Huck matures from the beginning of the novel to the end. One example is in the beginning when "I got out amongst the driftwood, and then laid down in the bottom of the canoe and let her float" page (35) Huck matures in this scene by getting the courage to escape his father who was always abusive to him he never did before because he was always scared to do so .Huck speaks about Jim in the beginning negatively because of the color of his skin, but as the story goes on he realizes that they are the same but he can't admit that because of how in that time people viewed people of color, but he still tries to help him because deep down we know that …show more content…
There are so many examples to prove that he isn't the same boy he was in the beginning.Some examples are Huck becoming more open-minded because he is a child, which allows him to develop and mature, as well as Huck’s experiences in the society help lead to his maturity.A scene that can represent his maturity is Huck doing pranks on Jim and not stopping to think if Jim appreciated those things. Every time he did this Jim would guilt tip him making Huck feel bad for what he did. So he promised he would never do those things again. One of the last scene that we see Hucks maturation is when Tom Sawyer is in danger "Laws knows I wanted to go bad enough to see about Tom and was all intending to go; but after that, I wouldn't 'a' went, not for kingdoms." page (283).Aunt Sally tells Huck not to go and he actually listens and cares what others have to say even though he wants to do the opposite.Now, Huck understands that his actions impact
At the very end of the book Huck says, “Aunt Sally she’s going to adopt me and sivilize me and I can’t stand it. I been there before” (296). Throughout the book, Huck constantly battles society and their
The scene that I relate to in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is when Huck is trying to get away from the Duke and the King. The quote that I found for this part in the book was when huck was talking to Mary Jane and he said “ It’s a rough gang, them two frauds, I’m fixed so I got to travel with them a while longer...”(187). This quote shows that Huck has figured out that the Duke and King are not good people and that he knows that he will still be with them for a little while longer.
Huck sees Jim like a parent because his Pap was not always there for him. Another instance we see Huck evolve is when he starts to feel bad about lying to the three daughters of Peter. He makes the situation more difficult by planing to expose the two con artists with Mary Jane, the oldest sister. His plan was to hide the gold from the fake brothers and this works somewhat because the actual two brothers come. So these changes we see from Huck are that he starts to care about what someone thinks of him and he will make things difficult for himself so he can make things
Huckleberry Finn is only a 12 year old boy, but shows he is mature beyond his years many times throughout the story. He is a major and dynamic character who is also the main protagonist. When the story seems to show Huck is growing and developing into a young man, his best friend, Tom, is brought back and brings the child back out of Him. Tom comes up with these crazy plans and ideas, and Huck goes along with them, showing that he still has a ways to go before being a real mature person. Tom and Huck are trying to find a way to break Jim out of where he is being held, Huck tells the readers, "Tom told me what his plan was, and I see in a minute it was worth fifteen of mine for style, and would make Jim just as free a man as mine would, and maybe get us all killed besides.
In the novel, Hucks goal is to mature. Huck begins to make better decisions by apologising after a prank with a rattlesnake. Huck begins his adventure with Jim off by making jokes and pranks on him. First, Huck finds a dead rattlesnake and decides to place it at the end of Jim’s bed. “ Well, by night I forgot all about
It is rather unlikely that Huck makes this decision lightly: like Jim, he too wants to run away. Perhaps Huck feels closer to Jim because of this, and it rationalizes his reasons for helping him. Huck understands Jim’s plight, even relates to it, and he feels Jim’s pain. Similarly, one of the greatest testaments to Huck’s compassion was the river episode and Huck and Jim’s encounter with the sinking steamboat Walter Scott. The protagonists chance across a sinking steamboat, and happen aboard to take a look.
The old saying goes, “People can’t change,” but we can, just like Huckleberry Finn changes. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn is a young boy with a big imagination. He loves adventures, and playing tricks, but throughout the book, he starts to change. Huck changes in several ways; he sees African-Americans differently, he starts to believe in superstition, and he also changes the way he acts toward people. One of the ways Huck has changed, is the way he sees and treats African-Americans.
This provides plenty of insight of who Huck is and shows although age may be a bit of a barrier it does not affect his thinking or who he is, it only alters it to his
He goes from playing a trick on Jim which hurts him physically, to saving his life, and in doing so himself so he doesn’t get in trouble for helping an escaped slave, and then finally he plays another prank on Jim, which almost ruins his friendship with Jim. Through his constant compassion and love for Jim he goes against what convention sees as wrong and apologizes to Jim. However, he does it with a lot of hesitation and embarrassment. This shows that Huck’s compassion for Jim grew but didn’t change his morality and character at all. This is because he had compassion for Jim in the beginning of the novel and all it did was grow but it still didn’t affect the way he felt about his actions he was doing towards Jim.
Jim takes what she says and looks at it from a different perspective. Jim says to Huck, "en I's wuth eight hund'd dollars." When Jim says this he is teaching Huck two different morals: one that being racist is wrong but two if the world looks down on you, you can turn something bad into good. The rest of the population just thinks that Jim is a piece of property and is only good for money. Jim teaches Huck tat that is not the way to look at things and to not be a part of racial
In the beginning of the novel, Huck receives spelling lessons and continues to look for ways to improve his behavior. After meeting up with Tom Sawyer, he
In the book "The Adventures if Huckleberry Finn", Mark Twain's writing mirrors the society and problems it had in that time. This book promotes seeing African-Americans as people, which is absolutely groundbreaking and unheard-of in the time it was written, right after the Civil War. Throughout the book,, Huck has a complete change in his feelings towards Jim, starting with his highly influenced young mind, only able to view Jim as a slave, all the way to seeing Jim as a father-figure who can protect and provide for him. Although Huck tries to see Jim as a friend and fatherly-figure, society's beliefs don't allow him to see Jim as anything but a slave.
Mark Twain emphasizes the theme that a person's morals are more powerful than the corrupt influence of society in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Based on how Huck Finn views the world and forms his opinions, he does not know the difference between right and wrong. In the novel, Huck escapes civilized society. He encounters a runaway slave, Jim, and together they travel hopes of freedom. But along the way, Huck and Jim come across troubles that have Huck questioning his motives.
Since Huck is used to being held captive and taken advantage of by his own father after his journey is over he would rather be alone than expect to live under someone 's roof and by their mannerisms. “Aunt Sally she’s
Progressively, Huck is viewed as naive and immature during the early stages of his development. His juvenescence and innocence substantiate the potential for growth, which is shown to the reader by Huck’s
