Huck Finn

The book Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain is a very contrivercial. It has sparked many debates on whether or not is a good book and should be tought in school and weather or npt it is racised. The book Huckleberry Finn is not racist, neither is Mark Twain. It is society in that time peroiod that twain was wanting to capture. Thorugh out the book we see huck wrestiling with himself and society. Going down the river with jim is against what he was tought and he belives that he is going to be in trouble for it. as we the reader are encouraging him to keep going and not turn jim in. annother instance we see this is when jim is captured and keept in a shed. he writes a letter to his owner telling her where jim is and he is for once proud of what he has done, but ends up ripping it up. he shows here that he wants to do the right thing but dosent want to abide by societys rules. Huck also had issues with society when he runs into tom again. He wants to hurry up and rescue jim but tom drags it out for a really long time. And he would have just rescued jim if it had'nt been for tuck. Not only does he worry about rules of society. but he also truly cares for jim. This is a verry strong point in showing that this book is not racist. the first instance we see this is when jim is beeing looked for because he is a runaway slave and huck says to him "get up and hump yourself jim there after us". But no one was really after huck, because they all bvelived he was dead. this is when he really kinda dedicates himself to jim. the second time is when he plays the tick on jim when they get seperated and jim yels for him and huck climbs back on the raft saying that he was there the whole time and jim calles him trash. huck felt rele poorly and said that it took him 15 minutes to humble himself to him. there are also scenes when they lay about the boat naked and free this could represent society and values because there on the river far from either. There are many arguments to be made about huck finn.
