Analysis of 'The adventures of Huckleberry Finn' by M.Twain part2

Chapter 1

Huck & Tom tiptoe through the Widow's garden. Huck trips on a root as he passes by the kitchen, and Jim, alone, hears him. Jim wishes to discover the source of the sound, but after several minutes, he falls asleep. Jim tells everyone that some witches flew him around and he becomes a local celebrity who enjoys witch stories.

Meanwhile, Tom & Huck meet up with some boys and take a boat to a cave. Tom names his new band of robbers "Tom Sawyer's Gang" and promises to kill the family of any member who reveals the gang's secrets. Tom tells the group that a ransom isn't to be killed but should be kept. They agree to meet again someday, and Huck returns to his home.

Chapter 6

Pap forces Huck to follow him in the wood and continues to threaten Huck about attending school. Huck continues to attend, partly to spite his father. One day, he kidnaps Huck, and Pap locks Huck inside all day, while he rambles outside. Eventually, he can escape making a hole in the wall, but Pap returns as Huck is about to break free.

Pap complains that Judge Thatcher has delayed the trial to prevent him from getting Huck’s wealth, but he lost the fight for the custody of Huck. Pap wakes from a drunken sleep and chases Huck with a knife, calling him "the Angel of Death".

Chapter 7

Pap wakes up and looks if Huck has caught any fish for the day. Huck finds a canoe and hides in the woods where Pap gets to. Huck puts food and everything else of value from the cabin into the canoe. He then covers up the hole he cut in the wall and makes other preparations to make it seem as if robbers have broken into the cabin and killed him. Huck pays to this canoe and waits for the moon to rise, planning to paddle to Jackson’s Island out in the river.

Chapter 8

The next morning, a ferryboat passes Jackson Island, carrying Pap, the Judge, Tom Sawyer, all accusing Huck's apparent murder. They shoot cannonballs into the water in hopes of finding Huck’s corpse.

Huck feels guilty that his disappearance has worried the Widow Douglas and others who care about him. Huck spends lonely days on the island. On the fourth day, while exploring the island, Huck is delighted to find Jim, who thinks Huck is a ghost. Huck is glad to not be alone on the island. Tom says he overheard his Watson discussing selling his money to a slave trader who would take him to New Orleans.
