Once again, Tom and Huck are reunited when they try to get Jim back from Silas Phelps. I always liked it when Huck and Tom were together because they are such great friends that they would do anything for each other. Whenever they put their minds together, they always think of a devious, foolproof plan; which I always love reading in books. And whenever they are together, chaos and foolishness always happens, which makes me so happy every time they do. Such as in Chapter 33, Tom pretends to be someone else right in front of his own aunt and uncle, and they do not even realize it’s him (228). I just find it so foolish of them whenever they act like someone else because they know that they will have no intention of giving up their true identity later.
I have said this several times throughout my postings, but I really enjoy how Huck has become so humble and so caring of people around him; especially for Jim. In chapter 31, when Jim has been sold to a farmer, the only thing Huck was thinking about was “How do I get him back?” and “This was entirely my fault.” It made me happy to know that he was thinking of every way possible to help Jim work for Miss Watson again. Huck showed amazing growth of maturity throughout his time spent with Jim. And even when Jim was no longer with him, he knew exactly what to do to get him back.
