The Plot
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is literally about the adventures and journey that a boy named Huck Finn has experienced. Huck Finn was adopted by a Widow named Douglas because his dad is drunken man, who can't get his life together, and also abuses him. Eventually his dad finds him and tries to take all of Huck's money by getting custody of him again, but the Judge that knows this case very well and is not going to to let that happen. Huck's father then found out where Huck was staying and kidnaps him. He took him to a sketchy cabin near the woods but Huck didn't last long there. He found a canoe, and he made a plan to escape. Huck faked his own death in order to be able to leave so people wouldn't go out looking for him. He went and traveled to Jackson's island which wasn't really that far away from where he originally was. Here he finds a Slave named Jim who was owed by Miss Watson, but ran away because he heard she was going to sell him to a plantation in New Orleans and didn't want to get separated from his family. Eventually Huck and Jim leave the island because it was too dangerous for them to stay since people would go out trying to find them both. (There was a reward for the people that found them.) As they are traveling down the River they come upon many things. Huck and Jim experience floods, and snake bites. They experience dead bodies, and robbers. They also got separated from each other on a very foggy night, when a steam boat crashed into their raft. Huck gets adopted by a family, and Jim hides in the woods. Eventually they find each other again. As they travel down the river they come upon two conman who get into many scams during the next few weeks. Their worst scam was when they sold Jim to a local farmer, and told them the story about him being a run-a-way slave. The farmer that now owns Jim is actually Tom Sawyers family, which is Huck's real good friend. Huck is mistaken to be Tom, and when Tom arrives he acts to be his little brother Sid. They do many things to try and save Jim. Will Jim get rescued?
