A brief summary of "Adventures of Hucklberry Finn"
The beginning of “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” starts out with a brief overview of the book “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, both books written by Mark Twain. Each novel is based in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, Missouri. Towards the end of Tom Sawyer, Tom and Huck find a robber's stash of gold. They take it to the judge, and the judge puts it out on interest, and Tom and Huck each get a dollar a day. Soon after, Huck was adopted by Widow Douglas, who would raise Huck to be religious and “sivilized.” At first, Huck is annoyed with all the church, school, clean clothes, and manners, but he sticks through it, because Tom Sawyer told him that if he lives with the widow and is good to her, that he could be a member of his “band of robbers” that he planned on starting. Before long, the widow had to go to court to try to keep her rights as a guardian, but there was a new judge in town, who believed that Huck should live with his father “Pap”, a drunken slob who beats Huck and takes his money for whiskey. He lived with his father for quite some time, and suffered the beatings. He didn't mind it much though, because he didn't have to be clean and “sivilized.” After some time, the court tried to take Pap's rights away too. When Pap found this out, he took Huck to the middle of the woods in Illinois on the other side of the Mississippi river. There was a small cabin there where Pap and Huck lived for quite awhile. They hunted and fished for food, and Pap would occasionally go to town to get supplies, and lock Huck in the cabin while he did so. Huck eventually found a way to escape the cabin, and went to an island called “Jackson Island.” He hunted and fished for food there as well, and ran into a runaway slave named “Jim” on the island. Huck already knew Jim, because Jim used to be a slave for the widow. She promised she would never sell him, until she received a tempting offer of eight hundred dollars. When Jim heard the widow planned on selling him, he escaped to Jackson Island. The rest of the story discusses Huck and Jim's adventures together (although they do seperate from time to time) and Jim even becomes somewhat of a father figure to Huck. Jim eventually becomes a free slave when the widow died, and Huck Finn moved in with Aunt Sally, who, like the widow, will make Huck act "sivilized."
