etting ready to sail off on their raft, the two con-artists came running down the bank to catch another ride.The next day, after touring another town, Huck returned to the raft to find Jim missing. The two men had sold him to Silas Phelps.Huck knew he had to rescue Jim, and he went immediately to the Phelps Plantation.Tom Sawyer's Aunt lived there, and she mistook Huck for Tom. Huck played along and pretended to be Tom.Tom eventually showed up and Huck then pretended to be Tom's cousin, Sid. The two boys devised a plan to free Jim. They dug a tunnel into Jim's hut, and Huck left a letter for Mr. Phelps that said a gang of cutthroats had stolen Jim. Heading back to the raft, they were chased by a gang of farmers with guns. Tom was shot in the leg, and the three were captured.Tom explained to everyone that Miss Watson had died two months earlier and had set Jim free in her will. Jim was immediately released, and Mr. Phelps gave him a suit and forty dollars.Before Jim left he told Huck that the dead body they had seen in the house floating down the river was Huck's Pap. This didn't bother Huck since he didn't care too much for his Pap anyway.When Aunt Sally offered to adopt Huck, he decided he had better disappear again, lest he be "sivilized".I enjoyed reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I liked the way Huck didn't conform to the rules of society. He liked Jim for the person he was. He learned that being a different race doesn't make a person inferior or unequal. I also liked the way Huck was so innocent, and the adventures were fun without having bad purposes behind them like so many other adventure stories.I think everyone would like to be as carefree and adventurous as Huck Finn every once in a while....
