huckleberry fin fiction 5

Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

Tom told me what his plan was, and I see in a minute it was worth fifteen of mine for style, and would make Jim just as free a man as mine would, and maybe get us all killed besides. So I was satisfied, and said we would waltz in on it.

I was a big fan of Huckleberry Finn after I read it and this quote stuck in my head after. It kind of sums up what the whole book is about. Huck doesn't understand that Tom's plan much more stupid than his and that all the steps of the plan are not required to free Jim. Tom does this repeatedly throughout the book, but actually manages to find success most of the way down the river.
