The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn By William Twain

In the next few chapters of Huckleberry Finn, Twain introduces a new side of the King and the Duke that you hadn’t seen before. When they arrive in a small town on the river, they go aboard a ferryboat that is heading to Orleans. They hear a young boy talking about two men that were supposed to come aboard to head to their brother’s funeral, and that they would be getting a large inheritance from the brother. So like all greedy men, the king and the duke decide to pretend to be the two uncles and head to the house of their â€Å"brother† with Huck. I think twain uses the King and the Duke to show how another part of society is influencing Huck’s moral struggles. Since Huck met the king and duke, they’ve pretended to be people that they weren’t, and Huck allowed them to do so. Then, when they decide to pretend to be the uncles of a dead stranger, Huck allows them to go through with that action as well, and it almost costs all of them. I think that Twain is trying to show how there are several different kinds of people in society, and I think he has created different characters for practically all those types of people. I think the King and the Duke represent parts of the world that think that they can do whatever they want and be whoever they want and that it won’t come with consequences. They think they are really smart and creative for pretending to be brothers of a wealthy man, but they didn’t think of the dangers of playing those roles.

Twain isn’t just a classical writer because The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn By William Twain I. Setting a. b. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn begins in Huck’s hometown of St. Petersburg, Missouri. Originally, Huck lives in a clean estate with prim and proper Widow Douglas and Miss Watson who attempt to â€Å"sivilize† him. His drunken money-seeking father then abducts him and takes him to a dirty, isolated cabin across the Mississippi River. Huck escapes and floats down the river in an abandoned canoe to Jackson’s Island, lying in the middle of the Mississippi. Here, Huck finds runaway Jim. The peaceful, providing island tempts Huck and Jim to stay, but fearing that someone saw smoke from their fire, they float down the river on a raft. They intended to stop at Cairo and continue in a steamboat to the free states, but the†¦show more content†¦On the peaceful Jackson Island, he learns to relax and let time stand still. And while floating the river with Jim he becomes as untroubled as the steady Mississippi. The setting also affects both Huck and Jim’s feelings about slavery. When he first agrees to help Jim, he has only a few concerns about the legality and morality of his decision, but as they float further and further south, Huck has more and more concerns about getting caught, plausibly caused by the escalating racial tension in the south. Jim is originally very concerned about being sold south because he knows he will be treated poorly and separated from his family. As they near what they think is Cairo, Jim becomes confident and tells Huck about what he would do once he is free (248). This worries Huck so much that he decides to turn Jim in, but eventually changes his mind. Floating further down the river causes Jim more and more anxiety as they are heading deeper and deeper into the south he so dreaded. II. Point of View a. b. The point of view of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is first person. Huck narrates the book, so his perspective on two main issues, race and civility, help to enrich the story with his perspective. Like many in America in the early 19th century, the south specifically, Huck was raised in the midst of people who didn’t give the morality of slavery a second thought, as it was deeply installed in American society. So The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn By William Twain 1. Twain must have thought Huck carried on his ideas best, and Huck is character that is quite dynamic throughout the story because everyone heavily influences him until he decides to take control of his own life. 2. The first act would be like an introduction to Huck’s life and how he lives with the widow because of his rough life. The next act would be his escape with Jim and starting his path up the river like his call to action. Huck’s â€Å"I’ll go to hell moment,† should be act three because that is the moment the audience sees him no longer on the fence about everything. The fourth act would be the plan to help Jim escape because freedom is so close yet so far. Obviously the last act will involve catching up with the characters and providing closure for most. 3. The first one would be Huck abusive father because he seems to be the only one who can truly hold back. Jim is running away from slavery and needs to get his family back too. The Wilks sisters need to find their voice and independence. Huck also needs to find himself and not bend to others will. The main ones are solved. Huck’s father dies. Jim finds his freedom. The Wilks sisters stop the king and the dauphin. Huck presumably figures part of his life out and then the book is left in the open. The bigger scale problems of society approving of slavery is defiantly not resolved nor in the present day. Human trafficking exists. Tom Sawyer’s stupidity is also incurable. 4.Each setting within itself brought a newShow MoreRelatedThe Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn By William Twain940 Words   |  4 Pages S.Tibbs (1) Mr. Bassett ENG4U May, 2015 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, considered to be one of America’s greatest works of literature to this date, highlights Huck’s relationships with primary and secondary characters that he meets whilst journeying down the mississippi river.

Through Huck’s development of these relationships, his development as an individual is quite evident as novel progresses. So why is it that relationships are such a great influence to Huck? How have these relationships developed his character? To begin, we would have to look at Huck as an individual and how we are introduced to him as the novel begins. Huckleberry Finn is the protagonist and narrator of Huckleberry Finn. Huck, born and raised in St. Petersburg, Missouri is around the age of thirteen and the son of the town drunk. Huck’s personality can be defined by his hunger for self development, as he strives to educate himself unlike his friends. This aspiration of education for a boy like Huck is not normal to the society he lives in.
