Author: Mark Twain
Publisher: Oxford
Story:
Huckleberry had a father named Pop Finn who was certainly not good. After the adventure with Tom Sawyer, he became rich and adapted to a kind widow. However he did not like to behave well and wear fine clothes. Forest and dirty clothes were better for him.
One day, Pop came to him disturbed him so much for he got better conditions. Pop wanted Huck’s money. He kidnapped and put Huck into a hut in Jackson Island. There, Huck killed a pig and crushed so it would look like his own dead body and run away. He found his friend Jim in the island who was slave but now running away.
They went down along the river with raft. They rescued two men chased by some dogs. They claimed to be the duke and the king. However, Jim and Huck did not like them. The duke and the king sold Jim and people brought Jim. Huck went to the house which Jim was locked. People in the house welcomed him well because they thought he was Tom Sawyer, his best friend and a nephew of Aunt Polly, the mother and wife of the house.
Real Tom came and he claimed to be Sid, his brother and he made a plan to free Jim. They succeeded but Tom got a bullet on his leg. He went back and Jim was captured again but Tom told news that Jim was free because his former owner was dead and wished him to be freed. He explained he just wanted to have adventure. By the time, Aunt Sally came to see Tom. So Tom and Huck explained everything happened.
However, his father Pop was dead and nothing could disturb Huck again. Aunt Sally decided to bring Huck to her home but Huck have got to consider whether he can take the worst offer ever-to wear fine clothes and sleep on a bed.
Impressions:
Well, interesting story that I finished in 20 minutes. The boy, I liked so much. He is so wild and adventurous. Compare to Huck, Tom likes adventures but he is a bit childish. Huck is like a half adult.
Beside nice characters, the plot of the story attracts me. It is not very big adventure with much killing and gun shots but it is interesting enough and it is peaceful. I am kind of worn out and sick by now, loved this book. It was not too violent for me.
I would recommend this book to anyone to read. Maybe a bit boring but if we just give a little concentration, it becomes most interesting one ever.
