With the dynamics of Jim and Huck’s relationship + social/political commentary, TAHF is far more thought-provoking, which justifies future re-reads. Actually, it reads like a children’s chapter book it didn’t provide me much (if any) material worth pondering. Though TATS is amusing, it’s a straightforward story, so I don’t think there’d be much reason to return to it. I appreciate The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, but The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the superior novel. Tom Sawyer appears towards the end of this story and, as in the first book, serves the role of “mischievous ringleader.” Comparing & Contrasting By the end, Huck is still Huck (for instance, still hates taking baths and dressing nicely), but he grows up in other ways, such as learning to care deeply for a black man. In a somewhat similar fashion to its predecessor, Huckleberry Finn moves along by illustrating the crazy, comical, and/or dangerous situations Huck and Jim stumble upon along the way.
The two of them travel the Mississippi River together. He winds up in the situation of needing to flee his home and meets an escaped slave named Jim.
Huckleberry Finn is a simple, kind-hearted boy.
