We're still reading Huckleberry Finn and analyzing it just a bit. It's amazing how many details you can remember when you categorize things, either in your head or on paper. Three areas in which I like to categorize are: main characters, significant events, and setting. I am on Chapter Nineteen, and the main setting of this book, from chapter to chapter, centers on the River, and the comfortable and free world of the raft. As Huck writes, "We said there warn't no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft."
As the story and their journey progresses, Huck and Jim engage with the shoreline and the world of the towns along the shore more and more.
Huck grapples with some moral issues he'd never even thought of as moral issues before. He matures and grows. Jim and Huck become faithful, trustworthy friends who watch out for each other.
