Huck Finn

I choose assignment 2. Now I am going to tell you more about 5 characters in the Huckleberry Finn book that Twain do admire.

Huckleberry Finn: Huck is a boy from the town St. Petersburg. His father is a alcoholic and his mother is dead. He don’t have a family to take care of him, but he’s not having a bad life because of that. Actually he’s having quite a good life with no school, and just doing whatever he wants all day. If he want to he can stay at Widow Douglas house too, as he and Tom Sawyer helped her get her money back from some thieves some years ago. Huck is admirable because: he is always trying to be nice to other people, he don’t like slavery, he is helping Jim escape, he don’t hurt others even though his father have hurt him a lot, and he is smart.

Jim: Jim is Miss Watson’s slave. Jim is a nice guy, although he don’t know too much as he never went to school or any other learning facility. Jim ran away from Miss Watson when she tried to sell him to some slave trader. Later he teamed up with Huck and they both ran away from St. Petersburg to save Jim’s life and get him out of slavery. In he end of the book Jim is freed from his slavery and becomes a free man. Jim is admirable because: He always believe in other people, he is always nice to other people, he is smart although he don’t know much.

Widow Douglas: Widow Douglas is a old woman that lost her husband. She live in St. Petersburg with her sister. Some thieves stole money from her, but Huck got it back so Huck can live with her whenever he want too. Widow Douglas is admirable because she is nice to Huck, and everyone else.
