For me, Huck is a really “true” human being. He can be true to face the other people and also to himself. He wants freedom, so he does everything fight for his freedom. He like to help people, so he uses every way he can use to survive and protect the people need to be helped. In my opinion, Huck has kept growing in his adventure. He has learned lots of things that he thought he can’t learn in the books. He gets to know more about the human beings, and he also has become more human beings. As he has his adventure with Jim, the things Jim told him make him has his “special” idea about white people and black people. At the beginning of his adventure, Jim for Huck is just a slaver who needs Huck’s help to run away. But on the way of his adventure, Huck finds that Jim is not only a slaver for the white people, Jim is also a human being as he does. When Jim told the stories about his life and his family, Huck gets more and more ideas about the race, about becoming a human being, and about the world they live in. Jim becomes more and more like a friend for Huck through the adventure, and Huck also tries his best to survive and protect Jim.
I love your idea! Period! You are on the right track!!
ReplyDeletethat is a great start for your essay. I couldn't think of anything like yours. I guess mostly you are going to talk about Huck as a human being. His adventures and encounters with others had shapened his human being level. Keep going.
ReplyDeleteYour main idea is talking about how Huck is a real human being, you could talk about how he is a real human being because he thinks for himself and doesn't accept the rules of white society. I think your ideas are good, how Huck, through his adventures and experiences, changes his mind about Jim and how his relationship brings up many questions about race, human beings and how people live their life. Good topic.
ReplyDeleteJia Lin, so Huck is a true human being as contrasted with other characters in the book? I think it's strong, but I would spend time thinking about counter arguments to your thesis. The better the counters, the better will be your points. If you can't develop good counters for your thesis, it may indicate that you need to strengthen your thesis.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great start...I like that you chose the topic but are branchung out a little differently...I like that you are focusing on the humane part of Huck for that is a huge part the plays through out the book. The fact the he has learned a lot through his adventures..Ithink your right on track..I would talk a little more about maybe why he has the intentions to survive the way he does... maybe point out things that he has expierneced from his past. Thanks hun!
ReplyDeleteyou have really good ideas, I also think that Huck had become more mature through this adventure. And Jim's words had helped in that change.
