Huckleberry's journeys

Huck has been in so many places, just in the first few chapters. He has been in the Widow's house, ran away from the Widow's house and then came back. He then lives with Pap in a whole different environment than what he was used to when living with the widow. You really get a sense from all his moving and his attitudes from it that when he applies himself so to speak, he adapts really easily and likes the next place better than the last. When he first started off living with the Widow he hated all her rules and order, he was used to living on his own and not having any rules so he ran away "it was rough living in that house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and when i couldn't stand it no longer I lit out".(pg4) But eventually, he came back and changed even more, getting used to washing up, going to bed on time, and even enjoying going to school. "At first I hated the school, but by and by I got so I could stand it....I was sort of getting used to the widow's ways, too, and they warn't so raspy on me." (pg22)
I think that this book is about journeys but more that the character takes instead of the heroic battles and such. Odysseus' travel is mostly just a mission to get home, while Huckleberry's is more of a mission to find his home. Odysseus knew who he was and even though the Trojan war probably changed him in more ways than one Huckleberry is still trying to find his own sort of person and these places are adding to his change and development.
