Biography of Geklberry Finn

So the days passed after days, and the river slept again and entered the shores. Advertising Huck decides to visit the city and find out the latest news. Having changed into a women's dress, he knocks on the house on the outskirts, where people who have recently moved to the town live. An unfamiliar woman tells Heku that first of his murder was suspected by the dad of Finn, who disappeared wherever.

Now, the killer is considered a fugitive Negro Jim and are looking for him throughout the district. The woman noticed smoke above the island and sent her husband there to see if the Negro was hiding there. She quickly realizes that Huck is not a girl, but lets him go, believing in a new lie. Huck rushes to the island, he and Jim quickly gather and set off. They float at night, eating that the hek manages to buy or steal in coastal towns.

On the fifth night, they fall into a strong thunderstorm. Their flow is blown by a half -flooded steamer, which crashed on a rock. Having climbed onto the steamer, Huck becomes a witness of disassembling between bandits that cannot share the stolen gold. One of the bandits wants to convey to his accomplices, and the other two decide to kill the scammer - to tie and leave on a sinking steamer.

Advertising Huck decides to escape as soon as possible, returns to Jim and discovers that a poorly affected raft sailed away. Not noticed by the bandits, Huck and Jim hang out their boat with all good. The bandits remain on a sinking steamer. I thought how scary, even for killers, to find myself in such a hopeless position. I think: how much to know, maybe I myself will ever be a bandit-I suppose I will not like such a thing either!

Having reached the nearest ferry, hek sends people to the ship, but they find no one. Huck and Jim catch up with their raft, and in the afternoon they find a lot of useful and expensive things among the coated bandits. On the way, they are lost in the fog and find each other again. Huckle torments his conscience, because he took a black man from his legal mistress and helps him become free, but he cannot betray Jim.

It soon turns out that they sailed past Cairo. Without a boat that friends lost, it is impossible to swim upstream, and the raft turns south. The advertisement of one very dark night travelers do not have time to break through with the ship running towards the ship, and the raft is drowning. Huck loses Jim, gets ashore and stumbles on a large estate. Huck comes up with a new name, history and remains in the rich house of the Grangerford family.The head of the family, the colonel, his sons and daughter are very noble people.

No one remembers how blood enmity began, but the matter went far, Grangerford and Sheperdsonny kill each other dozens. Hek does not want to interfere with enmity, which does not concern him, but once he, without suspecting it, conveys the youngest daughter of Colonel, Sofia, a letter from young Sheperdson. On the same day, one of the blacks of Granzordov leads Huck to the swamp, where the boy meets the missing Jim.

Local slaves hid him on a small island in the middle of a swamp. They found the raft and helped Jim repair it. The next day, Sofia escapes with the blood enemy to marry him. Heku can only regret that he did not tell the colonel about that damned note. Advertising, having waited a massacre on a tree, hek makes his way to the swamp to Jim, and friends again go on a trip. I was glad to go away from blood enmity, and Jim-from the swamp.

We said that there is no better at home than the raft. Friends swim again at night and enjoy life. Once, hek finds an empty shuttle and moves ashore to look for berries in the forest. There he meets two men who "did nothing like that, because they are chasing them with dogs." Huck saves them and transports them to his raft. The tramps turn out to be burned by swindlers. Huck understands that both are scammers, but does not want to quarrel with them and does not distort Jim.

There is nothing worse, how to quarrel on the raft; The most important thing is when you float on the raft - this is so that everyone is satisfied, not quarreled and not angry with each other. Advertising Huck hides the truth about himself and Jim from scammers and comes up with another legend about a lone orphan. Fraudsters join Geku and Jim. Traveling down the Mississippi, they “collect tribute” from the coastal towns.

The Duke teaches the king to play Shakespearean plays, and at every opportunity the king acts as a preacher and robs the gullible citizens. In order to travel freely during the day, scammers give out Jim for a cursory slave, who was caught and taken to the owner. They do not suspect that it is. Noticing that Shakespeare's performances do not enjoy success, the Duke allows the king with paints and makes him jump in naked along the stage.

The performance is ridiculous, but very short. The audience understands that she was inflated, and for the next performance comes with full pockets of rotten fruits, rotten eggs and dead cats. The duke and the king have to flee. After that, the naive Jim is finally convinced that all kings are scammers. What is the use of saying Jim that it was the fake king and the duke? Nothing good could come out of this, and besides, it was as I said: they were no different from the real ones.

Advertising Huck does not want to upset Jima also because the poor Negro is very longing for his family, which remained in slavery. He wants to pretend that he arrived from a large city, for which you should get to the ship. Getting on the shuttle to the ship, the king sits down a fellow traveler, from whom he finds out that a rich man Peter Wilks died in the town. He left all the gold to his British brothers-William and the deaf-mute Garvey-whom he had not seen since childhood.

The king decides to impersonate the Monk William, and the Duke is for Garvie. Deception succeeds. Drummers arrive in the town before the very funeral, and everyone sympathizes with them. The game of scammers of only a local doctor does not convince. The doctor did not calm down and said that a person who pretends to be an Englishman, and does not know how to say like an Englishman himself, is just a guide and a fraudster.

Three Wilks daughters do not want to listen to him and, as a sign of trust, give the deceivers a bag with six thousand dollars with gold. This is not enough fraudsters. They promise to take the "nieces" to England and persuade them to sell the house and slaves. Advertising Huck sympathizes with kind and meek girls.
