The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chaters 33-42

Huck is very worried now because Tom Sawyer could come in any moment so he went out and said that he was going to get his luggage on the raft and after that, he went out and waited for Tom Sawyer to come. When the two friends finally met, Tom Sawyer thought that Huck was dead but after he found out, he was glad. Then Huck told Tom about what happened and Tom agreed to help Jim out of slavery so they made a plan that Tom would act like Sid and they went together to Phelps's house. Soon they found out that Jim was kept in the shed behind the house. So that evening Huck and Tom went and told Jim that they were helping him out and they would go together.
But when Huck was going to the shed the next day to free Jim, Toms says that they should do like what he read in the book, because it was very easy to free Jim and he thinks that it wasn't complicated at all and it wasn't fun. And Tom handed the book he read to Huck and after Huck read, he also thought that it was good to do so and they waited. And when Uncle Silas, Huck and Tom stole one of his shirt and they gave it to Jim. They also stole a pie and put it in when Jim got out, he could eat the pie and not be hungry. He even put the animals there so that when Jim escapes he could ride the animal and escaped like in the book that he read.
After they escapes, they found that gang again so the three boy ran with all their might but Tom was shot in at one of his leg and he can't continue any longer and their plan was all ruined. Now Huck and Jim must make a hard decision so Jim told Huck to go find the doctor while he will look after Tom. Huck then runs to the town and he accidentally found Uncle Silas and he lied that he and Sid is running after the runaway nigger and Sid is injured so they went to help Tom and Sid and they also helped Jim. To Huck's surprise, he found out later those two months ago, Miss Watson had passed away and she freed Jim. So now Jim is a free man again.
While Huck, who still is saying that he is Tom and while Tom is acting like Sid, Aunt Polly came and she was shocked to see Huck and she asked what happened. So Huck and Tom were caught and they were forced to confess what they did, and their true identity was discovered. After that they all got a good talk together and Tom convince Huck and Jim to go back together and live a happy life but Huck said that he doesn't want to be bothered by his pap again so he is not going back. So Tom told him the story behind it, he told that on the day Huck escapes from his pap his pap followed him to that abandoned house and he was killed there so he can't bother Huck anymore. So now, Huck is happy and so was everyone.

Huck and Jim are now servants working under a duke and a king, and they usually work as a worker that distributes flyers through town and then the people will come to the palace and watch the awesome play that the duke and the king had prepared. Every time there is a play or things going on, people will always be crowded there and Huck and Jim couldn't talk because the sound is too loud. After the night of the play, Huck and Jim heard a story that the king has a bag of gold and if anyone could get it, it could make them rich for their rest of their life. So Huck and Jim thought of a plan to steal the bag of gold and that they would escape.
When they saw a chance while the king was not around, they quickly rushed into the king's bedroom and searched for that bag of gold. After Huck and Jim found a bag of gold, and they were tempted to steal it. After they stole it, they felt guilty for the things that happened so they planned to escape but when they were about to escape, Huck heard a voice so he quickly hid the bag of gold in a casket and hurried away. Many people was there after Huck left but they don't have any idea that there was a bag of gold inside the casket. When evening came, the king realized that his bag of gold was gone. He immediately suspected that the slave or a servant must steal it but he still doesn't know that Huck and Jim were actually the ones that stole them from the king.
Now, all Huck needed to do was to find the fastest way to get out of this mess because Jim went to the river before him and he was waiting there for Huck.

So he suddenly headed south to Phelps farm but on the way, he met the duke saying that he should head north but he knew that was a lie but he just went with the flow and when out of sight, he quickly went to Phelps farm.

Right after Huck got caught by the woman whom he thought he could trick, he ran quickly away and returned to where his little raft was. Then, he heard the bell saying that it was already past midnight, so then he panicked and he woke up Jim and they quickly got left and escaped the small island. When they arrived at Jackson Island, they found out that there were groups of men who are there and they knew that there was also somebody else because they saw Huck's fire camp but they don't know who. So the men were searching while Huck and Jim were hiding. While they were hiding, they saw a guy name Bill who got killed by the gang. They hid in the cave, around some hills, and behind the river rocks because they are afraid of the men which might find them, then kill them because they saw what the witnessed.

After a week had passed by, the gang left and they were safe. They found a big mess that the gang left behind so they took over the important things like some wood, lamps, blankets, clothes, and also a raft. Then they made a plan that they would go to the Ohio River and then sail north and after that, they would get out of all this mess and be free again. Huck and Jim could start a new life there, so they kept on sailing north. They would only sail in the night because they were scared that someone might see them. So during the day, they would either go find some food or sleep the whole day because they needed energy for the night. Sometimes, they experienced thick fog and they couldn't continue so they would take a cat nap, waited for the fog to disappear, then they would continue.

Most of the time when the two were sailing, they got nothing to do so they would talk about the future when they arrived at the free state and become free men. Huck said that he would go work and be a good man while Jim said that he will work very hard and become very rich then he will buy his own wife and house and they will have 2 children and it will be a happy ending. After some time, they saw a house with people inside so they went inside that house and found a man. Inside, there were many people and he made a new friend named Buck and he convinced Huck to live with them. So Huck lived there for about two weeks but after that, Huck found out that the gang that he once met was also there so he tried to avoid them and while Buck and Huck were walking one day, Buck got shot and he died. Huck was very depressed and scared so he ran away with Jim again.

While they ran away, they met many people and most of them were finding a black slave that escaped because there were a price for his head, so now they were escaping all the time and now most of the people were suspecting Jim as the runaway nigger so they tried to catch Jim but a duke came to save them. After that they were serving the duke because they need to payback. But Huck and Jim were fine because they were safe at last. And the duke sent them to the king and they also serve the king. They got to advertise things for the king like the mail boys. They get to make poster and promote plays for the king so that the people could go and see the play. But the people need to pay too.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Summary Chapter 1-11

Huckleberry Finn was a big trouble maker. He didn't really have any parents, just a dad who was a drunk who never took care of him. He never went to school and had no education. But one day, he saved a rich widow by warning her that some people were going to come and kill her. After that, the widow was so grateful for what Huck had done she wanted to adopt Huck, give him an education, new and clean clothes, and a nice house to live in. But when one day came, Huck was bored of all the great hospitality the widow kept giving to Huck. He wanted to revert himself back to the way he was before. Even his friend, Tom Sawyer, came and told him he needed to change back into his old self. So Huck and Tom started a band of robbers and they planned to go around town and kill people, then they would steal their property and money. But what they actually did was just fight imaginary ghosts for two months and then they stopped the gang of robbers.

 After sometime, Huck heard that his father which he called "paps" was in town. He tried avoiding his father because he was really afraid of him, but then they finally met.

Spectator Sport: Wakeboarding on the Lake

In the hot, summer sun, the water splashed on my face. It was very cold. I was carried by the wind running through my hair and between my toes. It was like as I'm walking on water. I finally had the nerves to get in the lake. The thought of crocodiles, piranhas, and snapping turtles terrified me, as if they were right next to me. But still, there was something in my mind that was needed to be done. I had to get up on a wake board this summer. I kept thinking that I might not succeed in getting up, because the last time I did was two years ago. Pacifically, I did a thumbs up, saying I was ready, then the boat jerked me forward. I stood up, skating on water. The best feeling I had that summer, doing what made you feel unstoppable. I tried to see if I still had the skills in me. I leaned back, a bit to the left, and there I was. Feeling docile, steering myself on a wake board again, while everything around me was flamboyant.
 
Something to do while wake boarding
The exact lake I always wake board at
Nothing to worry about, feeling intrepid, because the straps on the barrings of the wake board were extremely tight. After a while of steering and trying to get the feel of being on a wake board again, one of the straps came loose. Unseemly, that's one of the worst feelings ever while wake boarding. It's almost as if you're running a ten kilometer marathon while sprinting with your shoes untied very loosely. I did a cute throat sign to the driver to tell him to slow down. At the second he did, I fell down face first, plunging down into the lake water. It came out of nowhere. At first, I had to figure out what had happened, then I knew that I was underwater. So I came back up to the surface, with the help of my life jacket. So then I started to tie my barrings on the board again. I was ready. I did a thumbs up, then the boat jerked me out of the water. The fast moving wind blew so hard I felt extremely cold. Still, I love the feeling of getting up on a wake board. Every time I do, I improve my balance, steering, and skills in wake boarding.
