Huck Finn thoughts

The majority of Huck Finn is written as a boy's book. Really it's called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and that's what it is. The book is full of adventures that Huck goes on, like the scene on the boat. While the fog part is much more intense than anything that has occurred before, it is still something that a kid could be very interested in because it is exciting. Not everything in Huck Finn is geared towards boys, however. Some of the ideas about racism could not be understood by small children. That's probably a good thing because if they did understand it that could have a bad effect on them. But even if the children don't understand the themes, Huck still says "nigger" quite often, and even if a child wouldn't understand it they might use the word. So it's mostly a kids book but not entirely. Huck and Jim's relationship fluctuates at various times in the novel. They have a very good relationship while on Jackson island as shown by Huck immediately running to tell Jim "They're after us." It shows that they have a good relationship. After the fog incident they are not doing as well because of what happened and the stupid trick that Huck played on Jim. Huck always thought that not turning Jim in was bad and with their relationship in turmoil he gives it even more thought. Huck almost turns Jim in because their relationship is not doing so well. He decides not too because he knows Jim is all he has, and is his best friend. I think that after this Twain suffers from writers block because he doesn't know what should happen next. I think that he had to make a big decision about the direction to take the novel in. There are so many things that could have happened that he didn't know what would have made the most money.
