Huck Finn

While I was reading and Huck started talking about how Jim had been dreaming about the whole incident that had just happened minutes before, even confused me. Twain made the writing of the fog and how Jim and Huck got lost seem so vivid and the details were very good. Then once Huck tried to convince Jim it hadn't happened it made me really angry and even confused me to what Huck was saying. Poor Jim must of felt so stupid and I felt so bad for him. He thought that Huck was his friend. It was like when Tom Sawyer tricked Jim before with the hat and he started talking about the witches. That happened because Tom thought it would be funny and felt it was okay. Jim didn't know but when a boy he thought was his best friend tried to humiliate Jim and make him feel stupid so Jim was sad. Afterwards, Huck did feel bad for what he had done so he ended up telling Jim what he had done. It was good to see that Huck realized how bad it was to trick Jim and he actually realized that he shouldn't ever do it again. I think that Huck plays these tricks on Jim even though they are good friends because it's what he has known and seen done before. Also I couldn't believe that Huck considered turning Jim in. Huck thinks about this when Jim is talking about how he is so close to freedom and it's all because of Huck his best friend. It was at that moment that Huck's conscience started telling him that he had the chance to do what society believed was right which is to turn in the escaping slave. Huck had never heard Jim talk of such freedom before and it angered him. He thought, "He wouldn't dare to talk such talk in his life before." Jim was talking about saving up money and stealing his children away from slavery. I think this really scared Huck because he was the cause of this escape and he had helped Jim and by helping Jim that meant he was also helping other slaves escape and Huck wasn't used to that thought. He had grown up thinking that slaves were not allowed to escape and that they must have a master and must follow their master's rule. That's why it was so hard for him to accept at first, it was so against society. After Huck had thought about giving Jim away, he thought some m0ore and decided not give Jim away after all Huck would end up being lonely and he had become such a good friend with Jim, why give it all away just because society believed it to be that way. Also I think that Twain had writers block on page 72 because when he was writing he just went off and by the time he realized that Jim and Huck had seperated he wasn't quite sure where he could go next based off of what he knows. So it's interesting to see where he will take it considering he could do whatever he would like.
