Billy wants to find peace within him and the only way he can have it is to have revenge on the Indians who killed his parents. Revenge is not a good thing and it is not the way to go. His brother falls in love with a young girl and leaves Billy. Billy is left alone once more, first with the wolf and now with his brother. When he returns to Mexico to find his brother he only finds his remains he had been killed.
Anything of value Huck had while he was with his father, Huck relinquished them to avoid getting beaten. Pap took his son away from where he was living with the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson to live with him. Here Pap taught him to fish and hunt, but that was the extent of the good Pap did for Huck, leading to Huck faking his death and running away. Pap was a stain of a memory for Huck. Jim the slave featured much more prominently and positively in Huck's life.
Even though Jim is a slave and they’re seen as less important than other white humans, Huck still has Jim’s back. Huck has Jim’s back on multiple occasions once their journey begins to the Free State. Huck saves Jim’s life when the man is going to Jackson Island to look for Jim to turn in. Huck makes a decoy campfire and tells Jim they need to get out of there, and makes sure Jim stays low and out of sight. Huck even lies to the men that it was his family with smallpox so he wouldn’t be caught.
Or the navy, I don’t care” (104). Although Sonny appears to be sincere, in his dreams of becoming a great jazz musician, he is obviously scared that if he stays in Harlem, something will have direct impact on his failure. Sonny’s brother is also haunted with failure. He says: “When I saw the papers this morning, the first thing I asked myself was if I had anything to do with it. I felt sort of responsible” (95).
Jim and huck make a plan just incase someone try’s to come and find them. They both go into a cave in the middle of the island and hide. During a storm they go into the cave until it blows over but when they come back out they find a house going down the river , and inside the house they find the body of a man shot in the back. Jim was always talking about how he wanted to be free but Huck was always a little worried if he was doing the right thing by not turning Jim in to the authorities or letting them know of his whereabouts but at the end he ends up giving in to jims
When on land, Huck's father, Pap kidnaps Huck in order to keep Huck from being “better [than] him [and to keep Huck from] fooling around [in] school” (19) because he never went to school, illustrating a very poor example of parenting and a closed-minded way of thinking. As a parent, he should want what's best for Huck, wanting him to be civilized and be a decent human being. Like the land, which is physically slow-changing, Pap doesn't want Huck to surpass him. When Huck is imprisoned within the shed, Pap beats him and suppresses him, keeping him unchanged and unable to improve physically or mentally. Huck escapes suppression by fleeing to the river, where he finds his ticket to freedom; “a canoe... riding high like a duck” (30).
He cared about Huck, especially after what he did and what he is doing to help him achieve his goal, to reach Cairo, a slave free state. He’s goes through this emotions several times every time they pass a town hoping they have reached their destination, the feeling of excitement and then disappointment. Throughout this chapter, Huck is bothered by his guilt and he is unsure whether he is doing the right thing by helping Jim escape and get to his destination while Jim is hopeful and thankful for Huck’s help through all of
(22) Soon after leaving home he would have to abandon his beloved Datsun. This should have been devastating considering the fight that he put up over his parents trying to buy him a new car, but actually a huge weight had been lifted off of him. At last he felt free. In Jon Krakauer’s book Into the Wild describes Chris as being exhilarated. That he saw this as a chance to be free.
“Jim said it made him all over trembly and feverish to be so close to freedom”(97). Jim’s excitement in knowing that he’s almost a free man demonstrates his unrelenting desire to be free. These mutual feelings of wanting to escape an old life between Huck and Jim do not crossover to Tom, however. Tom, being raised in relative comfort, is used to living with strict adherence to a list of “rules”. Even though Tom makes his own rules and uses the river as a “base of operations” of sorts, its his adherence to the ideas of having rules that contrasts Huck’s defiant attitude towards authority and constrictions.
Freeland he planned his first escape; he became discontent with his wretched condition under slavery. He of course could not forget his fellow friends and shared his plans with them. Douglass and four other slaves devised a plan to escape to the north. Each of the men could only dream of freedom. They discussed what possible adventures they would pursue together.
