Huckleberry Finn

In the book Adventures Huckleberry Finn, we see our main protagonist Huckleberry Finn, who was a prominent character in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and his the adventures he goes on. Huck, who is the son of a verbally abusive drunk, was adopted by a widow named Mrs.douglas and we see her try to domesticate Huck and teach him to read which he reluctantly does. We see him and his friend Jim go on adventures and they eventually meet a pair of con artists named Duke and The Dauphin. As they go through town scamming, they encountered deaths and violence, but the worst thing they end up doing is selling Jim to a local farm. When Huck goes to rescue him, he realizes his new “ owners” are actually Tom Sawyers aunt and uncle. After plenty of obstacles they eventually rescue him and it is revealed that Jim was a free man all along. Aunt Sally then attempts to adopt Huck but Huck decides that he is done being domesticated and decides to move west.
