The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn
By Mark Twain
The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is one of the most adventurous stories in American Literature. This book features a teenage boy name Huck Finn, who's trying to run away from his home because of the abuse from his father and the thought of being civilized by the widow Douglas. Eventually, on his way, a runaway slave named Jim accompanied him. More and less people began to think that Huck was killed in his father's cabin, but it was only a trick. Some even hoped to capture Jim and return him to his owner to get the reward.

Through Huck and Jim's journey they met a variety of people. Out of those people, the king and the duke lacked certain morals. They used lies and tricks to fool others for money, food, and even shelter.
Even though running away was or wasn't what they expected, friendship became more important than money. What held their relationship together was their decision-making and skills. It was awful to be a slave like Jim who had no control over his life, but it was even more brutal for Jim to think of his family.

The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn is enjoyable, motivating, and related to everyday life. It is related closely to society today regarding prejudice and racism.
The question is "How this book is unique to me?" Speaking for myself, I meet different people very often, and I want to preserve and build great friendships with some of the people I meet. It was often difficult for me to hold on to friendships, but I believe that struggle has made me strong. I recommend this book for readers who are interested in adventure or classic literature.
