    6- In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn both Huck and the runaway


    slave Jim are trying to escape from a society which labels them as
    outcasts. Although Huck has been adopted by the Widow Douglas and
    been accepted into the community of St. Petersburg, he feels
    hemmed in by the clothes he is made to wear and the models of
    decorum to which he must adhere. But he also does not belong to the
    world Pap inhabits. Although he feels more like himself in the
    backwoods, Pap's drunken rages and attempts to control him force
    Huck to flee. At the end of the book, after Jim has been freed, Huck
    decides to continue his own quest for freedom. "I reckon I got to light
    out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going
    to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it. I been there
    before." Why doesn't he want to follow civilization's practices? What
    does he really want? What conflict does he have regarding Jim? Why?
