Huck is perplexed at this moment when Tom Sawyer, the guy he admires and respects, is about to tarnish his reputation and his family for a slave.

Huck tells Tom that he is helping Jim escape and that he is going to steal him back from the Phelp’s. Huck thinks Tom will say that what he is doing is low down and dirty, but he is wrong. With Huck and Tom being best friends Tom says “I’ll help you steal him” (180). Huck thinks Tom is joking but Tom goes on and says that he is not joking. With Tom boarding with Huck, Tom shows how much he cares about Huck by helping him do wrong and help a run-away slave escape. This also shows that sometimes friendship is more important than doing the right thing because if Tom tells on Huck, Tom might have lost his

After encounters with bandits and slave catchers, they save two con-artists that claim to be European royalty. With them at their side, they scam every city they come across, when trying to steal an inheritance that gets thwarted by Huck feeling guilt. In retaliation, the two sell Jim to a farmer, and Huck fixes on getting him out. In the luckiest of all coincidences, he was sold to Tom Sawyer’s aunt and uncle.

Mark Twain once wrote in his journal, “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.” Twain famously constructs life lessons in his work. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, creates a story that embodies Twain’s ideas on social patterns. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn consist of three central concepts based from education, civilized society, and morality that continue to relate today. Twain demonstrates how the absence of these three lessons affects individuals as well as the southern states of America as a whole.

The novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been a hot topic of debate among scholars and educators for a long time. Huck Finn continues to teach students important lessons and values, so it is imperative that students keep reading it for a long time to come. Many critics believe that the novel should be removed from the high school curriculum in consideration of its use of the “n-word” and some of the character elements. However, the novel is a great tool for talking about racism, character evaluation, and should continue to be taught to high school students.

“When words lose their meaning, people lose their freedom.” These wise words are said to be quoted from Confucius, a great philosopher and teacher from thousands of years ago. It seems that this man had predicted the future of our society. Our society has become a place where words lose their meaning due to sensitivity that a word may cause. We try so hard to ensure that someone isn't offended, and by doing so we lose the meaning of words. While I agree that there is some need for political correctness in our society, I believe that efforts have been taken to the extreme, causing many words to lose their meaning, and people to lose their freedom of expression.

Tom goes to school and church; he is book smart. Tom references books for guidance and for justification of his actions, especially in setting up Tom Sawyer’s Gang; “Everyone said it was a real beautiful oath, and asked Tom if he got it out of his own head. He said some of it, but the rest was out of pirate-books and robber-books, and every gang that was high-toned had it” (6). Tom models his gang and his life after the books he reads. His education gives him a perspective that others do not have. While Huck is not educated in the way Tom is, Huck is still intelligent.
