Mark Twain's The Adventures Of Huck Finn

uck Finn is praised as one of the best American literary works. The novel tells the story of Huck and his adventure with a runaway slave named Jim. Although the book itself is considered amazing, the ending wasn’t appropriate. For instance, Huck and Jim travel down deep in the South; they never wind up north where Jim could potentially be free. Everything concludes for Huck’s adventure, but fails to wrap up for Jim, and Huck regresses to his previous self. Huck and Jim end up deep down south rather than up north.

Huck and Tom were trying to free Jim when he was found on another family’s property, locked in a cabin; both had different ideas to set him free. Huck’s plan was simple, but he shut it down replying, “[Tom] told me [his plan], and I see in a minute it was worth fifteen of mine for style, and would make Jim just as free a man as mine would” (Twain 176).
