                                              3/08/01     Hucks Identity     That The danger of not knowing who you are, this could leave alone to disastrous effects in your future life. by dint ofout the leger The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn the master(prenominal) calibre Huck is having adventures and trying to find out who he is. Through each step of the bind, Huck tries to disguise himself as somebody else to face if maybe hes the character that he is playing. Fin ally at the end of the withstand he realizes he is the somebody who started out in the beginning of the book but with maturity and self identity. This whole book is about a character named Huckleberry Finn trying to find himself in the world, this should be more about examined, why does he de privation to be someone else.?, and what do his adventures learn him.     Life, change, identity, they are all a big part of this book as well as life in general. Huck is a person who the author Mark Twain tries to portray as lost in himself as well as in society. Huck throughout the book is looking for an identity that he believes he will find on his journey down the Mississippi river. "Id go down the river fifty land mile and camp in one place for good, and not have much(prenominal) a rough time tramping on foot."(pg31) Why does he want to sustain away from his life? I think Hucks character is actually independent and he has his own thoughts on where he wants to end up in life. In his old life everybody was always telling him what to do where to go how to eat and he was getting sick of it. On rapscallion 4 he says "All I wanted was to go somewheres all I wanted was change , I warnt particular." He was looking to get out of his old life and into the life that he thought was in effect(p) for him. Where there was no boundaries or limits, he wanted to be step down from the shackles of Christian home life.     What did his adventures on the river teach him about his own temperament and character? They taught him what he already knew in the beginning of the book that he is himself. If he tries to hard be somebody else he is never press release to achieve that self-fulfillment that he so desires in the beginning of the book. I also believe that his companionship with the black slave Jim helped to shape his character as a human being.
