the last chapters of Huck Finn

In the last chapters of Huck Finn you see how to tom getting Jim free is a advancer but doesn’t mean any thing for real but we are talking about someone’s freedom. I think for Huck’s age he did the best he could do but at times could have been better to help Jim. Huck who has been brought up in a society that slavery is acceptable and there is no respect for black this is a good ending and means Huck is a good person. But for the way the book ends Huck does not even tack notices that he helped Jim so it is also a bad ending for Huck and Jim as much as it is a good ending for there relationship. It is a good end to there journey down river in which Huck makes many moral decisions whether or not to help Jim which is good for there relationship but proves not strong enough at the end of the book.

I agree with you in the sense that the end was good and bad. You said it was good because it brought closure to their relationship, which I don't really agree with. It did bring closure but it did it too abruptly. Their relationship just kind of ended. I liked what you said about the bad ending too. How Huck didn't even recognize what he had done for Jim. Personally, I loved the book but hated the ending.

I agree with you that Huck has been raised in a environment where slaves are people who shouldn't cared about. Also, the ending is good and bad. It's bad cause Huck and Jim are ending their relationship but it was good cause it brought closure to their bond.
