Pat’s Reviews > The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn > Status Update

After adventures together like finding a boat of robbers and getting away, Huck and Jim want to go to Cairo, a place for Jim to escape for freedom. However they pass Cairo due to heavy fog. While on they're raft a steamboat runs over their raft. They had to jump off, doing so got them separated.

One night, Huck finds his drunken Pap in his room. He threatens him in order to get money for liquor. Being scared he escapes from Douglass house, canoeing to Jackson's island. He happens to find Jim, a runaway slave that Widow Douglas might've sold off. Since they recognize each other, the story will begin to center around their relationship.

The main character Huck Finn inherits a large sum of money with his friend Tom Sawyer, due to previous events from the book "Adv. of Tom Sawyer". Huck is under current watch of Widow Douglas, who teaches Huck to be civil. One night Huck sneaks out to meet with Tom and his gang of "robbers" who seem to steal for fun. Huck doesn't like the robberies since it's just kids stealing small things like books.

I chose this book because I didn't know which author to pick from the given options. After reading "Calaveras County" in class, it was unique for me to see unorthodox words. After 5 pages of "Huck Finn", I'm enjoying the simple plot combined with the personal thoughts of Finn and antics of his close friend Tom Sawyer.
