The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Mark Twain wrote lots of books and I choose one of the most popular The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

It is a story of young man named Huckleberry Finn and about his black friend Jim, we can find here also the figure named Tom Sawyer. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer inspires this book. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a free sequel to The Adventure of Tom Sawyer. Huck is relatively rich young boy who lived with a widow Douglas. She adopted him. He was rich, because he found the treasure in cave. He was very bored of a life with the widow Douglas. He had to be very proper. But it was very horrible for him. On this farm he met Jim, he was a black slave. He worked for the widow Douglas. He had family, who worked for the widow Douglas too.
One day Huck’s father came and took Huck from the widow Douglas. His father was a drunkard. He was very evil.

Huck worried about his money and safely saved his money by the judge Thatcher, because his father wanted all his money and he extorted the judge. When he was unsuccessful they moved together into a small cottage near the Mississippi River. It was a very horrible and musty barrack. Huck had to stay here. One day he decided that he would go away. But his father would have to think that he was killed. He made up a plan.

When his father went to the city he started to accomplish his plan. Huck fooled his father after dupery he drifted downstream the river for a long time. He found Jim. Jim got frightened. He thought that Huck was spirit. But it wasn’t true. Huck told Jim the story about his escape. They stayed on this place for several days. When there was a storm, they found the raft and in some small cottage, which floated around them. Jim explored the cottage, but he said to Tom that there wasn’t anything to see. They prepared the raft for the trip downstream to the Caira on the south end of Illinois. They wanted to go there, because they wanted to sell the raft and go up the river by steamboat on the north where here is freedom for slaves. But they passed the town…

The book continues another Huck´s adventures.

The end of the book is that he returned to the widow Douglas.

Nejsou.
