read a book by the name of was written by Mark Twain, and he holds the truths mainly. Not all YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT ME UNLESS YOU HAVE The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. That book parts of the story are true, but most of it is. I don’t know anyone who tells the truth all the time, except perhaps Aunt Polly or the Widow Douglas or Tom Sawyer’s sister, Mar...
TOM AND I WALKED QUIETLY ALONG A PATH AMONG THE TREES. When we passed near the Widow’s kitchen, I fell and made a noise. We lay very still. Miss Watson’s black slave, Jim, was sitting in the kitchen door. We could see him clearly because there was a light behind him. He stood up and asked, “Who’s there?” Jim stood listening, then walked toward us. ...
MISS WATSON WAS VERY ANGRY WITH ME IN THE MORNING BECAUSE of the dirt on my clothes, but the Widow wasn’t. She was very sad and unhappy, though, as she cleaned my clothes. Because I didn’t want her to feel sad, I promised to be good and do things to make her feel proud of me. Then Miss Watson told me to pray every day, and that whatev er I asked fo...
THREE OR FOUR MONTHS PASSED, AND WINTER ARRIVED. I WENT TO school almost every day and was learning to read and write and spell. The teacher was also trying to teach me mathematics, but I knew even if I studied forever, I would never learn mathematics. At the beginning, I hated school very much, but after a while, I hated it less. Whenever I began ...
I CLOSED THE DOOR. I TURNED AROUND, AND THERE HE WAS. I EXPECTED to be frightened of him now, but I wasn’t. Pap was nearly fifty years old. His black hair was long and un combed and dirty. He had allowed hair to grow on his face, and where his skin showed, the skin was a sickly white. Just looking at the ugly white skin made me feel sick. His cloth...
PAP AGAIN WENT TO COURT TO TRY TO FORCE JUDGE THATCHER TO give him my money. He also tried to stop me from attending school. When he saw me going to school, he would catch me and beat me. But continued to go to school, and tried to prevent Pap from seeing me. wasn’t happy going to school before, but now I went because I knew that it made Pap unhapp...
“STAND UP! WHY ARE YOU ASLEEP?” opened my eyes and looked around. I could see Pap standing over me looking very angry—and sick, too. “Why are you holding that gun?” he asked. knew that Pap had forgotten all that had occurred the night before. I answered, “Someone tried to get into the cabin last night. I took the gun to protect us.” “You should hav...
THE SUN WAS HIGH IN THE SKY WHEN I AWAKENED. I LAY IN THE GRASS in the cool shade of some large trees. I felt very comfortable and planned to wait before I cooked my breakfast. While I lay under the trees, I heard the distant sound of a large gun being shot across the water. I sat up and listened. I heard the sound again. Then a third time. A large...
WANTED TO EXPLORE THE MIDDLE OF THE ISLAND WHERE I HAD SEEN high hill. Jim and I had a difficult time climbing to the top of the hill because it was covered with bushes growing close together. Near the top, we found a cave in the rocks. It was as big as two or three rooms, and Jim could stand up straight in it. Jim suggested that we hide the canoe ...
THE FOLLOWING DAY I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE DEAD MAN AND why he was murdered, but Jim refused. He said that talking about the murder would cause bad luck. I said no more about this, but continued to think about the dead man and wished that I knew who had shot him and why. I searched through the pockets of the old clothes we had taken from the floa...
WE TIED THE CANOE TO THE RAFT WITH A ROPE AND FLOATED SLOWLY, very slowly, on the quiet river. If we heard anyone following us, we planned to jump into the canoe and row for the shore. We were in such a hurry to leave the island that we had not put any supplies into the canoe. This was not a good plan, but we didn’t have the time to think of a good...
WHEN I HEARD JIM’S WORDS, I COULD HARDLY BREATHE. WE WERE caught on a sinking boat with a group of murderers! I had no time to stand there worrying. We had to find the boat that belonged to the three men. We got down on our hands and knees and moved very, very slow ly along the slanted deck. Jim said that he was too frightened to move, but I forced...
WHEN WE AWOKE, JIM AND I EXAMINED THE SUPPLIES THAT WE FOUND in the small boat belonging to the three men. We found heavy shoes, blankets, clothes, books, tobacco—all kinds of things that the men had stolen. Neither Jim nor I had ever owned this much before. We sat all afternoon, talking. I told Jim what I had heard inside the sinking boat and how ...
JIM AND I PLANNED TO TRAVEL TO THE CITY OF CAIRO, AT THE SOUTH ern tip of Illinois. The Ohio River joins the Mississippi River at Cairo. We planned to sell our raft there and use the money to pay to travel north on the Ohio River to the Free States. Once Jim reached the Free States in the North, he would be a free man and would not have to worry ab...
WE SLEPT MOST OF THE DAY AND STARTED TRAVELING AGAIN THAT night. We talked about Cairo and wondered if we would recognize it when we reached it. I said that we might not recognize it in the dark because I had been told that it was a small town with no more than a dozen houses. Jim said that we would surely be able to recognize where a river as larg...
A MAN’S HEAD APPEARED AT A WINDOW AND HE SHOUTED, “WHO are you?” “It’s me—George Jackson.” “What do you want?” “Nothing, sir. I want to walk past your house, but your dogs won’t allow me.” “Why are you outside so late at night?” “I fell into the river from the deck of that large boat you may have seen. I’m only a boy. I don’t intend to harm anyone....
COLONEL GRANGERFORD WAS A GENTLEMAN, A COMPLETE GENTLE man. He and his family were members of the upper class of the South. In our town, the Widow Douglas was thought to be a member of the upper class, while Pap was from the very lowest class. But the Granger fords were members of a much higher class than the Widow. Colonel Grangerford was very tal...
TWO OR THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS PASSED; ACTUALLY THEY MOVED along quiet and smooth and lovely. The river was very wide; sometimes a mile and a half wide. We traveled at night and hid during the day. When we saw the first signs of early morning, we would tie the raft to shore and cover it with branches. Then we would fish and have a swim in the river t...
“To the bitter death!” He took the old man’s hand in his and said, “That secret of yours—speak!” “Bridgewater, I’m the Dauphin.” Jim and I stared. The duke said, “You’re who?” “Yes, my friend, it’s true. Your eyes are looking this very moment at the long lost Dauphin, Louis the Seventeenth, son of Louis the Sixteenth and Marie Antoinette.” “But you...
THE TWO MEN ASKED JIM AND ME MANY QUESTIONS. THEY WANTED to know why we hid the raft and why we never traveled in the daytime. Traveling at night was far more difficult and dangerous than traveling during the day, and they suspected that we were hiding for some rea son. Finally, they asked if Jim was a runaway slave. “Would a runaway slave run sout...
DAYLIGHT CAME, BUT WE CONTINUED TO TRAVEL. IT WAS THE FIRST time that Jim and I had traveled during the daytime. After breakfast, the king sat on a corner of the raft, took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, and let his legs hang in the water. When he was nicely comfortable, he began to read Shakespeare’s play, “Romeo and Juliet.” He was learni...
THE CROWD OF MEN MOVED SLOWLY AND STEADILY TOWARD SHERBURN’S house, shouting and screaming, “Hang him! Hang him!” Children were pushed out of the way. Women’s faces appeared at every window, eager to see what the crowd would do. Many women and girls were cry ing, frightened by the thought of what would happen next. The men stood shoulder to shoulde...
“There,” said the duke, “if that last line doesn’t bring them to the show, I don’t know Arkansas!” p T h e K i n g ’ s
ALL DAY, THE DUKE AND THE KING WORKED TO BUILD A STAGE WITH a curtain and a row of candles for footlights. That night the house was filled with men coming to see the show. The duke came onto the stage in front of the curtain and made a little speech. He praised the show and said that it was the most exciting one that ever was. He told how Edmund Ke...
WE TRAVELED ALL THE NEXT DAY AND STOPPED FOR THE NIGHT IN A section of the river where there was a town on either shore. The duke and the king again began to plan how they would trick the people in those towns. Jim said that he hoped that they would not stay away from the raft a long time because he was tired of having to be tied up with ropes and ...
WHEN THE PEOPLE HAD LEFT, THE KING ASKED MARY JANE IF THERE was room for us to sleep in her house. She said that she had a spare room for Uncle William, a very small room that I could use, and that she would be happy for Uncle Harvey to sleep in her room. She would move into the room that her sisters shared. We went upstairs with her and she showed...

Aug 1, 2021 · One of the great American novels, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn tells the story of Huck Finn and his travels with Jim, an escaped slave. Roundly criticised by contemporary reviewers for its colorful and literal language and even banned by several libraries, it sealed its historical importance in part by being one of the first novels to be written entirely in American vernacular.
