Huck Finn The Most Surprising Ending Analysis

The very stuffy Miss Watson walked over to Huck Finn. He was sitting on the front porch wasting the day away with a pipe in hand. “Get off that filthy pipe.”

One of the main aspects of Huck we continue to point out is his cleverness. However, if you look at chapter 26 Huck is now finding himself in holes that he has created. Before this bad experience Huck was very good with created backstories. However, the main difference between the lie with Joe and the other times is that Huck Finn usually allowed the listener to fill the gaps within his story. In chapter 11 Huck talks with an old woman and she starts to question his story. However, instead of panicking Huck waited for the old woman to fill the cracks in his story by letting her conclude that Huck is a runaway apprentice. Later in chapter 16 Huck is talking to two men about who else is on his raft. Huck gives very few details until the men conclude

When thinking of freedom, I imagine being independent and being allowed to do as I please. Also, freedom to me means that people can’t control me and take away my power that I have been given. I think that freedom means something else to everyone because we all have a different idea of what we should be allowed to do/ say and what is rightfully given to us. This probably changes as we get older, more mature, and experience new things in life that alters our ideology of freedom. To Huck, freedom most likely means that he gets to leave his house whenever he wants, doesn't have to listen to the widow or her sister, gets to smoke, and do whatever he pleases. He most likely thinks that people should let him do as he pleases because it is his given right and although this is not true, but he doesn’t know this so everytime someone doesn’t let him go off on his own and do whatever he wants, he thinks that life is unfair and people are trying to bring him

R​The book starts off with Huck Finn telling what happened after the events in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Huck Finn is now living with the Widow Douglas. Huck Finn describes how he feels lonesome and wants to go somewhere. After some time Huck Finn hears a “me-yow” noise and sneaks out of the house to see Tom Sawyer standing in there. The chapter then ends.

Beyond a shadow of doubt, there are a lot of things I learned in both these books. Their story lines are amazing and they left me powerful messages that are useful in life. Moreover, though these books were written in different settings, Huck Finn which was written when slavery was still legal and Long Walk to Freedom, which was written secretly in prison, they send identical memos about challenges and how wrong is can be. Also that, it can lead to fatalities and terrible endings. As well as, nobody was born racism, kids are taught it, therefore racism is cruel. Lastly, listening to our hearts can sometimes be important because it is the only way for us to live according to the natural moral circle.

Mark Twain had included the last ten chapters of Huckleberry Finn for his own purpose of showing the reader how all the events in the first half of the book are a lot different from the end. Though there are people out there that criticize Twain’s reasons for doing these, taking a closer look at the book and how closely it connects to the end will open an audience’s mind in understanding that Twain added these “extra” chapters to connect Huck to the original character of the series Tom and how major differences in their morals have changed as well as showing how far Huck and Jim would go to help one another.

     After reading your famous novel, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” I don’t feel that the ending you have created is suitable for the book. Throughout the entire novel, Huck is going to all extremes to help out a friend in need, Jim. As a slave, Jim is grateful for having such an honest and open friend like Huck, but it seems as if when he finds out he was free all along, things change. When Jim and Huck found themselves at the end of their journey, neither had anything left to run from because Huck’s dad was dead and Jim found out that Mrs. Watson freed him when she passed away a few months ago and hoped he would soon be with his family. Because of this ending of your choice, we never

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is referred to as “the great American novel” by many. The story covers a multitude of personal and societal issues of the nineteenth century. From slavery, to religion, to right vs wrong, it’s very evident why the story was regarded as very controversial and even considered propaganda by opposers of the novel. And the world saw it all the the eyes of a young, southern boy, with an ever changing moral compass. One of the many turning points for Huck and his transformation comes very subtly during the Grangerford and Shepherdson conflict.

The book introduces Huck as the first person narrator which is important because it establishes clearly that this book is written from the point of view of a young, less than civilized character. His character emerges as a very literal and logical thinker who only believes what he can see with his own eyes. In this section Huck’s life with the Widow Douglas and her attempts to raise him as a civilized child sets up the main theme of this book which is the struggle or quest for freedom. Huck’s struggle for freedom from civilized society is paralleled by Jim’s struggle to escape from slavery. Irony as a key literary

A difficult moral situation is presented to Huck that has no option which completely satisfies his conscience after he discovers the Phelps farm purchased Jim. Huck is afraid of the social repercussions he might face for his previous actions with Jim if he notifies Ms. Watson about Jim’s location. On the other hand, Huck has pity for Jim if he were to be detached from Huck. Huck disregards the social consequences he may face and attempts to reunite with Jim anyway. His decision goes against the way he was nurtured as a boy, showing an ability to think individually even if his opinion is unpopular. Huck’s decision to help Jim is courageous because it opposes the racially discriminatory qualities and unethical morals Huck developed as a

A man calls off the dogs, saving Huck, who introduces himself as “George Jackson.” The man invites “George” into his house, where the hosts express an odd suspicion that Huck is a member of a family called the Shepherdsons. Eventually, Huck’s hosts decide that he is not a Shepherdson. The lady of the house tells Buck, a boy about Huck’s age, to get Huck some dry clothes. Buck says he would have killed a Shepherdson had there been any Shepherdsons present. Buck tells Huck a riddle, but Huck does not understand the concept of riddles. Buck says Huck must stay with him and they will have great fun. Huck, meanwhile, invents an elaborate story to explain how he was orphaned. Buck’s family, the Grangerfords, offer to let Huck stay with them for as

In this passage, Mark Twain explains each of the characters’ personalities through the description of the way they act. The passage also sets the mood, allowing the reader to imagine everything and everyone. In the passage, the reader learns that Huck Finn is a stubborn, yet clever and thoughtful kid who does not want to be civilized, but wants to be independent.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.” In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Huck grows as a character in significant ways through the experiences he has had in the book. He makes moral choices and his views on the world around him change over the course of his story. A major aspect to this is how he views Jim and his relationship with Jim changes, which affects many choices Huck makes throughout the book. The internal conflicts and realizations that help Huck grow subsequently change his views and help him become a more moral person.

Near towards the end of the novel, Jim was wanted for the Phelps family because he was a runaway slave who is claimed by the kind and Duke. As good friends, Huck pretends to be Tom as he visits his aunt and uncle that has kept Jim trapped in a shed. Tom also pretended to be Huck’s younger brother Sid as he is alongside Huck. “[He] sees in a minute it was worth fifteen of mine for style, and would make Jim just as free a man as mine would” (345). This is evident because they wanted to save Jim and run to freedom. I feel that it’s risky to attempt it despite that the Phelps family can be very dangerous. As good friends, Huck and Tom are still willing to save Jim, even if it cost their lives.

The novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has stirred up much controversy over such topics as racism, prejudice and gender indifference, but the brunt of the criticism has surrounded itself around the ending, most notably with the re-entry of Tom Sawyer. Some people viewed the ending as a bitter disappointment, as shared by people such as Leo Marx. The ending can also be viewed with success, as argued by such people as Lionel Trilling, T.S. Eliot, V. S. Pritchett and James M. Cox in their essays and reviews. I argue that the ending of the novel proves successful in justifying the innocence of childhood through such themes as satire and frivolous behaviour.
