Las Aventuras Huckleberry Finn
Analyzing Literature
1- After everything is cleared up, Tom announces that Jim was already free and they explain everything to aunt Sally.

Besides Tom Sawyer, already civilized, follows the values and beliefs of society while Huck Finn, rejects the philosophy of political beliefs for the fear of becoming civilized....
