Huck Discussion Question XL – Chapter the last


1.     Jim is extremely kind towards Tom. He puts his friends in front of him. He is very grateful to them because they helped him so now he want to return the pleasure. Jim is a human like all the others, he show friendship, love, brave and strength in pursuing a goal too.
2.     A doctor is generally a very respectable person. The doctor that advocates Jim’s cause makes people behave differently towards Jim. People trust the doctor and accept Jim. I thinks that’s  good thing but however people should more thing with their mind. Jim is always the same Jim, with or without the doctor. People hardly trust others, it’s always needed a recommendation.
3.     The bullet represents Tom’s deed and the boy does a necklace with it to show it everyone as a prize. Tom has finally realized his dream to live and extreme adventures as a main character and survive.
4.     In the end of the novel Huck goes looking for more exciting adventures. Huck doesn’t fell part of the society and he doesn’t want to be either. So he escapes, following his freedom going to next adventurous experience.
5.     The fact that the book is told in first person let the reader identify himself in the character and live the adventures as he really faces them. The only deficit is that the facts are always told by the same point of view, there is no space for other prospective because Huck isn’t omniscient, so he can’t know everything but only what happens to him, lived by himself, so with his emotions and feelings. Having an omniscient narrator probably would have given the reader an idea more completed on all the story, let him know about the most particular details and the opinions of more character.
