All in all, Jim is set free and seen a gentlemen. Jim was being pampered by the family and received $40 dollars from Tom for being patient as a prisoner. Jim again became rich just like he said on Jackson Island. In the end of the story Huck finds out by Jim that his father had been killed and that was why he hasn't gone to gone to take his money. Jim told Huck that when they found the house by the river, the dead man inside was his father.
In the end it came out to be a happy and sad ending. Happy because everyone received something in the end. Jim was finally set free legally, Tom gets his adventure, and Huck gets to have a family again. It was sad because Huck finds out his father has been dead for a long time. Even though Huck's dad wouldn't be considered as having the best dad award, Huck still had feeling for him. I wonder how Huck and Tom will act when they grow up. Who knows how their adventures go from their. I can see them looking back on their childhood and seeing all their adventures and mistakes. This was a good book in the end.

Tom told Aunt Silas about how him and Huck helped Jim escape. Aunt Silas couldn't believe what "Sid" was saying. She then realized that what he was saying was true. Tom's Aunt Polly then showed up, ans she saw Tom in bed. Then the truth came out, about Huck and Tom. Aunt Polly had pointed out that "Sid" was in reality Tom and that "Tom" was really Huck Finn. Every lye came out Tom also said that Old Miss Watson died two months ago and that in her will she set Jim free. Aunt Silas asked why then he went to all the trouble of escaping Jim, and Tom said because he wanted an adventure.
Well at least now Huck and Tom could stop pretending to be someone else. The truth came out and everyone was o.k with it, that's great. I'm glad that no one criticized Huck for his past actions, with his false death. Poor Miss Watson died before knowing that Huck was still alive. I wonder if Huck feels bad at all. In a good thing Jim is officially a free person, he gets to start a new life. Jim can be happy now, no more wondering or fearing of getting caught and left behind.

Huck, I mean "Tom," and the doctor waited for "Sid," a.k.a Tom to show up. "Tom" went to where "Sid" told him to meet him. "Sid" didn't show up and the doctor said that it would be best to go home and wait to see if he showed up their. "Tom" and the doctor went home, and Aunt Sally was waiting for him. She was glad to see him come back, she had been really worried about him. She had asked "Tom" were he had been, "Tom" told her some of the truth, so he didn't feel so guilty. Aunt Sally told him he was dumb for risking his life for Jim. Aunt Sally later noticed that "Sid" was missing and so she asked "Tom" were "Sid" was. Huck didn't know what to say, he was too nervous. I wonder where Tom could have gone and if he is alright. Hopefully he is not struggling all by himself, he should just stayed there. Stubborn little boy, always wants things done his way. I hope doesn't get into any more trouble. Poor Aunt Sally the boys are always making cry and get worried. They should do something nice for her after their done playing jokes on her and stop making her worry.

Huck and Tom were finally going about their plan to rescue Jim. Everything was going according to the plan and then all of sudden, the other men come in because the heard a noise. Tom tells Huck and Jim to be quite and not to move, but Jim accidentally snapped the splinter. The men hear the noise and then Huck, Jim, and Tom runaway. The men start firring away, Huck, Tom, and Jim keep running even with bullets flying all around them. They made it away from getting caught. They were all glad to get Jim out of there so that he could be a free man again. Then all of sudden Tom leg starts bleeding, he had gotten shot. Tom was prod of it, but then the pain got to him. Huck was worried and so he went to go get help.
I can picture this whole scene, the adrenaline they must have been going to. Thinks that they might get caught. That was crazy. Imagine yourself running trying to escape from men with guns, and bullets just flying all around you. Crazy, your lucky if you don't get shot at, poor Tom. Well at least this could be a story he could tell his kids in the future, his childhood life.

Huck and Tom were both playing tricks on Aunt Sally. Scaring her to death, she can't even turn or walk without saying "ouch." She thinks someone is after her. That's funny and sad for Aunt Sally. The boys latter received an unanimous latter saying that a gang of Indians is after Jim and that they should beware. That's creepy receiving a letter like that, you can't even tell if they are warning you to do something of to be scared. But they at least send in a warning, that should be something. I would be panicking if I ever received a letter like this. I would be mad if this letter was a fake. I'd be mad because of how sacred the letter would leave me and happy at the same time because the letter was all false.

Huck and Tom went back home, before anyone realized that they were missing. When they came Aunt Silas was counting off all the shirts, sheets, spoons, and candles. She had noticed that their were things missing. So she counted them again and again. Tom and Huck started taking items and putting them back until she forgot how many items she had. Later on Huck and Tom finally finished the pie. It took them a couple of times but they got it right.
That's funny how they were playing around with their aunt tricking her into forgetting how many items of each thing they were stilling she had. Can you imagine yourself counting every item in your kitchen one day and the next having counted it again but ending up with a different number. That's a lot of time to waste. Anyways at least the boy are learning how to bake. That great.

Tom and Huck finally got a chance to see Jim. They told Jim all about their plan to help him escape. After that Tom, Huck, and Jim were catching up with one another, talking about what had been going on since they last saw each other. Jim was happy, like always to see Huck and Tom. Tom tough it would be a good idea to give Jim supplies by putting them inside his food. Just like how they do it in jail, in order for that person to get something. Ahahahaha, that's so funny, Tom cracks me up. I really hope that it won't take years to get Jim out from that place, the maximum should a couple of months.

Tom and Huck stopped arguing and got to working on escaping Jim. Tom said it would take thirty seven years to get Jim out. Once they saw how hard of a job it is to dig Jim out, Huck said that it would be a thirty-eight years. Wow, that's a long time to bail someone. That would suck, you waiting and waiting to make your escape, thirty seven/eight years later, your really old. I don't think it would be worth it if you were to wait that long. Why not just use a shovel instead of a spoon, its better than getting a blister. Poor Jim if he were to wait that long, he might just die before he escapes.

Huck and Tom went to the peace where Jim was being kept at. They started taking to the man who had Jim. Soon enough he let Huck and Tom go in where Jim was being kept. Jim was happy to see them, and Huck and Tom Had a chance to tell Jim, that they were going to help him escape. They were giving Jim a heads up, about them making noises at night to help him escape. Well its confirmed that Jim is their, Huck and Tom have a plan. Though Tom's ideas are a little bit crazy but adventures, Huck and Tom are once again together like the old days. Now we just have to see how the story will go on from their. Hopefully it goes in a positive direction.

Huck and Tom were trying to figure out where Jim could be. Tom remembered seeing a black man on his way to the house. Huck and Tom went in search of Jim. They discussed a plan together to see how they could help Jim escape. They started digging a hole under the fence. Wow! The story just took a big turn. Going from pretending to be dead and then going up the river and all of sudden your best friend is back in your life. Not only that but he is o.k with you faking your death and starting a new life. This keeps getting interesting. I wonder how long Huck and Tom are going to be together. And how long it would take Tom's family to figure out Huck is not Tom, but for right now I'm glad their together again.

Huck went off to search for Jim. His plan to trick the duke had worked, leaving him with a day without work. So Huck left, in search of Jim were the duke said he was. Huck made it to a different town. He arrived at a farm, where he met Tom's aunt. She thought Huck was Tom, and was wondering when he would arrived. She told him that he didn't look like his mom. She started asking him questions, and just went along with him.
I wonder weather or Huck and Jim will ever see each other again. Also, I wonder if the Tom they are talking about is Huck's best friend. And if it is, then what will happen when he arrives? Maybe Huck and Tom will reunite.

Huck felt bad about what had happened to Jim, so he wrote a letter to Miss Watson, explaining where Jim was. Huck felt good after he wrote the letter but he started to remember that Jim was his only friend. Jim made Huck laugh and sing. Huck thought about it better and ripped the letter he had written. Huck found the duke posting up some flyer's and asked him what had happened to the raft and Jim. The duke thought that Huck had run off. Later the duke told Huck that the king and him had sold Jim to get some money, but the king never split the money with him.
When Jim found out that it was the king and duke that had sold Jim, he got so mad that they would sell him for money. I would be pissed off to, i mean why would sell someone in order to receive money. I find that disgusting. People could be so cruel, even if they did live in that time period. A person is a person no matter what color or race they are! I really hope that Huck finds Jim.

Huck and Jim went to a different town, but before that they were sailing in the draft far away from the last town they were in. Huck went off with the duke and king to see the town and try to make some money. Huck made an escape from them and and then called out for Jim to tell him they got rid of the king and the duke. There was no answer from Jim. Huck went wondering around searching for Jim. Huck asked this boy who saw Jim and said he'd been walking around and got caught by two man. The boy said that he was wanted and that their was a reward for his capturing. The man who captured Jim received forty dollars. Huck felt bad that it was his fault Jim was a wanted man.
Things you don't expect to happen when you least expected. People finally caught Jim and this made Huck want to try to send a letter to his previous owner explaining that he was alive and what had happened to Jim. Jim's arrest was bring back Huck questions about his old life and memories he had about his old friends and family. He thought that if he told everyone the truth they would hate him and send him to jail for helping a black person become free. Huck felt guilt but also happiness that he wouldn't have to hide Jim anymore and that he would go back home.

When it was time for the two new men, who are proclaiming to be Harvey and William Wilks, to sign the document, "Harvey says that he couldn't because is the one who does both signatures. Everyone did not believe him, they thought he was lying. But then Harvey pulled out a document that had the same signature as the other paper. The doctor and the Lawyer said that they knew that the king and duke were frauds but not so sure about the other men. Then "Harvey" asked the king if he knew what was the tattoo that Peter Wilks had on his breast. The king said it was a small, thin, blue arrow, but it was so small you could barley see it. The old gentleman says it was a P-B-W mark that he got when he was young man. The Lawyer and Doctor said that they never saw that and their only solution was to go and dig up his coffin and see if it was true. The Lawyer said that everyone of the frauds should go but be guarded. It was getting dark and once they brought the coffin up, it was raining and it got darker. One of the men finds the bag of money on the dead man's breast. Everyone got excited and Huck took advantage of that to make his escape. He was able to get out of the woods and all he had to do now was look for Mary Jane.
So many surprise are coming up, and there thing i did not expect. Those two new old gentlemen, so far seem to be telling the truth. Although I'm not sure about the tattoo. I wonder if the men checked to see if Peter did really have that tattoo. I don't think I'll find out right now because Huck left right away to see what would happen next. I get that he was getting scared of what would happen to him if he had stayed there longer. He did not want to go to jail. Huck might try to be a rebel, but on the inside he still has a hart. Life takes a few surprises, I wonder if the appearance of the two old gentlemen is a good one or a bad one. I won't find out until i finish the book. I hope Mary Jane help clear Huck's name.

Once the auction was close to being over, these two old gentlemen come in saying that they are Harvey Wilks and his brother William Wilks, who can not speak. This was something that Huck and everyone else did not expect. This is something that might change Huck's and Mary Jane's plan. The two man said they could prove who they were saying they were but that they needed time because the were robbed on their way there. The king and duke started to laugh along with half of the people there. Those who weren't laughing was Huck, the girls and of course the doctor. The doctor had brought about a solution to who was telling the truth, he said he would interegate them and see who was the liar. When Huck was being asked questions the doctor and the other man would just laugh because they said he was such a bad liar. The doctor then went to questioning the king, he said he saw him with two other men and a boy, the boy being Huck. The king got all nerves and then another men came in with a few documents in his hand. He said he had the answer to the problem. He just needed them to sign a few paper. The king was first, he signed a paper, and then the men said it didn't match the document in his hand. From then on everyone new he was a fraud. But now they wanted to know who they other two men were or said they were.
That was something that even I did not see coming! It was a berry interesting chapter to read, i was getting caught up in the expense. I taught it was over when the two men should up, but no one seemed to believe them. The the doctor goes all with his speech of questioning. That brought even more expense. I was laughing when the men said Huck was a bad liar. From then on the story just got better and better with the men who had the documents in his hands, that i was also not expecting. Once he told the king what he wanted him to do, i knew where it was heading and how everyone would see he was a fraud. I can't wait to see what they other two men would do and if they are really who they proclaim to be.

Huckleberry had finally go the courage to confront Mary Jane and the girls. After having told Mary Jane the truth about the two frauds, Huck went to go the girls. Huck told them everything, even about what he and Mary Jane's plan was and what she had to go do now. Huck told the girls to pretend that everything was o.k. and normal.
It seems like its been a long time since I have read Huckleberry Finn, so at first when i was reading it was sort of lost and confused. But as I kept reading it started to come back to me and knew what was going on in the story. I was glad, i guess, that Huck finally fessed up and confessed to the girls that those guy pretending to be the uncles were frauds. I'm just wondering how the whole plan is going to go on. I feel like something big or bad might happen as the plan is taking place.
