An adventure is an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity. In the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain, Huck goes on an adventure down the Mississippi River and has many experiences along the way. The book is about the journey Huck goes through, facing the challenges of living on a raft and constantly looking for food and money. Huck grows morally throughout the book as he meets different people and develops bonds with people he never thought would be possible. As Huck ventures throughout his physical journey, he also pursues a moral journey.
In the beginning of the book, Huck is fairly arrogant and does not have good morals. He lives in Missouri with his abusive father and does not have a mother. Huck's way of thinking is childish and heavily influenced by his father and the widow. By the middle of his journey his own morals start to change and he is able to identify right and wrong despite what society thinks. .
Huck also has an immature way of thinking, and is affected by the widow who tries to civilize him and pap. Pap does not want Huck to become educated and civilized, because he dislikes the idea of his own son being better than him. "I'll learn people to bring up a boy to put on airs over his own father and let on to be better 'n what he is." (p.20) Pap's decision affects Huck, because he can't decide for himself what he wants. His father constantly holds Huck back, and therefore Huck can't establish what's right and wrong. Because Huck is so restricted, he is childish in his thinking.
Huck Finn is a very dynamic character. In the novel, his opinions on slavery completely change. At first, Huck treats Jim very poorly. He plays pranks on him. This can be shown with the rattlesnake when they were on the island or when he acted like Jim had dreamed getting separated when they were in the fog in the river. But Huck comes to feel bad about these pranks.
