The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chapters 7-9

So Huck gets the bright idea to fake his own death???

he does what every normal boy dreams about at least once in his childhood: he fakes his own death. He beats down the door to the cabin and spreads pig's blood everywhere to make the cabin look like a robbery/murder-scene. Then it's into the canoe that he finds early in the chapter. In the nail-biting scene that follows, Huck has to lie down still in his canoe as his father paddles by right next to him! Because of the darkness and mostly his stupidity, Pap is oblivious to the empty canoe less than six inches from his path. Huck chills out in his canoe, smokes a pipe, looks at the stars, and eavesdrops on the nearby ferry full of men after he's sure that Pap isn't coming back. Huck decides it's safe to paddle to Jackson Island and makes it safe and sound. Huck wakes up the next morning, and everyone is out on the river reaching for his "body". He sees the body-searching boat with everyone on it: Pap, Judge Thatcher and his family, Tom Sawyer and his Aunt Polly. Huck makes it three days on the island by himself but he later admits that he sure is lonely. As time goes by, Huck senses he's not alone on the island, and by "sense" I mean he finds someone else there. (Namely Jim). Jim immediately assumes that Huck is a ghost and begs that he not hurt him. After Huck convinces Jim that he isn't dead nor a ghost The pair catches a fish and cooks it for dinner, and then Huck wants to know why Jim is on the island. Before he'll say, Jim makes him promise not to tell. Jim ran away and spills his guts about how Miss Watson was going to sell him to a slave holder for $800. Huck is shocked, but knows he has to keep his word to Jim not to tell. Jim and Huck decide to explore the rest of the island to make sure that they are 100% alone. He and Jim head toward the middle of an island and find a cavern. After hiding their canoe and supplies, they hide out during a storm and eat dinner. One night, the two happen upon a make shift house floating down the rover which was flooded due to the rain from the storm. They climb in, and Jim finds a dead body. He tells Huck not to look at the man's face, as it's "too gashly." After they take what hey need/want they both return to the Island.
