Huckleberry Finn Learns He Must Grow Up Fast If He Wants to Survive Life

     Huckleberry Finn, the main character, learns he must grow up fast if he
wants to survive life. Huck Finn has a drunkard as a father, a hogshead as a
home, and a mother (dead ) of which he never knew. He is a congenital liar, a
thief, and someone who has no respect for the rules of society.  He will use
every technicality to get off with doing something completely wrong, but is ok
by him. Huck is not all evil as one would think by this introduction. He in
fact believes in personal freedom, something which he never really has had.

     Jim, a supporting character, also has to deal with many problems of
society. The greatest one in fact is, the fact that he is a slave. Jim is a
very modest person, he will sacrifice anything to help his fellow man. Huck
sees this  and begins to think of Jim as a human being also, and will “go to
hell ” for Jim. Although Jim is a slave, he does not  think of people based on
their skin color, but in fact believes that everyone is equal regardless of
skin, and even age. One may ever say that Jim is Huck's true father.

     Both Jim and Huck have experienced life at a tedious level. They have
their highs and lows, but mainly life is not all it is cracked up to be. For
Huck, he must experience having a horrendous father who beats Huck to a  pulp
any time he is sober. And for Jim, the fact that his family is not considered
human by society but rather chattel  that can be bought, sold or even traded at
the slightest whim. Together  Huck and Jim must work together to escape  the
society which has allowed them to live the vile life they had, and move to a
place where society will let them  start a brand new life.

        When Pap , was not around, Huck felt better about himself. He enjoyed
life a little more, did not have to worry about coming home on time, only to get
beat up by his own pap.

        He kept me with him all the time, and I never got a chance to run
        off. We lived in that old cabin, and he always locked the door and
        put the key under his head nights. He had a gun which he had stole,
        I reckon, and we fished and hunter, and that was what we lived on
        Every little while he locked me in and went down to the store, three
        miles, to the ferry, and traded fish and game for whisky, and fetched
        it home, and got drunk and had a good time and ...
