Summary

"Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain is a story set in the American South before the Civil War that follows a boy named Huckleberry Finn as he wrestles with what it means to be free and good in a world full of rules. The story starts with Huck, who remembers when he had prior adventures with Tom Sawyer, feeling trapped by people trying to make him proper and running away from his mean father; Huck meets Jim, a slave escaping to freedom, and together they travel down the Mississippi River encountering different people opening Huck's eyes to right from wrong, told with a funny voice that makes you think about what's fair and what isn't.
