There may never be another novel written quite like Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn. It combines adventure, suspense and comedy to create a most accurate account of the times. Huckleberry Finn warms the heart of the reader by placing an ignorant white boy by the name of Huckleberry Finn in some strange situations, having him tell his remarkable story the way it streams into his own eyes. Huckleberry Finn is nearly always confused on account of so many different kinds of people having such different impressions upon him; he turns to his own heart and intelligence for guidance. Huckleberry Finn has a heart of gold, and grows as a person throughout the story.

Huckleberry lived in a very "sivilized" household; a rather prosperous one as well, with the Widow Douglas. It was a time of slavery, though throughout the entire novel there was very little said to put down African Americans. The characters in the book, as many as there were, were all created by Twain to respect and acknowledge the decency in their slaves.
There are two main characters in Huckleberry Finn: Huckleberry Finn, and Jim, a runaway slave. Huckleberry Finn finds himself torn between his own judgement of helping Jim escape, and the people around him who support slavery in it's entirety. He is in a bad and dangerous situation while with Jim, because anyone might possibly think Jim a runaway "nigger" and turn him back in for the reward of cash, as well as clout for being honest. But Huck is a very bright and creative young man, and uses his intelligence to both his and Jim's advantages in order to save their lives, on more than one occasion. He is quite brilliant under pressure, as when encountered by two men looking for runaway "niggers". The men inquired about who else was with Huck. The men threatened to come closer and see, and Huck replied, "I wish you would, because it's pap that's there, and maybe you'd help me tow the raft ashore...He's sick..." and Huck let on that he needed the men's help, and that his "pap" was awful ill, and soon enough the men hollered, "Keep away, boy. Confound it, I just expected the wind has blown it to us. Your pap's got the smallpox, and you know it precious well." Huck makes great use of his mind and ponders every possible obstacle that comes his way. In most cases, that is what saves him from making the wrong decision, even if the wrong decision would be the easiest one to carry out.
There is always some sort of conflict in Huckleberry Finn, but Twain basically wanted to create only one or two at a time. The main goal that Huck and Jim were striving for was freedom, and after Huck faked his own death, and Jim ran away from Mrs. Watson, they thought they were home free. Not so, because within the time span between setting off and achieving freedom, they had been "run through the mill", so to speak. Huck and Jim had been separated at least three times, and two of those by life-threatening situations. They had lost, then recovered their raft. They had on many occasions come close to being discovered by robbers. Huck even lived with a strange family who was nice enough to take him in when he was
