situation seem more exciting and complex than they really were. He and Huck were friends.In the plot of this story, the situations seem to rise out of the setting that the particular event is at. Huck is beaten many times by his drunken father and decides to fake his murder and runs away to Jackson’s Island to hide from everyone. While on this island he meets Jim who was a run away slave. When Huck discovers that people are looking for Jim, the two of them ride down the Mississippi River in an earlier discovered raft. As they float down the river, they plan to go to the Ohio River and travel north to free states, states that don’t have slaves. On the way, a steamboat hits the raft and Jim is discovered and gets sold to Silas Phelps. Huck then goes to rescue Jim, pretending to be Tom Sawyer and gets into many ridiculous and fantastic plans. Later when Jim is captured again, the people find out that he was freed by his owner before she died. Jim is free and Huck leaves the civilized life and heads for a new territory. The author uses many literary devices in this novel. One main one is the use of dialect. This was probably the most prevalent and noticeable device. When the dialogue speeds up, the dialect becomes very real. The dialect shows the level of society in a low class style of people. Jim also speaks in this manner. The author also uses conflict to show the problems when Jim is discovered and tried to escape, or when Huck is having a conflict of interest while living with Widow Douglas. One of the themes that I found was that planning out a situation is often the best thing to do. Huck had to think of a plan to help get away from his father and a plan to get Jim free again. Another theme is that helping someone is not sin. Huck helped Jim to escape and run away and he also helped Sophia Grangerford find her bible.In conclusion, I enjoyed this book very much. I would recommend it to anyone, no matter his or her reading...
