Huckleberry Finn

Who wants to live in a house, wear clean clothes, be good, and go to school every day? Not young Huckleberry Finn, that's for sure.  So Huck runs away, and is soon floating down the great Mississippi River on a raft. With him is Jim, a black slave who is also running away. But life is not always easy for two friends.And there is 300 dollars waiting for anyone who catches poor Jim...

 This is a very famous story written by Mark Twain. In this story, a white boy Huck helps a black slave Jim to escape. Jim is a runaway slave. Before his escape, he hears his owner planning to sell his to the south and decides to run away to the free state. However, at that time, helping a slave escape was illegal so they desperately had to avoid being found. On their way to the destination, they face some crises to being captured because there is a prize money to the person who finds Jim. But they use tact to get out of trouble and continues to go down the river to get to the free state.
 In my opinion, the most interesting thing in this story is Huck's mental growth. At first Huck's behavior was too much uninhibited. But during their escape, Huck works together with Jim and shows a great deal of wit to survive. Through the story, Huck gets cleverer and cleverer.
