I am so sorry that I have posted this essay so late. I have met some problems when I was posting the essay to the blog. This is not the final jib of my essay. I know it has some places that may not make sense, but I can't say it out! If you can piont it out for me, I will be thankful!
Here is my eaasy:
We can have a lot of friendships through our lives, and there are lots of reasons that make one another person become friends with us—maybe because of getting together for a long time; maybe because he of she is fun and friendly so you want to become a friend of him or her; or maybe because of money. No matter what reasons made you to become friends with the others, you made the relationship called “friendship” with the others. Unlike the normal “friendship” in our life, in the book Adventure of Huckleberry Finn I found a great friendship between a white boy Huck and a black slave Jim.
In the book Adventure of Huckleberry Finn, Huck lives in the house of Ms. Widow and gets the beginning of the “normal” life. As Huck is boy who loves freedom and doesn’t want to in the fetter of “civilization”, he runs away from Ms. Widow and his pap. On the way of his escaping he meets Jim, who is an escaped slave; Huck, who is a really warm-heart boy, wants to help Jim, so they become companions on the way of their adventure. And their great friendship is found in this wonderful and exciting adventure.
In the friendship between them, we can see that they protect each other, they trust each other, and the most important thing is they treat each other equally. In their friendship, there are no “homeless” boy and running away slave, no white and black; it only has Huck and Jim.
In the adventure, they are treated equally. In Jim’s mind Huck is a smart kid that needs love and freedom, and in Huck’s mind Jim is a person who has a strong wanted of the freedom as he does. I think Jim for Huck is a friend that likes a father. Although Huck has done a lot of amazing things, he is still a child, he still needs someone to love him and care him. These things that Huck wants, Jim did them for Huck. Jim tells the things he knows to Huck; in order to protect Huck not falling into the river, Jim let Huck be saved behind him. Those are small things, but it can show that Jim protects and loves Huck just like a child of his. On the other hand, in order to let Jim’s dream, also his dream, come true, Huck does everything to save Jim from the people who are finding the running away slave or wanting to sale Jim. He lied to the people to save Jim.
In that time, black color and white color people just like the insects on the earth and the birds in the sky. They have been treated that they must live in two total different worlds—one has the right to give orders, and the other one only has the right to follow the orders. But this “theory” does work on Jim and Huck. Jim gets the courage to catch the freedom from Huck, and Huck also gets the sense of “human being” from Jim. Jim is a person that wants to escape the slave life, but also on the other hand, he can’t break through the “slave sense” in his mind. Huck gives Jim the courage! Huck does everything to let Jim gets the freedom he wants to have, and Jim step by step has the sure of fighting for his freedom. Also on the way of adventure, Huck heard lots of things from Jim—Jim’s life, Jim’s family, Jim’s dreams. Every little thing that Jim has told Huck let Huck realizes that black and white is not so difference as he has seen in the world. The black people also have the life as the white people have, and the only difference is just the position they have been put by the society. The blacks also human beings, they are the same as the whites.
In our world, we have been deposited so many senses about what we should do and what we should not do. Those senses limit our way of thinking about this world, because not all of them are correctly telling us the things we should do and should not do. In the friendship between Huck and Jim, we can see that if we throw out some “useless” senses, we can have a more wonderful life.

Hi, Im really sorry for just reviewing your essay...
ReplyDeleteWell I do like the introduction of your essay and I also agree with you in many pionts of views. You are right telling us that you struggle a bit with trying to let us know what you want to say but hey you try and so far so good. I like it. Youre topic is not a very essay one but i believe you have it under control.The characterization of Jim is not a piece of cake in this book and I do believe you have done a good job, describing the way he is in the book and how he is with Huck. I believe and if you follow along with an outline or a process your paper should come out pretty well.
You have summerize pretty well you thesis and your support and prove to it has been done by making mention of how he is in the book. The only thing you should focus a little bit more is in the critical thinking and reasoning part...
Good Luck, and I apologize once more for peer reviewing your essay so late... :(
hi, sorry for reading your essay late.
ReplyDeleteYou, have a really good thesis and you might want a say a true friendship.
You explanations are really good, you might want to add some examples from the book where Huck and Jim talk about their time together, or how Jim considers Huck his best friend.
You proved your thesis, and your points are very clear through all the paragraphs, good work!!
