Huck and Jim travel down the Mississippi from St. Petersburg toCairo. Jim is a runaway slave so they have to be careful. They have a lot ofadventures on the river. They even meet a king! But is he real? Huck soon findsout the truth.

Huck was so brave. I was moved. In the age, to save slaves was a big sin, so running with Jim was a very big problem. Why did Huck save Jim? I think one of the reasons is that Huck leads a free and uninhibited life. He thinks formal clothes, manners and studying are boring. He doesn't fit a pattern of white society. That's why he could be able to be a friend with Jim.
I watched The Adventures of Huck Finn, a Disney's film, at history of American literature class. I really liked it, so I read this book.
