Chapter thirteen begins as Tom starts to cry as he decides he is going to leave his life behind and become a criminal. He meets up with friend Joe Harper, and he seems to be in a similar state. Joe was whipped by his mother for drinking some cream. The boys meet Huckleberry Finn and convince him to come along on their journey. Around midnight the boys meet at the riverbank and steal a raft to head out to Jackson’s island.
When he finds Jim again, he lies and tricks Jim saying that Jim was drinking and fell asleep and it was all a dream. However, when Jim sees the trash in the river, he knows Huck was lying to him.
Huck dislikes being with his father so he fakes his own death and runs off to meet Jim, who has also run away. The two go on adventures together down the Mississippi River. Huck and Jim encounter a steamship swarmed with murdering thieves and being taken in by a family which is eventually murdered. Jim then is taken away to a plantation. Huck is loyal enough to try and rescue Jim and they ride off into the sunset when Jim is freed of slavery.
Then huck again met two people one of them was a Theater person and the other was a person talking about being drunk was stupid but after he did that he got drunk. That did not put a good thing about him on him . So the townspeople did not like them and chased them out. Then they bumped into huck and got on the boat with Huck and Jim.
A couple days later, Huck finds Jim, but Jim has a hard time believing it because he’s supposed to be dead. Jim tells him that he ran away from Widow Douglas’s, which makes Huck feel guilty keeping him. They venture to a cave on the island and stay there until the storm stops. During the storm, a dead man washes up, but Jim doesn’t let Huck look at the face because he says it’s bad luck. Huck starts to get bored on the island so he decided to go into Illinois to get news of things going on.
Huck details the way he and Jim “set to majestying him, and doing this and that and t’other for him” to show the king how much they respected him (Twain 94). Also, while journeying down the river with Jim, Huck’s curiosity is shown when he describes his yearning to explore the “place right about the middle of the island” (Twain 36).Huck convinces Jim to let him explore and see what resources the island had. Tom’s character is reckless,
Following Huck’s disappearance, Jim runs away and is a wanted slave. The two meet up on an island but are driven off by men looking for the runaway slave. They begin their journey down the Mississippi river to gain their longed emancipation. Along
Eventually, the con men sell Jim back into slavery, but luckily for Huck, they sell him to his
Jim thought Huck was a ghost, since many people believe Huck passed away, but Huck reassured Jim. Huck asked Jim what he was doing on the island, and Jim said he ran away. Huck decided to bring Jim along with him on the escapade, and they came across a house. Huck put on a dress and made the preference to act like a girl, so he knocked on the door and an old woman answered. She invited Huck inside, and requested his name.
Well, Huck isn't too cool with this, so he (naturally) fakes his own death and hides out on a nearby island, where he meets another runaway: the slave Jim, who's hiding out to avoid being sold down South and separated from his family. After running across a dead body, which Huck doesn't see, they decide to team up and then start out on what just might be the first American road movie, only via the Mississippi River rather than I-90. Cue a series of wacky hijinks/ life-threatening situations, like: Huck pretending to be a girl to get some info Accidentally ending up on a wrecked steamship full of thieves Being separated after a near-drowning Huck being taken in by the wealthy Grangerfords, who are embroiled in a deathly feud with another family
During the 1950’s there were several breakthroughs that African Americans were able to succeed in accomplishing. Some of these successes consist of President Truman ordering the desegregation of the armed forces in 1948, although this process was not completed until 1954. The next breakthrough was in 1954 when the Brown vs. the Board of Education case was heard within the court system and won. They stated that the separation of black and white schools did not prove equality.
Huck lives with his father who is a drunk as well as very abusive. He really has no direction from adults he looks up to. Huck begins without having any concept of rights and wrongs. Later, Huck meets Jim who is a runaway slave
Huck runs away one day so he could be free. I don’t think I would run away because I couldn’t live by myself in an island. He had a smart brain to make it seem like the house got robbed and he got killed to run away and they wouldn’t go look for him. I wouldn’t be able to think of all that to do so they wouldn’t go look for me. Huck is brave enough to do that and to go live in the island were many things can happen to him.
As Huck escapes from society by running away he had the chance of running into Jim on Jackson Island. During this time Huck displays his moral growth after playing a trick on Jim. Huck displays his moral growth because after placing a snake skin under Jim’s blanket, which eventually causes Jim to be bitten by a snake, he
