        <description><![CDATA[To me, what Huck Finn knows about himself at the end of the book is what he knew about himself at the beginning.  It's the idea that he is not cut out for life in the somewhat hypocritical world of civilization.
At the end of "Tom Sawyer," Huck had run away from the Widow Douglas because she was trying to civilize him after he had gotten rich. At the end of this book, Huck is once again planning to run away.  This time he's planning to run...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[While Jim and Huck are floating downstream on their raft, a steamboat hits them and damages the raft.  Huck ends up on shore and runs into the Grangerfords who think he might be one of their enemies, the Shepherdsons.  When they find out he isn't, they take him in.  Meanwhile, Jim hides in a swamp and repairs the raft.
Huck goes back to the church because Sophia Grangerford asks him to go back and get her "testament."  But she's really...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The confrontation you mention happens in Chapter 21 of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."
Huck is with the "king" and the "duke" in a little town in Arkansas.  While there, he sees Boggs ride in to town to get drunk as he often does.
For whatever reason, Boggs starts to talk about killing Colonel Sherburn.  The colonel threatens to kill Boggs if Boggs does not stop.  Boggs keeps threatening and the townspeople decide that things are...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The theme of chapter 12 is mind your own business and don't let your curiosity lead you to get involved in a dangerous situation. In chapter 12, Huck and Jim encounter a heavy rain. They see that a boat is hung up on a rock. It is a steamboat. Jim says not to bother because they might get into trouble. However Huck doesn't take heed. Instead, he investigates. This causes a lot of trouble because Huck overhears a conversation between two men on...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In one of the funniest episodes of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Twain satirizes Tom's romanticizing the idea of Jim's "escape" from prison by having Jim subjected to rats and snakes in his prison and by creating notes from gangs that want to steal Jim. Then in Chapter XL:
I. Tom and Huck continue their plans
    A.  Huck and Tom go on a picnic after finishing their last note. At the river, they check out the raft and make sure...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Huckleberry Finn's view of human nature is that humanity in all its levels is fallible and not to be trusted at face value. Huckleberry's father was irresponsible to the extreme with Huckleberry and with Huck's education. A drunkard and violent drifter, he left Huck to fend for himself in more ways than a few. As a result, Huck had no academic or moral upbringing to speak of.Further, when Huck is taken in by Widow Douglas who gives him some...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Huck fakes his own death by using the blood from a pig that he's killed.  He does this for two reasons:
1.  Huck has always (in this book and in "Tom Sawyer") been a free spirit who likes to live life his own way -- sleeping in barrels, not going to school, etc.  But at the end of "Tom Sawyer," the Widow Douglas has taken him in and wants to "civilize" him.  Faking his death is a way...]]></description>
