After reading Mark Twain's Adventure of Huckleberry Finn I learned that you should never believe everything that people tell you. I learned this when the Duke and King told the story about their fake lives to Huck and Jim so that they could come on to the boat. The Duke and King took over the boat after a couple of days later. Then when they reached to the next town they lied about being the uncle of Mary Jane to get some money. I was glad that Huck told her the truth about the Duke and King. I flet bad when Jim and Huck did not escape from the Duke and King when Huck made a very good plan. His plan was to get "Mary Jane to leave for a couple of days and during those days he will find a way to put her fake uncle in jail." What did you learn from this book?
I also saw the bond between Jim and Huck. It started when Huck tried to help Jim escape from the south by lieing to two white men saying "that Jim was a white person too" so that he could become a free man. Another time was when Huck tried to help Jim escape from Miss Watson. Huck had to dig through rubbish help Jim escape. The last one was when Jim tried to keep Huck from seeing a very nasty dead body. I am glad that Jim and Huck found themselves a friend which is each other. Did you see the bond between them?

Hello, azngyrl.
I remember reading Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn years ago, and reading your review brought several of the memories back. I absolutely loved the book, though it depresses me that many libraries in the U.S. have banned the book, due to racial slurs and references to slaves.
To a child, or young adolescent, at Huck Finn's age, I suppose the story of the Duke and King seemed especially believable, though anyone else would laugh at them. Finn made himself very noble and honest, which seemed the opposite of what everyone expected of him, by telling the truth of the Duke and King; one can reply the same about helping Jim escape the South and slavery - Huck Finn lied to numerous people to complete the task, but for a very good reason, as he valued friendship more than unjust societal norms.
Thanks for the comments, and I hope to see you more often on the forums, azngyrl. ;)
