Huck finn 31-43

Looks lthe hut.ike the king and duke's luck is running out. As they make an attempt to betray a village, each attempt was unsuccessful. Huck's analogies are the absolute best! "Then in another village they started a dancing school; but they didn't no more how to dance than a kangaroo does;" (Twain - P. 237). I feel like Huck is betraying Jim by not going to look for him. When he discovers that Jim has been captured, he lays in the raft contemplating instead of searching for his friend. Huck believes it will be better if Jim was a slave with his family. But if Jim ran away from being a slave, why would Huck feel like that's the best decision? Plus, people are after Jim because they think he's a murderer. They won't be sending Jim to New Orleans, they're going to hang him.
      Huck is also being selfish when thinking about what's best for Jim. "And then think of me! It would get all around, that Huck Finn helped a nigger to get his freedom," ( Twain - P. 240). Losing Jim is finally getting to Huck. He decides to find his friens. He finds the duke for answers, but as soon as the duke was going to give Huck information he stopped. Not trusting Huck of course. Luckily, Huck already knew who he had to see.
      When Huck gets to the house, he soon realizes that Sally is Tom Sawyer's aunt. Thus, the lying duo is back. Huck meets his friend away from the Phelps house and tells him all about Jim. Tom is on board for helping with the nigger escape. Is it because he's trying to help a friend or is it because he missed searching for trouble?
      While the duo is out lurking through the town, they spot the other team of thieves dealing with some trouble of their own. When thinking of the four of them, I wonder if the king and duke symbolize Huck and Tom. Could the two be a representation of the two boys' future. If they continue to betray people, is that where they'll end up years from now?
      Tom is being a pretty good friend by helping Huck free Jim. Is this really THE Tom Sawyer with Huck? They soon devise up a plan to free Jim when they discover his whereabouts.
       Tom's plan is looking bad because Silas is guarding the hut. When they first spot Jim you can sense the friendship when he grabs there hands in the hut.
      Another greatly plan by Tom Sawyer is taking the wrong turn. Sally discovers the missing items and blames it on everything else but the boys. It's funny how the characters in the book underestimate the boys. Children can betray you too.
       This part of the book is where I realize that Tom is a little off... They snuck Jim out and the whole time, they didn't think of running away. Tom obviously doesn't care about anything, but Huck should be concerned about his friend. He's so obsessed with Tom that he forgets his other friend that is in danger!
       Due to Tom's new plan, the boys are im another predicament. The Phelps get men with guns to protect the family. Therefore, Huck, Tom, and Jim try to escape. Tom gets the armed men's attention and they fire at the three of them. Did Tom do this on purpose because the idea of getting shot or shot at excites him? When they get away, Tom is delighted by his souvenir. This kid is crazy!!!
       In the end, the three of them return to the Phelps and Jim is now a freed slave. Tom proves that he is a good friend by wanting to go back with people looking at Jim as a hero. He's still crazy though. Very crazy
