THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN

PROJECT #2

HUCK FINN

Huck is kidnapped by his drunken father named Pap. Pap kidnaps Huck because he wants Huck's $6000. Huck was awarded $6000 from the treasure he and Tom Sawyer found in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. This is something that would scar me but Huck is very strong.

In chapter 19, When Huck and Jim are floating Down the river they approach two men who beg to get on the raft. They come to realize that these men are professional con artist, but doesn't call them out on it. This is an example how lying and keeping things to himself is most convenient.

Huck hears that Jim has been taken and sold, but he begins to question whether or not he should be helping a slave escape (Jim), but he soon decides that he is gonna help his friend, even if he "goes to hell". This is a great moral to have since Huck doesn't have much of a family he needs his friends and needs Jim to survive.

After creating an eloborate plan, Tom and Huck free Jim, only to hear Tom say that Jim was free all along.
They should done research and scooped the place first.

Huck learns that there are people out to look for Jim on Jackson's Island, so Huck and Jim quickly leave.
They need to be carful with who is after them or they could end up dead.

After getting seperated, Huck stays with the Grangerfords for a few days, where he witnesses family rivalry and a death of his new found friend, Buck.
Family rivalries can get very mean and he needs to know when to pack up and leave when things get heated.
