Huck Finn

  The book I just finished reading was The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  This was a good book that had a good lesson.  Everyone is created equal.
  This story begins in fictional St. Petersburg, Missouri, on the Mississippi River, sometime between 1835 and 1845.  Huck has been set under the control of the widow douglas.  But soon after his father "pap" gets full custody and they move back into the woods.  Not satisfied with his life Huck escapes from the cabin, fakes his own death, and sets off down the Mississippi River where he meets Jim.
  While living quite well on the river, Huck encounters Mrs. Watsons slave Jim.  He learns that Jim is also a runaway.  Jim is trying to go to Ohio where there is freedom to buy his family some.   At first Huck debates whether or not he should tell someone about Jim running away but as they talk he realizes that he was actually a nice person.  He tells him about his hard past and Huck changes his mind about people, slavery, and life overall.  
  Further down the river Jim and Huck rescue two cunning grifters who join them on the raft.  After the four fugitives have drifted far enough from the town, the king takes advantage of Hucks temporary absence to sell his interest in the "escaped" slave Jim for forty dollars.  Huck gets very mad about this whole situation and decides to help free Jim.  Sadly his plan doesn't work and Jim gets recaptured.  
  Although he got recaptured events quickly unfold.  Jim is freed in the will of Miss Watsons death.  In the final narrative Huck says he is tired of writing his story and that he intends to flee west to Indian territory.
