Huck Finn

I had a very difficult time reading the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. It did not really catch my attention and when Jim would speak it was very hard to understand. I want to focus on how this book shows independence but at the same time it showed respect and responsibility. Since Huck grew up in a bad family environment, which is more likely seen in America today he was forced to live on his own at a very young age. He was very Independent and did not rely on anybody except himself. When Jim and Huck ran away he had to learn to work together with Jim so that there escape was a success. Huck learned a lot from Jim and I think towards the end of the book he looked upon him more as a father figure then a runaway slave. Jim had good intentions especially when he came out to save Tom and ended up getting caught for it. They had to have respect for each other and take on certain responsibilities to be able to be successful. Being selfish is something we see in America quiet often. People in today's time only care about whats good for themselves and not the good of the community. Littering, pollution, poverty is all acts of selfishness. In the book when King told of Jim's location for forty dollars was very selfish. Today's possibilities were also seen in the book. If you put your mind to it and are willing enough to go through with it you can do anything! Even though it would be pretty easy for Huck and Tom to break Jim out Tom being an adventurous boy wants to make everything difficult. He wants to make everything look very difficult and complicated. He even stated that he wanted to saw off Jim's leg, dig a moat, and make a ladder out of sheets ( Twain). Instead of using tools that they have available they decide to use case-knives. Tom is more driven to do complicated things due to the books he reads and what the prisoners in the books do.
