Details
Huck is the neglected son of the town drunk and is given a home with spinsters. They want to "civilize" him above the level of poor white trash which means bathing regularly, going to school. Huck decides to run away and take a runaway slave, Jim with him. They ride down the Mississippi River on a raft. Jim not as interested in freedom as much as he is in taking care of his family. Huck is conflicted because he's stealing an old woman's property. In the end, the woman dies, giving Jim his freedom and Huck's father dies, so he no longer needs to run. #1472
