Mr. Finn. Huck Finn

I shall have to admit that this is the first time that I have been exposed to the wonderful adventures of Mr. Huckleberry Finn and I must say that I am impressed. Not having the chance to read it before I find that it is just as easy to become a part of his world as it was to penetrate into the Harry Potter world. I am also a bit ashamed to confess this but I had rather low expectations for Mr. Finn, thinking it would be quite a nuisance to read but boy was I wrong. I discovered that it was a very wonderful adventure with character and a story behind the character which has to embark on a type of quest towards self discovery, hence probably why it’s on our reading list. So far I’m enjoying this book as a good read especially with this winter weather. In the beginning of the book I encountered the relationships that Huck Finn has with his friends, father and the widow. In regard to relationships with his friend he seems to be the more realist, always doubting Tom Sawyer and his adventures and not using his imagination (the way Tom does) to play and see the world in a new light. I think that further on in the book, Huck has the ability to use this imagination as well as his wit to get out of situations which he encounters, thus showing us his capacity of growth. The relationship with his father is a turbulent one in which Huck doesn’t seem to see a way out of until his wit and imagination help him get out of it. One thing that kind of disturbs me at this point of the reading is his conscious. He seems to be weary of doing the right thing, and then seems to balance out that if he would have done a bad thing or a right thing they would balance out as being the same. So I guess we’ll see how this develops in the rest of the reading. Hopefully in a mature and good manner.
