Huck should have told the officials about the runaway slave, Jim, immediately as he found him. Yet throughout the story Huck grows a strong bond with Jim which is unheard of in those times. Jim gets taken and Huck debates on trying to save his friend or let a slave go rightfully. “All right then, I’ll go to hell” (Twain 214) This is one of the most powerful statements in the book because its Huck accepting the fact that he is willing to go to give up his immortal spirit in order to help his friend, Jim, and do what is right. Huck completely now views Jim as more than just property, but as a person.
I have risen at 5:30, determined to make wind-free miles on a glass-surfaced river. Perfect dawn sifted her purples and ochres behind a dynamically surging solar disk, rising in promise that this will be a good day. A promise that was kept! The full ebb tide pulled Tiger Lily down river strongly, boosted by the still upwelling James. I feel the push of myriad tiny, stream-drained valleys bestowing good energy upon my wet highway.
American culture has a long and rich history. This deep culture has been portrayed no better than in Mark Twain’s novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” This is a classic story of a young boy who must help an escaped slave flee his master, and by the end, discovers a few things about the world, and himself, along the way. There does exist, though, controversy surrounding the novel, mostly pertaining to its use of offensive language, the novel that has clouded its true meaning and purpose. Julius Lester and Kenny J. Williams both make arguments on whether or not the book should be taught to children. By how the story was interpreted, it is clear how the authors came to their respective conclusions.
The water flowing through the mountains and making paths have been here before man and will be there long after. With reference to major events in the African community comes a strong push for recognizing the feats of black people. The river Euphrates is a strong link to the beginning of time and the first civilization, Mesopotamia. Of course, this starts in Turkey where some of the first dark skinned individuals came about representing the “dawning of the young.” As well, the Congo and Nile rivers were found near great cities and states that the African community flourished in thus making their mark in the world. What stands out very strongly is the personification of the Mississippi River.
Just by one fault by the closest man in his life, Wes realizes he has changed in better ways as things have gotten more complicated: “ My father stood for moral absolution ” (144). Thinking how Wes was in the beginning of the summer in 1948, he finally grasps the understanding what is right and wrong.

Jest set still and take it like a man. I got to tell the truth, and you want to brace up, Miss Mary, because it’s a bad kind, and going to be hard to take, but there ain’t no help for it. These uncles of yourn ain’t no uncles at all- they’re a couples of frauds- regular dead-beats” (200). In the end of the book, in the scene when Jim gets captured, Twain’s statement is proven when Huck needs to make a decision whether or not he going to sell the letter to Ms Watson and whether or not to go get Jim back. “It was a close place.
We are reminded again with the ending to remember that Huck is just a simple boy who just wants to go with the flow of whatever life brings. The journey of life itself is half of the fun. The end of the novel brings Huck full circle almost exactly where he started as to stay consistent with the novel. As Huck made it clear he didn't want to be civilized he says the same about Aunt Sally were he, Jim and Tom are at the end of the novel. Aunt Sally is Tom’s Sawyers family where Tom and Huck rescue
It has many tributaries but there are two main ones: the White Nile fed by lake Victoria and the Blue Nile coming from Ethiopian mountains. These two main branches join near Khartoum, the capital of Sudan and they continue together as Nile proper until meeting the Mediterranean Sea and forming the Nile delta in northern Egypt. Around 5000 BC, one of the first great civilizations developed in the northern Nile river valley dependent on agriculture in a land called Egypt. Water; Fertile soil; and river's flow north while prevailing wind blows south made the Nile the best transportation way, were examples of the Nile gifts. Another gift is that every year the flood came bringing disaster and famine due to destroying the crops and their villages.
“In literature, evil often triumphs but never conquers.” I generally thought that this quote meant that the Bad guys may win the battle but he wont win the war. I for the most part agree with this quote. The novel “Raisin in the Sun” by Hansberry shows a great depiction of how the quote applies in literature, when Walter is told that they couldn't move to their new neighborhood because they are black, and then regains his honor. “Speak” by Anderson has a perfect example as Melinda was raped in the beginning and then gets back at Andy Evans through violence. In the novel “Raisin in the Sun”, when Walter tells Mr.Linder that they wont be moving into the new house in clyborn park is when Walter lost all of his honor.
After Danny and Solomon meet in prison, the film depicts Archer’s search for the diamond and Vandy’s pursuit for his family. Thereafter, Blood Diamond paints the bloody portrait of Sierra Leone’s civil war of the 1990’s with the film’s most successful moments revolve around the pain undergoing there which the journalist, Maddy Bowen, attempts to enlighten America’s ignorant ways through an exposé in order to cause the ebb and flow of conflict diamonds. “the people back home wouldn’t buy a ring if they knew it cost someone else their hand,”[1] which Bowen highlights exemplifying the unknown sacrifice surrounding diamonds and the atrocity that America is yet to be informed upon. Nor one can ignore the greedy lust for diamonds fuelling Africa’s civil war, also providing the plot’s macguffin for the film. The film explores a meaningful theme, whether it’s the conflict diamonds affect on Africa, the hardship of a man’s desire to get his family back or just the painful lifestyle, one can be moved by such factual occurrences in Africa.
