Huck And Jim Began To Grow

I chose to examine the symbolism of the raft and

and Jim. The river takes both Huck and Jim away
from captivity. As Huck was running from both Pap

young, less than civilized character. His
character emerges as a very literal and logical
thinker who only believes what he can see with his
own eyes. In this section Huck's life with the
Widow Douglas and her attempts to raise him as a

right, yet he does not realize that his own
instincts are more moral than those of society.
From the very beginning of Huck's story, Huck
