’t have any more crazy adventures, getting in anyone’s business or trying to be that town hero.

It’s been about 5 years now. Becky and Tom are happily engaged, Huck is studying science life and trying to go further into plants and animals. Tom and Huck meet for their annual dinner night.
“Tommy!” Huck says,
“How are you and Mrs. Soon to be Sawyer?”
Tom replies,
“Haha good one, we are great Huck we got wedding plans to get married on the Mississippi!”
Huck in shock says
“That’s great Tom, but theres another reason why I wanted you hear.”
“What is it?” Tom in wonder asks,
“Don’t tell me is it about what cold of been because I don’t want to remember Huck.”
“Tommy; remember Injun Joe…. He never died.”
“Are you serious Huck!? How do you know?”
Huck in despair says “He wants me to get his treasure back and the only way to do that is… Is….”
“Is what Huck”
Those were Tom Sawyer’s last words. Huckleberry Finn pulled out a pistol and shot Tom between the eyebrows and ran to Tom’s house to receive the treasure.
Huck finds Injun Joe and gives him the treasure at the graveyard.
In tears Huck gives Injun the treasure.
Injun replies “Huck, you’re a great companion now. Welcome to our brotherhood.”
“But why Tommy?” said Huck
Injun says with a laugh,
“It wasn’t just Tom, Huck there’s someone else.”
Huck balling with tears like a wnaterfall
“O dear lord who now?”
Injun replies in a

    One time, Pap locked Huck in the cabin and “was gone three days” (35). It is evident Pap Finn does not care about Huck’s well-being; when Pap could be spending time with his son, he is always too busy drinking or trying to get the money from Judge Thatcher. Unlike Pap, who willingly ignores his son for days at a time, Jim tries to stay near Huck at all times and worries when they become separated. When Huck and Jim reunite on the river, Jim says to Huck, “Goodness gracious, is dat you, Huck? En you ain’ dead…it’s too good to be true” (94). Jim’s reaction is so important because it shows that Jim cares about Huck more than anyone else, especially Pap. If Huck had been raised by a father who cared about him, Jim’s reaction and the friendship that Huck developed with Jim would be less meaningful. By creating such a strong contrast between Pap and Jim’s opinion of Huckleberry, Mark Twain is able to create a stronger bond between Huck and Jim than he could without the neglectful behavior of…

    Huck Finn next goes to the grangerfords ranch, where there are definitely lots of problems. One is a vendetta between the two only neighbors you learn about in the area (the grangerfords and the shepardsons) and the other is the grangerfords insisting upon Huck coming to church with them, he probably would slip away, except they all have guns and he doesn’t think it’d be that smart. And then he sees one of the grangerford boys and his cousin killed right in front of his eyes and decides that the world and its many people is strange and untrustworthy. He seems, for a 14- 15 year old boy, to be very in tune to how everything works and how people could “screw” him over. He knows very well the ways of a con artist and how not to get caught which, in a society where you need to occasionally fend for yourself, he always…

    Huck at that time lived with the widow but he didn’t like it so he ran away. The author stated “But tom sawyer, he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable”(pg.3). I think that Mark Twain is saying that when we were kids we were silly. The author says “Now says Ben Rogers, what’s the line of business of this gang? Nothing only robbery and murder, Tom said”(pg.11). Mark Twain is trying to tell us that when we were kids we were stupid and had a big imagination. This is a bemused type of satire because it is funny how the kids…

    Jim then warns Huck not to look at the man's face, which allows Huck to have the motivation to continue his adventure thinking that his father is not dead. Jim continues to stay with Huck and provide him with moral support on the river, serving to develop Huck’s moral development along the way. An example of this moral support is where in Chapter 16, Huck makes up a story to preserve Jim's freedom and then Jim remarks he will never forget Huck's kindness. Huck later experiences a coming of age when he is faced with the ultimate moral dilemma of reporting Jim at the Phelps Farm to Miss Watson. Feeling conflicted about stealing “property” from Miss Watson, he writes a letter which he then crumples up after fully understanding that his letter would harm Jim, who he then realizes is a human being. This incident evokes feelings of regret in Huck, and shows that Huck is the one good person in the novel.…
