When Huck returns to his room that night, he finds Pap waiting for him. Jim also says that, just like Pap Finn, Huck has two angels over him, trying to help him decide the right path. Jim says that there are two angels hovering over Pap - one white and one black - and he does not know which way Pap will decide to live his life. When Huck asks Jim about Pap's plans, Jim places a hairball on the ground and listens for Huck's fortune. To protect the reward money from Pap, Huck goes to see Judge Thatcher and tries to persuade Judge Thatcher to take the money for his own.īecause Jim is rumored to have the ability to do magic, Huck asks him if he can predict what Pap will do and where he will stay. Because of a cross carved in the heel, the print looks exactly like Pap Finn's boot, and Huck begins to worry that Pap has returned. I would recommend this book to children over 10, about 13, who have already read 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' as it will introduce them to the characters in a much more vivid way.Three or four months have passed when Huck finds a suspicious footprint in the snow outside of the widow's house.
It was funny, but also quite sad at the same time, when 2 men are introduced, one who claims to be the duke of Bridgewater, and one who claims to be the son of Louis 16th. I couldn't stop crying when Huck had lost Jim, and I couldn't see how he would ever come back to Tom Sawyer. The book plays a game of coincidence, like in Oliver Twist, where Oliver meets with his father's friend, and meets his Aunts, as Huckleberry Finn meets with Tom Sawyer, his long-lost friend, on Phelps's plantation, trying to free Jim, a black man, from the prison.Īt the beginning of the book, I didn't like it much until Huck went to the circus, when I couldn't stop laughing at the vivid description, making it seem as if I was there next to Huck, looking at the drunkard revealing himself as one of the circus clowns. Like Charles Dickens, who makes the rich pay attention to the poor, Mark Twain explains what the bad things of slavery are to the white, and mocks the life of the rich, saying how it can be reformed by the homeless like Huck. I think that 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' is a good book, it follows 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and introduces American language to European readers. I would review 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' as a 5-star book because it has an anti-slavery message, an amusing plot, and it is very moving.
