instal The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The assertion appears logical, for Cairo is, indeed, the original destination of Jim and Huck. They decide to buy another canoe to head upriver, but a steamboat wrecks the raft and the two are once again separated.īefore 1991, critics largely believed that Twain stopped writing after Chapter 16 and set the manuscript aside. Shortly after, Huck and Jim see the clear water of the Ohio River and realize they have passed Cairo in the fog. Instead of rushing ashore at dawn to free his conscience, however, Huck covers for Jim when he runs into townspeople. When Jim says he will steal his children out of slavery if necessary, Huck decides he must go ashore and turn Jim in to the authorities. Jim's excitement is obvious, and Huck struggles with his shame of helping a slave escape. Jim and Huck decide that Huck must go ashore to check their progress. After a few minutes, Huck feels so ashamed that he apologizes to Jim. He admonishes Huck for the prank and says that only 'trash' would treat a friend like that. Jim's concern turns to confusion, but he finally realizes Huck is lying. Instead of celebrating their reunion, Huck decides to act as if Jim has been dreaming and Huck has been on the raft the entire night. He eventually finds Jim, who is in tears over seeing Huck again. After calling in vain for Jim, Huck decides to take 'one little cat-nap' and wakes up several hours later under a clear sky. On the second night, however, a dense fog rolls in, and the strong current separates Huck and Jim. Jim and Huck believe that three more nights will bring them to Cairo, Illinois, and, from that point, they can take a steamboat up the Ohio River to the free states.
