To illustrate, “Well, I can tell you it made me all over trembly and feverish, too, to hear him, because I began to get it through my head that he was most free-and who was to blame for it? Why, me.” (Ch. 16). Significantly, this defines the moment where Huck indicates what “coming of age” is. He has grown to assess himself and resonate that the judgement of others has no relevance towards how he should fulfill his sensibilities. As expressed, “...and I do believe he cared just as much for his people as white folks does for their’n.” (Ch. 23). Huck distinguishes the idea that Jim shouldn’t be judged either. Just as anybody else, his actions had to define him. Not by the color of his skin or what society had labeled him. Even more, Jim had emotions.

The Novel: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, makes a strong presence by its continued, if not redundant display of itself.

History has proven itself again and again with the simple fact that social classes dictate how human lives are treated. The major aspects in life are directly impacted by what social class someone is in. This dictates many things including who this person affiliates himself with and what kind of quality life that person will live. This is very evident in Antebellum South. Slavery is at its peak in this time, and half the population are slaves. In the book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Huck and Jim travel down the Mississippi River, and encounter a lot of the aspects of the Antebellum South.

In Mark Twain’s novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the main character Huck tries to escape to the north with a runaway slave named Jim. While in nature, they learn how to trust each other and develop their own opinions instead of following what society believes is right. In Emerson’s short essay, “Nature”, Emerson describes nature as a place in which it provides protection from all calamities and disgraces. While in nature, he’s able to become relaxed and peaceful. In William Cullen Bryant’s poem, “Thanatopsis,” Bryant writes that although everyone will eventually die, death shouldn’t be feared, but instead embraced. While nature does bring death, it also provides care and a sanctuary, which clears our dark thoughts away. Although nature can often bring sadness, it ultimately provides a hideaway from society; therefore, people should preserve nature because we rely on it.
