       A quest is a journey of exploration and discovery, and nothing could be truer than Huck's voyage down the Mississippi River in Mark Twain's landmark novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Virtually the entire novel is an adventure of youthful pursuit, and Huck learns new details about the human experience at every stop. From his stop on Jackson's Island to his escape with Jim to the meeting of the Duke and the Dauphin, Huck encounters new troubles and finds ways to get out of them. In the end, he finds that civilization and loving friends aren't so bad after all--a final realization of enlightenment: the result of any good quest.
