Freedom in this book specifically means freedom from society and its imperatives. Huck senses this truth when he mentions how other places feel so cramped and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft. He resents the objectives and beliefs and the so-called "civilized" people of the society around him. He disbelieves what societal beliefs have been ingrained in his mind since his birth, which is shown by his close friendship with Jim, a runaway slave. The river is the only form of separation from this society which Huck has access to, but it still does not completely separate them from what they disbel

appreciation of the quiet was an acquired taste and strengthens every time they return from an episode on the shore. Huck, however, did not always enjoy being on the raft and did not always appreciate its serenity.

Another appeal of the river is its peacefulness. Huck does not much seem to enjoy the company of other people, with the few exceptions of Jim, Tom Sawyer, and a couple of secondary characters such as Mary Jane Wilks. He likes to be free from the restrictions of others and be himself. He also seems to enjoy things quiet, which people do not tend to be. He mentions once when he and Jim anchor and watch the sun rise that there was "not a sound, anywheres -- perfectly still -- just like the whole world was asleep." With just himself and Jim on the raft, things surely would tend to be quiet more often than not because two people eventually run out of things to talk about, as opposed to the many mixed conversations of large company. He likes these quiet moments, which possibly last even days at a time, because at one point Huck says, "Two or three days and nights went by; I reckon I might say they swum by, they slid along so quiet and smooth and lovely." (96) This level of peace and!

My relationship with the river is not as close and complex as Huck is with the Mississippi. The river makes a big impact on the city of Casper. Not only is it the reason that the city originated here, but also it is the source of one of the biggest necessities of living, water. If it were not for the river there would not be any non-expensive and practical means of supplying water for the city. If a town does not have water then it can not flourish.

The river does not and hopefully will not affect my life as much as it did with Huck. I really do not interact with the river that much. Other than providing resources for the city, the direct effect does not have influence with me. But if you look at the things that effect us that are effected by the river is almost unthinkable. Overall the river is the basis of the town.

The river does hold some higher role than just water and mud; it is the center for most of the story. In contrast to the river's peaceful qualities and possible moral interpretations, the river is also a source of danger, and the threat is ever-present. There is the thr
