Friendship and Betrayal-4


In the final chapters of the’ Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ we read more about friendship and betrayal. Tom and Huck finally manage to get to Jim. Jim is so happy to see them and begins to feel emotional. It makes me happy to see that all three characters are reunited. I think it is also great that they talk about what has been going on in their lives since the last time they were all together. At the end of the story everything works out for our characters. I guess it is correct to say that there is a “happy ending” after all. I think that all the challenges Jim and Huck faced just made their friendship stronger. There were ups and there were downs in their relationship but everything turned out okay. Also Huck and Tom’s relationship becomes stronger than ever in these last couple chapters. Tom and Huck seem to become more brotherly in these chapters. Jim, Huck and Tom all care a lot about each other. In these last few chapters it is evident that all three of them are very close and care for each other. I like the fact that Jim, Huck and Tom are close and almost family oriented. It helps the reader identify with the book. I am also happy that this book ended with a happy ending! Huck is adopted by Aunt Sally! Overall I think friendship is evident in not only the final chapter’s but in the entire book.

Hey Caroline, great post! I also liked that it had such a happy ending considering all the trials the two of them went through together. They really deserve it. And even though it all works out in the end, I don’t think that Tom really cared for the well being of Jim. Tom is genuinely friends with Huck but he played around with Jim knowing full well that he was a free man all along. I think there’s something wrong with that kind of deceitfulness but if all of them at the end decide to forgive and forget then I guess it all worked out for them in the end.

It did have a happy ending. Personally i thought it was cute. But seeing Jim, Huck, and Tom share a unique bond is pretty exciting. These are characters who i wouldn't expect to be related, but the connection they make shows true friendship and family-like aspects. I think its a good thing Huck and Tom became so close because they're going to be seeing each other a lot more frequently. I'm not sure if Huck is excited to live with Aunt Sally, she might have plans to reform him. That didn't go to well last time but I'm sure it'll be different now that Tom is in the picture.
