        The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Questions

1.  Compare and Contrast Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

     Although Tom and Hucklberry Finn have many things in common and are very good  friends, they also live a life of two totally different lifestyles.  Tom, who is a dreamer, lives a life out of romantic novels, and can be amusing and exasperating at the same time.  He lives a life out of drama and brings out his imagination in a realistic way.

Because he is more than a stereotypical slave, Huck and Jim throughout the book develop a very loyal friendship and become very good friends.  Jim, who acts like a father figure towards Huck because no one else is there for him., is important to the plot because he gives Huck a reason to travel on the river.  Because Jim is a runaway slave, it is necessary for Huck to keep quiet in times like for instance when Huck lies to them men about him being in the raft, instead telling them that his ill “pap” is in the raft.  Huck does whatever he can to keep his word that “ he will not tell on Jim.”
      When Huck hears that Jim is jubilant at the thought of escape, and also that Jim plans to steal is necessary, his own child...
