In the novel ?The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? two young boys, Huck and Tom are very good and troublesome friends. Huck and Tom are from the south and love adventures. Huck seems to prefer to live life in an uncivilized fashion and Tom want?s to be a leader and have many adventures. Even though they both are immature children in the beginning one of the boys has changed by the end of the novel. Huck will grow from a child to a young man, from his experiences with a runaway slave named Jim and his encounters with the southern people.
In the beginning of the novel Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer have a lot of money they found on a previous novel: ?The adventures of Tom Sawyer?. Women, instead of their parents have raised both boys. Willow Douglas and Miss Watson are raising Huck because he has no mother and his father is a drunk. Tom?s Aunt Polly, who isn?t mentioned until the end of the novel, raises him. They loved being away from home and going on adventures and were even in a gang together that Tom was the leader of named ?Tom Sawyer?s Gang?. As you can see Huck and Tom act like the children they are but Huck will drift apart from being a child.
Huck?s adventures begin when Huck's father came back and kidnapped him. Huck experienced bad times with his father and manages to escape to Jackson?s island where he found the familiar runaway slave Jim. Huck spent a lot of time with Jim and he even apologized to the slave after insulting him once. Later on Huck and Jim found the Duke and Dauphin which seemed like nice people but show themselves to be bad when they separate a slave family of Wilks household and later sell Jim. They showed Huck how deceitful could be good and bad. Huck also observed how irrational the South really was with his experiences with the conflicts between the Grageford?s and the Phelp?s, and between Sheburn and the town people. This made Huckleberry wiser and smarter which played a big role on him growing up.
Huck went from boy to a young man when he wrote a letter to Miss Watson giving him up but then tore it up saying ?All right then, I?ll go to hell?. He was going to steal Jim out of slavery instead, which showed a man in him. He could have just sent that letter and save himself the trouble but decided to help his black friend, Jim. That was the turning point in Huck?s life. In the ending chapters Huck and Tom reunited and helped Jim escape.
In the end Huck's adventures brought out what Tom always wanted to be. Tom was still a child and showed it when he was glad he got shot in the leg after running away with Jim and Huck because he had a bullet as a souvenir. Huck surprised all of us when he thought that Jim is ?white inside? which wasn?t the way southern white?s thought of blacks in those days. In conclusion Huck grows up after his experiences with the southern people and his journey with Jim on the Mississippi River. In the end even though Huck matured some he is still a young man and decides to take a trip out to Indian Territory since Aunt Sally is already trying to ?sivilize? him and he?s had enough of that.
