Overview of the adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Huck Finn is presented as the narrator of the story. Begins in the home of "The widow" in Missouri,
where she and her sister Mademoiselle Watson intended to "civilize him". Trying to teach good
manners and religion and also want to send him to school. However, Huck passes the time with his
creative friend, Tom Sawyer, with whom he makes jokes to people as Jim, the slave of the Miss.
Watson. Interestingly, the two guys ignore, in general, to the fact that each of them has $6,000 that
was found in a cave. (This happened in the previous novel by Mark Twain,the adventures of Tom
Sawyer ).)

When Huck has a premonition, gives you all of your money to Judge Thacher, the magistrate. Then
his drunk and violent father returns to the village. So far, everyone had thought that he was dead,
but, unfortunately, it is not true. He demanded money to Huck, who is glad that his father did not
come a day earlier. Enraged and violent, his father threatens him a bit but then kidnaps him so that
the two can live in poverty near the river.

After a short time, Huck is fed up. He fakes his own death and goes to the island of Jackson to hide.
There he encounters with Jim, the slave of the Miss. Watson, who has fled to the island to avoid to
be sold to the South (and, consequently, be separated from his family). Jim is already a suspect in
the killing of Huck. They decide to elope to the mouth of the Ohio River, where Jim can escape to
free States (that is, States which do not allow slavery) and earn a little money with which can go
back and buy your family. Before you leave the island Jackson found a corpse but Jim does not
allow Huck to look at his face because it is too "gashly" ("gashly" is a pronunciation wrong
"ghastly", which is to say frightening).

Meanwhile, Huck makes some investigations in a nearby village, pretending to be a girl - and doing
it wrong. The two realize that soon will catch, then flee as soon as possible heading to Cairo, the
city where the river Mississippi meets the Ohio River. (See this map. The Ohio River makes a curve
to the North, and Huck and Jim begin in Missouri, next to the Mississippi River.)

The first true "adventure" occurs when the two found a steamer sunk during a storm. Huck rises and
meets three robbers, of which two are killing the third. You want to go for help, but their raft has
been unleashed, so now he and Jim are on the boat with two alleged killers and a nearly dead thief.
Huck and Jim manage to escape and seek help, but however the three robbers die on the steam.

Players fear pass Cairo - that is, too travel South on the Mississippi River - as Huck decides to go
down to find out where they are. While you are going towards the shore, realizes that helping Jim
escape, is stealing the property of Miss. Watson. A moral crisis is there, but at the end you can not
betray Jim. When he returns to the raft, the two realize if past Cairo because of the fog. A large
steam almost crushes them and make pieces of your raft. The two fall into the water.

Huck comes to the shore and the Grangerford, a rich and aristocratic family that is fighting with
other rich and aristocratic family, the Shepherson, hosts it. Meet Buck, the eldest son of the family
that has more or less the same age as Huck. One of the daughters Grangerford elopes with one of
the Shepherdson and marry, which increases the tension between the two families and results in a
firefight in which many lose their lives, including Buck. Huck presence this event, laments the
stupidity of men, again finds Jim and the two go on the raft.

Since they have lost out to the Ohio River, the new plan is that they will sell the raft and will use the
money to take a steamer to the North. Unfortunately, until they can do so, come two men fleeing the
law, or maybe a gang (but there isn't much difference between the two by these parties). Anyway,
Huck has a soft spot for criminals, welcomes them and gives them support.

What a bad idea. It turns out that men are scammers. They present themselves as the Duke (the
youngest and least bad man) and the King (the largest and worst man). Immediately begin to plan
his first scam (turns out that the two were unknown before and they were fugitives from justice at
the same time). First thing they do is poorly represent scenes from Shakespeare. They think to make
money doing it. Before a representation to take place in public, the King goes to the Bank and tima
money - almost ninety dollars - some credulous religious people. This type is not nothing nice.

Then they stop in Arkansas, where they witness a very strange scene. A drunken man called Bogue
is threatening a solemn and stoic man named Sherburn. Sherburn gives you a warning and then kills
him for being insolent, fastidious and, of course, for being drunk at noon. When a crowd comes
Lynch Sherburn, he tells them that they are cowards that they never lincharan a real man.
Interestingly, people are going without touching him a hair of your head.

Since this small incident is over, two swindlers can proceed with his interpretation of Shakespeare.
Unfortunately, they are in a small-town Arkansas Hamlet, as brilliant 16th century theatre can not
be appreciated. They decide to try a bit of comedy less cultured, but turns out that it is more like
two dumb idiots jumping for a few seconds. Somehow, two scammers manage to make their scam a
few more days, before escaping from the village with all money from tickets, leaving behind a
group of very angry people.

Then two scammers pretend to be the brothers of a man who died recently to try to gain his
inheritance. To achieve this scam they will deceive three lovely nieces, who most likes to Huck. He
ashamed of his role in the deception because it takes the bag that has the money of the estate
($6,000) and hides it in the coffin.... After the funeral, confesses all to the niece who likes (Mary
Jane) and the two make a plan. Then come the real brothers and a joke weapon. During a brawl in
the cemetery Huck manages to escape, but fails to leave the Duke and the King. Then, the four men
are way again.

The Duke and the King realize that do not have more money (lost money from his Shakespeare
swindle along with inheritance money) and while Huck is distracted the King sells to Jim. Then, the
King used all the money from the sale to buy whiskey. Huck leaves the two men to go get Jim in a
nearby farm owned by Silas Phelps. Sally, the wife of Silas, Huck mistaken for his nephew who
should come to visit. The nephew is... Tom Sawyer! Huck pretending to be his friend Tom and then
intercepted him when he arrives on the farm. Tom is happy to see his friend and know that he is not
dead. Tom pretends to be his younger brother, Sid Sawyer.

The two boys are Jim, to whom prisoner is kept in a nearby hut. They decide to release him but
Tom, is a young man, has a great imagination and want to do an event of this release. They build
several methods complicated leakage, for example, dig a tunnel instead of the door. Even worse,
Tom sent letters of warning to the House before the flight, so a group of farmers is monitoring the
hut that night and a shot hits Tom in the calf while the two boys are fleeing with Jim.

They reach the raft but may not abscond because of Tom wound. Jim hides in the bushes and Huck
is the canoe to seek help. As only one person fits into the canoe, Huck stays in the Bank while the
doctor goes to the raft. Then sleep by accident. You will reach the farm the next day and Sally
chides him for fleeing during the brawl. The next day Tom returns to the House in a mattress,
recovering from his wound. The doctor is with him and Jim is chained.

Men want to run to Jim, but the doctor says that it revealed itself to save the life of Tom when the
doctor needed another pair of hands. For this reason, they decide to enslave it rather than kill him.
Tom wakes up and tells the story of helping him escape and adults are horrified. Then reveals that
in reality Miss Watson freed Jim in her will for two months when he died, then the matter is
irrelevant.

Then becomes Polly, the sister of Sally, and reveals the true identities of the two boys. Jim is
released and he tells Huck that, by the way, dead man found makes some two hundred pages was
his father, and Huck does not have to worry about it again. Also, the $6,000 it has still to be used
when you want to. Huck decides to go to the West, where you can have more adventures.

In any case, remember that Tom, like Huck, is a child and as such is prone to practical jokes,
fantasies and games. Indeed, if religion is the widow of the church, and Jim is superstition,
"religion" Tom is literature. Constantly trying to emulate the books, plotting their plans according
to the stories you read. But Huck, he represents another set of rules, another instance of how
things should be. This, perhaps, satirizes the other systems of laws, such as religion, superstition
and even the laws of the country (such as slavery).
The idea is that when people are focused on obeying laws without question, dutifully obeying their
results, often these people lost. The same Tom sees things through to the end of the novel sees
that Jim is a separate person from his family and is forced to live in a prison to serve prototype
entertainment. And do not look good because he is too polite in his system of rules based on
books you've read, like the other characters in the novel are caught is their systems. Silas Phelps,
for example, is so polite to obey the rules about slavery (ie, in making Jim return to their "own
law") which also forget that Jim is a person and not a property.

Huck Finn se presenta como el narrador de la historia. Empieza en la casa de "La Viuda" en
Missouri, donde ella y su hermana la Srta. Watson pretenden "civilizarlo". Intentan ensearle
buenos modales y religin y mandarlo a la escuela tambin. Sin embargo, Huck pasa el rato con su
creativo amigo, Tom Sawyer, con quien hace bromas a personas como Jim, el esclavo de la Srta.
Watson. Interesantemente, los dos chicos no hacen caso, en general, al hecho de que cada uno de
ellos tiene $6.000 que encontraron en una cueva. (Esto sucedi en la novela anterior de Mark
Twain,Las aventuras de Tom Saywer.)

Cuando Huck tiene una premonicin, le da todo su dinero a Judge Thacher, el magistrado. Luego,
su padre borracho y violento vuelve al pueblo. Hasta ahora, todos haban pensado que estaba
muerto pero, por desgracia, no es verdad. Le exige el dinero a Huck, que se alegra de que su padre
no llegara un da antes. Enfurecido y violento, su padre lo amenaza un poco pero luego lo secuestra
para que los dos puedan vivir en pobreza cerca del ro.

Despus de poco tiempo, Huck est harto. Finge su propia muerte y va a la Isla de Jackson para
esconderse. All se tropieza con Jim, el esclavo de la Srta. Watson, que ha huido a la isla para evitar
ser vendido al Sur (y, por consecuencia, ser separado de su familia). Jim ya es un sospechoso en el
homicidio de Huck. Deciden fugarse a la desembocadura del ro Ohio, donde Jim puede escaparse a
los estados libres (es decir, los estados en los que no se permite la esclavitud) y ganar un poco de
dinero con el cual puede volver y comprar a su familia. Antes de irse de la Isla Jackson encuentran
un cadver pero Jim no permite que Huck mire su cara porque es demasiado "gashly" ("gashly" es
una pronunciacin equivocada de "ghastly", que quiere decir espantoso).

Mientras tanto, Huck hace unas investigaciones en una aldea cercana, fingiendo ser una chica y
hacindolo mal. Los dos se dan cuenta de que pronto los van a pillar, pues huyen lo ms rpido
posible con rumbo a Cairo, la ciudad donde el ro Misisip se junta con el ro Ohio. (Vase este
mapa. El ro Ohio es el que hace una curva hacia el norte y Huck y Jim empiezan en Missouri, al
lado del ro Misisip.)

La primera "aventura" verdadera ocurre cuando los dos encuentran un vapor naufragado durante
una tormenta. Huck sube y se encuentra con tres ladrones, de los cuales dos estn matando al
tercero. Quiere ir por ayuda pero su balsa se ha desatado, de modo que ahora l y Jim estn en el
barco con dos supuestos asesinos y un ladrn casi muerto. Huck y Jim logran escapar y buscan
ayuda pero sin embargo los tres ladrones mueren en el vapor.

Los protagonistas temen pasar Cairo es decir, viajar demasiado al sur en el ro Misisip pues
Huck decide bajar para averiguar dnde estn. Mientras va hacia la orilla, se da cuenta de que en
ayudar a Jim a escaparse, est robando la propiedad de la Srta. Watson. Experimenta una crisis
moral pero al final no puede traicionar a Jim. Cuando vuelve a la balsa, los dos se dan cuenta de
haber pasado Cairo a causa de la neblina. Un gran vapor casi los aplasta y hace pedazos de su balsa.
Los dos se caen al agua.

Huck llega a la orilla y los Grangerford, una familia aristcrata y rica que est peleando con otra
familia aristcrata y rica, los Shepherson, lo acoge. Conoce a Buck, el hijo mayor de la familia que
tiene ms o menos la misma edad que Huck. Una de las hijas Grangerford se fuga con uno de los
Shepherdson y se casan, lo cual aumenta la tensin entre las dos familias y resulta en un tiroteo en
el que muchos pierden la vida, inclusive Buck. Huck presencia este acontecimiento, lamenta la
estupidez de los hombres, encuentra a Jim de nuevo y los dos salen en la balsa.

Ya que han perdido la salida para el ro Ohio, el nuevo plan es que van a vender la balsa y usarn el
dinero para tomar un vapor hacia el norte. Desafortunadamente, antes de que puedan hacerlo, llegan
dos hombres que estn huyendo de la ley, o a lo mejor de una pandilla (pero no hay mucha
diferencia entre las dos por estas partes). De todos modos, Huck tiene una debilidad por los
criminales, los acoge y les da ayuda.

Que mala idea. Resulta que los hombres son estafadores. Se presentan como el Duque (el hombre
ms joven y menos malo) y el Rey (el hombre mayor y peor). Inmediatamente, empiezan a planear
su primera estafa (resulta que los dos no se conocan antes y que eran prfugos de la justicia a la
misma vez). Lo primero que hacen es representar muy mal unas escenas de Shakespeare. Piensan
ganar dinero hacindolo. Antes de que tenga lugar una representacin en pblico, el Rey va a la
ribera y tima mucho dinero casi noventa dlares de unas personas religiosas crdulas. Este tipo
no es nada amable.

Luego se paran en Arkansas, donde presencian una escena muy extraa. Un borracho que se llama
Bogas est amenazando a un hombre solemne y estoico que se llama Sherburn. Sherburn le da una
amonestacin y luego lo mata por ser insolente, fastidioso y, claro, por estar borracho al medioda.
Cuando una muchedumbre trata de linchar a Sherburn, l les dice que son cobardes que nunca
lincharan a un verdadero hombre. Interesantemente, la gente se va sin tocarle ni un pelo de la
cabeza.

Ya que ese pequeo incidente ha terminado, los dos estafadores pueden proceder con su
interpretacin de Shakespeare. Desafortunadamente, se encuentran en una aldea pueblerina de
Arkansas, pues el brillante teatro del siglo XVI no se puede apreciar. Deciden intentar un poco de
comedia menos culta, pero resulta que es ms como dos imbciles mudos brincando por unos
segundos. De alguna forma, los dos estafadores logran hacer su timo unos das ms, antes de
escaparse de la aldea con todo el dinero de las entradas, dejando atrs a un grupo de gente muy
enojada.

Luego los dos estafadores fingen ser los hermanos de un hombre que muri recientemente para
intentar obtener su herencia. Para lograr este timo tienen que engaar a tres sobrinas muy amables,
de quienes la mayor le gusta mucho a Huck. l se avergenza de su papel en el engao pues toma la
bolsa que tiene el dinero de la herencia ($6.000) y la escondeen el atad. Despus del entierro,
confiesa todo a la sobrina que le gusta (Mary Jane) y los dos hacen un plan. En ese momento llegan
los hermanos verdaderos y se arma un relajo. Durante una reyerta en el cementerio Huck logra
escaparse pero no logra dejar a El Duque y el Rey. Entonces, los cuatro hombres estn de camino
otra vez.

El Duque y el Rey se dan cuenta de que no tienen ms dinero (perdieron el dinero de su timo de
Shakespeare junto con el dinero de la herencia) y mientras Huck est distrado el Rey vende a Jim.
Luego, el Rey usa todo el dinero de la venta para comprar whiskey. Huck deja a los dos hombres
para ir a buscar a Jim en una finca cercana cuyo dueo es Silas Phelps. Sally, la esposa de Silas,
confunde a Huck con su sobrino que debera venir a visitar. Dicho sobrino esTom Sawyer! Huck
finge ser su amigo Tom y luego lo intercepta cuando llega en la finca. Tom se alegra de ver a su
amigo y de saber que no est muerto. Tom finge ser su hermano menor, Sid Sawyer.

Los dos muchachos encuentran a Jim, a quien se mantiene prisionero en una choza cercana.
Deciden liberarlo pero Tom, como es un joven, tiene una gran imaginacin y quiere hacer un evento
de esta liberacin. Construyen varios mtodos complicados de fuga, por ejemplo, cavar un tnel en
vez de usar la puerta. Aun peor, Tom manda unas cartas de aviso a la casa antes de la huida, as que
un grupo de granjeros est vigilando la choza esa noche y un tiro le pega a Tom en la pantorrilla
mientras los dos chicos estn huyendo con Jim.

Llegan a la balsa pero no pueden fugarse a causa de la herida de Tom. Jim se esconde en los
arbustos y Huck va en la canoa para buscar ayuda. Como slo una persona cabe en la canoa, Huck
se queda en la orilla mientras el mdico va a la balsa. Luego se duerme por accidente. Llega a la
finca el da siguiente y Sally lo reprende por huir durante la reyerta. Al prximo da Tom regresa a
la casa en un colchn, reponindose de su herida. El mdico est con l y Jim est encadenado.

Los hombres quieren ejecutar a Jim pero el mdico dice que l se revel para salvar la vida de Tom
cuando el mdico necesitaba otro par de manos. Por esto, deciden esclavizarlo en vez de matarlo.
Tom se despierta y cuenta la historia de ayudarle a escaparse y los adultos estn horrorizados.
Luego revela que en realidad la Srta. Watson liber a Jim en su testamento hace dos meses cuando
muri, entonces el asunto es irrelevante.

Entonces llega Polly, la hermana de Sally, y revela las identidades verdaderas de los dos chicos. Jim
es liberado y l le dice a Huck que, a propsito, el hombre muerto que encontraron hace unas
doscientas pginas era su padre, y Huck no tiene que preocuparse de que vuelva. Tambin, tiene los
$6.000 todava para usarlos cuando quiera. Huck decide ir al Oeste, donde puede tener ms
aventuras.
