Freedom in Huck Finn was when Huck’s father (Pap) took Huck away in a cave and he had to stay there, while his father was out drinking. When his father came back he would be drunk and just mean, one day Huck escaped and didn’t take anything with him. He ran into the woods, he felt free from people controlling him, he could’ve went to the widow but he didn’t like it there either. Huck was a very smart boy, he knew what he wanted to do with his life he just needed to get away from the past and people who bring him down. Freedom means the world to Huck, he gets to pretty much whatever he wants without getting cussed at or corrected.
Freedom is also important because Jim wanted to get away from slavery, so he ran away. Jim and Huck became friends. When they met in the woods, of course they only knew each other when Huck was living with the Widow. Jim a nice person he never would betray Huck, he also was father, which Huck didn’t know black people cared that much about their kids. Jim run away because he heard Miss Watson talking about selling him and he didn’t like who his new owner would be. Freedom was his only way out, he doesn’t have to listen to nobody now. Freedom helped him by going out seeing the world and he had a friend with him.

Huck couldn’t just leave a friend behind though, he stayed loyal and worked hard to get his friend
