Huck Finn's Journey in Comparison to Mine
I believe that Huck Finn's journeys and changes in homes are different to mine because of the lack of structure in his journey. I have a home and my only goal is to return home and to a family that I have left to fight a war and go on an unexpected and long journey. Huck on the other hand, does not have a family to return to, rather going somewhere in hopes of finding one. Miss Watson’s sivilized home, Tom Sawyer’s gang, Pap’s place, some of these places he had no control over and did not have any sense of direction due to his lack of control, which led to resentment either by the place’s social reformation or by the past that he has had with it. Miss Watson’s house was based too much of social approval and conformity than Huck could bear, and Pap’s place was filled with an abusive past that clearly has not changed especially after Pap’s jealousy of Huck and his higher education. It is obvious that after a comment by Pap to take Huck “down a peg” that Huck will not share a home with Pap for long and his journey will continue.
