Little Women

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn begins with the boy, Huckleberry (Huck for short), telling a story in a very conversational tone. The story is a recap of Twain’s previous novel, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, in which Huck and Tom find a robber’s treasure of 12 thousand dollars, and invest it in the bank. Tom had apparently reached out to Huck again, asking him to join Tom’s very own band of robbers. Huck, of course, agreed, and moved back in with Widow Douglas, who cares for him, and makes sure he remains clean. Huck, however, is selfish, and dislikes being “civilized.” He accepts religious and social views the widow enforces upon him, yet decides for himself if he wants to follow them, and doesn’t tell her so as to not cause any unnecessary

Huck hides out on Jackson's Island and for the first time in a while has no authoritative figure controlling him. Even when he discovers Jim, the Widow's slave, Huck doesn't consider himself "outranked." Huck has been taught that a runaway slave is an evil thing. Being able to make his own decision about the matter, however, Huck decides to go against society. "People would call me a low-down Abolitionist and despise me for keeping mum - but that don't make no difference. I ain't a-going to tell" (43). This is Huck's first sign of maturity as we find that he is able to make his own decisions.

In the prime first half of the book, the author explicates that Tom Sawyer is extremely childish and immature at numerous times throughout the inception of the novel. The readers can lucidly see this even in the first chapter, in which Tom encounters an elaborate, new boy in town and “In an instant, both boys were rolling and tumbling in the dirt, gripped together like cats. . . ” (Twain, 81). Tom also fascinates himself with unconventional things such as: “a large black beetle-pinchbug”, “dead cat”, “doorknobs”, and “a tick”. Furthermore, Tom also tends to do foolish and obviate things in attempts to achieve something and then realizes that these endeavors fail. A definite factor in the development of Tom’s mischievous nature is that his parents

“When Huck plans to head west... he is trying to avoid more than regular baths and mandatory school attendance” (Sparknotes 1). This quote summarizes the whole purpose of Huckleberry Finn’s journey throughout the novel, because even though he is only a young boy and his only concerns should be school and bathing, he has to worry about much more “adult” topics, such as helping an escaped slave and dealing with his abusive, alcoholic father. However, throughout these endeavors, he struggles with his conscience and the ideas that have been placed upon him by the people around him, while also trying to maintain his good heart. Examples of this ongoing battle in Huck’s mind include whether or not slavery is acceptable, the stark difference between the 2 gods that Miss Watson and the Widow argue about, and the seemingly pointless feud between the Grangerfords and the Shepherdsons. One may think that these thoughts would take over Huck’s personality and make him into a more hateful, prejudiced, person, but Huck remains good hearted and true to himself until the end of the book, showing that he truly does have “a deformed conscience but a good heart.”

In Mark Twain's novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the adults in Huck's life play an important role in the development of the plot. Pap, Huck's father, constantly abuses the boy, never allowing him to become an intelligent or decent human being. He beats and attacks Huck whenever they meet up, and tries to destroy Huck's chances of having a normal life. This situation is balanced by several good role models and parent figures for Huck. Jim, the runaway slave, embraces Huck like a son, and shares his wide ranging knowledge with him. He also protects Huck on the journey down the river. Widow Douglas is another good role model for Huck. She tries to civilize him and make him respectable to society,

Throughout The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Huck’s morality changes and shifts, growing into thoughts that are separate from those of society. At the start of the novel, he shares similar ideas with the others of the society he lives in, but as the book goes on, Huck comes to realize that what society thinks is right isn’t always right. He learns that sometimes, what society thinks is the opposite of what’s morally right in his eyes. One of the most important moments in which Huck’s views change is when he is writing to Miss Watson, the woman he lives with in the beginning of the novel.

In the novel, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, Mark Twain writes about Huck and the adventures his faces as he travels down the Mississippi River, along with his companion Jim. Throughout the story, Huck experiences obstacles that make him question society’s perspective and morals. As Huck spends more and more time with Jim, their friendship grow and Huck begins to see Jim as more than just a companion but a close friend. This causes Huck to challenge the morality behind slavery and ultimately decides to guide Jim to freedom. At this point in time, Huck has had an realization and decides to make his own path with his own beliefs and standards separating himself from society.

He can see that the King and the Duke treat others unfairly. As he puts it at first,”It didn't take me long to make up my mind that these liars...[were] just low-down humbugs and frauds....If I never learned nothing else out of pap, I learnt that the best way to get along with his kind of people is to let them have their own way.”( 100) However, Huck comes to realize the wrongs they do to society. The particular incident where this occurs is when they take advantage of orphaned girls. Huck decides to tell Mary Jane what liars they are, stating “...here's a case where I'm blest if it don't look to me like the truth is better and actually safer than a lie." (132) Huck clearly views the girls as equal to him, knowing that it is the morally right thing to help a white family. This is Twain’s irony appearing in the book again, as Huck can see all the wrongs in society, except the big one of slavery. He truly believes that helping a white family is meritable, while helping a black slave will send him to

In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain the character Huckleberry Finn shows neglect, the parents in town despise him, and all the children admire him. Huck Finn shows neglect by the way he physically looks. The clothes that he wears are the clothes of a grown man, as a result they are baggy and torn from being over-worn.

We establish skills and lifelong habits that we may not have been cognizant of during the previous years of living. Everyone looks forward to a point in their lives where they can look back and see how much they have matured and even think about all of the immature decisions that they have made in the past. In the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, a 13 year old

She took me as her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time.... so when I couldn't stand it no longer, I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again and I was free and satisfied" (1). Huckleberry often rejected the women's regulations, for he found them superfluous.

In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the author Harper Lee, portrays the theme of how being emotionally involved, can blind someone from the reality of the situation. This theme is supported throughout the Tom Robinson trial and when Judge Taylor says, “People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for” (Lee 98). Judge Taylor is saying that no matter what the reality of a situation is, people are always going to be biased and see it in their own perspectives. Just like in Maycomb, people will always rely and consider others

The environment that a person places themselves in greatly influences their personality and character. Huckleberry Finn, the main protagonist in Mark Twain’s work, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, clearly develops as a product of his surroundings. Two characters that indirectly play a crucial part in the development of Huckleberry Finn are the duke and the king whose fundamental objective in the novel is to help mature Huck into a respectable man. The role of the king and the duke is to indirectly establish moral guidelines into Huckleberry through their gimmicky shows, and the relentless control of Jim. They also demand the utmost respect of royalty from Huck too.

The river’s freezing waters looked like the best place to be at the moment. Harry’s thoughts were not of a sober man. He didn’t even remember how he came to this very spot on this very bridge. That didn’t matter anyway. What mattered is what he was so tempted to do, but he couldn’t. He couldn’t leave his mother or his sister, Gemma. That’s exactly what the blue-eyed stranger must’ve thought, except he didn’t know about his mother or his sister, yet. So the blue-eyed stranger led him away from his spot on the bridge and towards an empty cab. For what reason, Harry had no clue.
