Adventures

I think it's interesting that both Jim and Huck are running away and from  similar situation. Jim is running away from being mistreated and being sold to New Orleans. Huck isn't running from being sold but from being abused by his father. I think this is interesting because not many people back then would thing that a black man and a white kid would have anything in common. I also think it's interesting that Huck, as of right now, is closer to a black man, who is a slave, than any other person. That would have been unheard of in that time period. Huck had always been taught or seen that colored people are less than whites. But when he actually interacts with Jim on the island, he learns that Jim isn't that much different from him and I think that is a good lesson for Huck to learn at an early age.
