Huck Finn

I do not think that tom should have made Jim do all the things he did to escape. He was having fun, but Huck and Jim don’t have imaginations, so they don’t understand why. Also, he almost got them in major trouble several different ways. It was also hard on Jim to put him through all of these things when they could have just let him out.
Huck likes to be with Tom, so he didn’t mind doing all of these things to let Jim free. Jim has no idea why he is doing these things and doesn’t know Tom well enough to “have fun” with him. It is just a burden on him, like when he says “I jis’ ‘s soon have rattlesnakes aroun’”, but he thinks white people know best, so he doesn’t argue (Twain 275). It added lots of unnecessary work to all three of them and almost didn’t work.
Huck and Tom were almost caught taking the spoons and sheets and clothes. They barely got all of the letters to the family warning them, and then tens of farmers came to stop them. They couldn’t do the full plan without getting caught, so they shortened it. Then Tom got shot in the leg. They could have just slipped away with him and avoided all of this trouble, but instead it backfired on them jus for Tom to have “fun”. I think Tom takes it way too far.
