Adventures Of Huck Finn And Tom Sawyer

Essay, Research Paper


Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer are the best of friends with remarkably


different personalities. Each brings their unique characteristics into this


comical friendship giving the novel numerous amusing passages. Throughout the


tale, Tom is often the leader while Huck is the reluctant follower. It doesn?t


matter that Tom?s ideas are ridiculous and extravagant, and Huck?s are


simple and practical, together they always proceed with Tom?s imaginative


plans. In contrast to Tom?s great imagination and creativity, Huck is


humorless and literal minded. Tom?s imaginativeness comes only from knowledge


he has gained through books. Huck, on the other hand, actually lives out the


fantasies Tom can only imagine. Tom Sawyer, already civilized, follows the


values and beliefs of society. Due to these convictions, Tom always abides by


the laws. For these reasons, Tom would never have helped free Jim unless he knew


that Jim had already been freed. Conversely, Huck Finn rejects the philosophy of


political beliefs for the fear of becoming civilized. He usually runs away at


the first notion of him becoming ?sivilized.? Huck is able to function in


any

society with the help of his adaptability and survival skills. He is able to


go from the freedom of the raft, to the perceived harshness of civilization, and


back again with ease. Although Tom has been able to slip past Death?s grip so


far, his chances of escaping may not always work out to his liking. Of the two,


Huck will always be the survivor in life. Together this pair achieves their


goals because of their intelligence and witty personalities. They have the


ability to put the knowledge they obtain into their every day lives. They are


two adventurous souls in search of fresh and exhilarating escapades. Their ages


united with their exceptional education keeps them on their toes. Huck?s


humorless personality and Tom?s extravagance has made The Adventures of


Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, a popular adventure for all ages. The American


people have forever enjoyed this novel and have made it the American literary


classic that it is today. ?So there ain?t nothing more to write about an?


we is rottin? glad of it, because if we?d ?a? knowed what a trouble it


was to make this essay, and, we wouldn?t ?a? tackled it, and ain?t


a-going to no more.? -Mark Twain pg. 283
