Personification In Huckleberry Finn

Changes in politics, science, religion, and economics generally affect society and what authors write. The main character in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is Huckleberry Finn and Jim. Twain used both direct and indirect to describe Huckleberry Finn to the reader. An example of direct characterization is, “"Now, we'll start this band of robbers and call it Tom Sawyer's Gang. Everybody that wants to join has got to take an oath, and write his name in blood."

Part of the reason that makes Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain a masterpiece is because of the way he forced the readers to fondle the details to find a greater meaning. He places details in the language for the readers to further their understanding of the characters and get a good feel for the setting of the novel. Twain places a heavy emphasis on Jim’s dialect, he does this by making Jim’s speech hard to read and digest. He does this to show Jims place in society, his level of education, and to show how most slaves during the time period talked. Twain also uses his language to show how slaves were treated in different states and to show the amount of education they receive. For example

One of the reasons that Huckleberry Finn was banned in the past was because people found the dialect that Twain used unintelligible and shameful to the United States. These people thought that the manner of speech in which the novel was written would make Americans appear simple-minded. This may be the case with some, but the vernacular that the author used was the real dialect that majority of the population practiced in the time period that Huck existed. The novel is not meant to put America to shame, but rather to show the reality of how people spoke and acted in the mid nineteenth century. The vernacular is yet another aspect that makes the novel truthful because it gives readers a realistic view into the life of people from that time in American history.

“Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes” by David Platt. David Platt’s quotes fits in with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain’s theme of learning and education and the archetype, The Orphan because it is talking about how you could oversee something or someone a million times, but once you actual know them, you start to care about them. The archetype the orphan motto is every man is created equal.

In The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn, Huck and Jim’s adventures on the Mississippi River embody the idea of the sea journey archetype. There are many examples and ideas that contribute to this model. First of all, to Huck and Jim, the Mississippi River itself represents freedom. On their own raft, Jim and Huck escape their problems and don’t have to answer to anyone. Mrs. Loftus, along with the rest of society, believes that the situations of the the two runaways are not comparable: one is a hapless slave escaping his fate and the other is a miserable and rebellious boy escaping his father’s farm.

In the novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn is anything but a static character. Huck’s evolution through the story is the evolution of an archetypal hero. Huck’s evolution through the story can be see through not only many people, but through objects in the story as well. Huck’s battles throughout with society, Tom, and even his father are huge parts of how he evolves throughout. Huck’s evolution in the start of the story is a bit harder to see, and he is still in a sort of developing stage, and still trying to figure out his own ways, versus Tom’s ways, versus societies ways.

In many books, the author will use literary devices to enhance their writing. Literary works are used to bring out the author’s ideas in a creative, meaningful way.

Huckleberry Finn grows as a dynamic character throughout The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Despite this growth, he still lacks in certain aspects of his maturity while flourishing in others. His independence and character dynamics are commonly shown through his interactions with Jim, a runaway slave, and Pap, Huck’s abusive father. Huck´s immaturity is shown largely in his moments with Tom, his close friend, and Huck´s willingness to follow ridiculous schemes that Tom comes up with. Mary Pipher, clinical psychologist, defined the meaning of maturity in her book Reviving Ophelia. In comparison with Pipher´s definition, Huck Finn is shown to be a character that grows in maturity but never becomes fully independent in the book. Huck while both creating his environment and beginning to make his own choices on what he accepts and what he does not fails to mature in the aspect of owning up to his actions and wrongdoings. In Huck's attempts to keep the people around him and himself happy he neglects the importance of coming to terms with his actions within the book. Huck Finn’s interactions with Jim and Pap in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn grow him into a strong and mature individual while his actions with Tom impede his independance.

One component of these chapters that I felt was extremely prevalent was the character development of Huck. There were multiple instances when Huck had to make certain decisions that would effect him in the long run, and with most of those decisions came a moral struggle. It seemed as if within these chapters, Huck is trying to find out who he truly is as a person. One example of these moments is in chapter 16 when he is having an internal battle, trying to convince himself that helping Jim gain his freedom is in fact the right thing to do. The quote reads, “I couldn't get that out of my conscience, no how nor no way. It got to troubling me so I couldn't rest; I couldn't stay still in one place…I tried to make out to myself that I warn't to blame, because I didn't run Jim off from his rightful owner” (Pg. 87). In the quote stated above you can clearly see the internal struggle that Huck goes through, trying to find himself along the way. He looks at the situation with 2 different perspectives, one of them being that taking Jim to gain his freedom is immoral and the wrong thing to do, the other being taking Jim to gain his freedom is the right thing to do. Although Jim knows that either way he will feel guilty but he ends up choosing to take Jim's side because of his loyalty. Jim shows his appreciation to Huck by saying things like, "Dah you goes, de ole true Huck; de on'y white genlman dat ever kep' his promise to ole Jim”(Pg. 92), causing Huck
