Post 1: Huck Finn Response(Ch.1-Ch.12)

Huck Finn starts off at the beginning of the book living with the Widow Douglas.He moves in with his Pap who is abusive and is mistreated. He fakes his death with hope of escaping the torture. He escapes to Jackson Island and their he finds Jim. Him and Jim decide to runaway together.They travel together on a raft in hope of freedom.

This book so far is great. It is a little more interesting than Of Mice And Men.Of Mice and Men was a book that involved a lot of foreshadowing thus making it predictable. In contrast this book uses little to no foreshadowing.I like the detail that is given in each chapter to vividly describe what is going on. I dislike the fact that a racial term is constantly repeated.
