Reader Response Blog Narrative #2

For the second third of the book, Huck Finn, Huck and Jim for the most part are on a raft on the Mississippi river. Huck and Jim find a house floating in the flooded Mississippi  and loot it, which becomes a recurring theme in the story, and continue down the river. going down the river they start by meeting a group of robbers. to continue the theme of the story, Huck and Jim steal from the robbers. their original plan was to get to the mouth of the Ohio river, than take a steamboat up north. of course that does not happen and this is where Huck and I differ in ideas. Huck and Jim continue down the river, while i would not. Huck is traveling with a freed slave and wants to continue down a river leading him to the deep south. that just seems like a terrible idea. i would leave the raft and try and head up north on land and try to catch a steam boat. I feel like Huck is a little naive about the world and racism. he thinks that other people will act like him, while in fact the world is fll of terrible people. i do think that it is funny how the book is full of stereotypes.
