Hi guys, I have to write an essay for my American Literature class. I chose an essay about Huck and Jim firendship, I want to analyze how their relationship develops in the book. could ypu help me to plan my work? I don't know if what i wrote works for an introduction.... Adventure of Huckleberry Finn is not just a story of a runaway slave and a white boy who go through adventures looking for freedom in nineteen century. Their story is metaphor of the greater conflict between blacks and whites in the South during Reconstruction. Twain wants people to see that blacks are "human", they have feelings, can love and that's why despite a social order set against interracial communication and respect, Huck develops a comradeship with Jim for which he is willing against all he has been taught to risk his soul. During the adventure the relationship between Huck and Jim becomes stronger, they share the same problems and become friends because they can trust each other. Fate puts them in the same situation, so even if at the beginning of their adventure Huck repeats the clichés instilled in him as a part of his education, at the end of the story he will not able to leave his faithful friend alone. Because of all these features Twain's novel is a bildungsroman, a formation novel, it focuses on the evolution of the protagonist both psychologically and morally. Thanks a lot!!!
