First, it should be noted that viewers should distinguish this animated film from another Japanese adaptation of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I just discovered that the previous image was incorrect~~ Huck's father tries to get the money Huck earned from an adventure. Upon learning that Huck has been adopted by Widow Douglas and is going to school, he locks him in a small cabin. Huck fakes his death and escapes on a small raft. He then meets Jim. Jim is a slave belonging to Widow Douglas's sister. Unable to bear the heavy workload, he escapes to Jackson Island. The two of them hide on the island. Later, when searchers come looking for them, they escape on a bamboo raft to the free territory on the other side. During their journey, their bamboo raft collides with a steamboat, and Huck and Jim fall into the river. Huck is later rescued by a wealthy merchant but becomes embroiled in conflicts and gunfire. In the chaos, he and Jim meet again. Unfortunately, they are deceived by two conmen, the "Duke" and the "King." They teach Huck and Jim to go to various towns to preach for money, perform tricks, or deceive the locals to swindle their money, or to loot the homes of those who have died. The two conmen spare no effort in taking advantage of Huck and Jim. Eventually, Huck manages to escape back to the boat, but cannot find Jim. Jim has been sold by the "King" to a farmer in Phelps. It so happens that Mrs. Phelps is Tom's aunt. After learning this, Huck discusses with Tom how to rescue Jim. After a series of thrilling actions, the three of them finally escape from the Phelps home. During their flight, Tom is shot in the foot and seriously wounded. Jim accompanies him to town for treatment, but accidentally gets captured again. At this time, Aunt Polly comes to town bringing news that Widow Douglas's sister has died. In her will, she has freed Jim. Huck’s father has also died, granting Huck his freedom. However, this time he is to be raised by Aunt Polly. Huck once suffered at the hands of Widow Douglas; he simply cannot bear this upbringing by civilized people. Therefore, he escapes again and embarks on an adventure with Tom... Jim is a loyal and capable Black man, but he still cannot escape the misfortune of being sold. His unfortunate fate reflects the harsh reality of many slaves' lives. Importantly, he does not passively endure persecution like Uncle Tom in Harriet Beecher Stowe's work but instead takes the initiative to escape. Within the historical context, this can be regarded as a form of resistance within his capabilities. He is also a compassionate and self-sacrificing person; while drifting down the river, he takes care of Huck everywhere, trying to shield the child from shock and suffering. When Tom is shot and injured, he stays in the dangerous area to help the doctor attend to the child, disregarding his own safety. Through Jim's series of noble and earnest actions, the work tells us that Black people are not inferior to white people in character, and in many respects, they even surpass whites, thereby completely dismantling the fallacy of racial discrimination. Through the portrayal of this character, the novel aims to emphasize the necessity and urgency of abolishing slavery. Huck is the central character of the novel and a notable child image in American literary history marked by a strong sense of justice and rebellious spirit. At the beginning of the novel, although he is lively and loves a free life, he is influenced by long-term racist propaganda and social customs, and he discriminates against Jim, often playing tricks on him, and even considers writing a letter to report Jim's whereabouts. After spending day and night with Jim, he finally recognizes and decides to help him gain freedom. The novel dramatically depicts the results of Huck's internal struggle: he picks up the letter of denunciation and says, "Well, then, to hell with it," and rips up the letter. This vivid portrayal, as the author states, represents "the conflict between a healthy mind (i.e., democratic ideals) and a distorted consciousness (i.e., racial prejudice), with the distorted consciousness being defeated." Huck's ideological transformation and his repeated efforts to help Jim through difficult situations demonstrate that if even a child cannot be deceived by the fallacy of racism, the collapse of slavery is indeed a historical inevitability. It also indicates the author's advocacy for white and Black people to work together to create a new world of democracy and freedom. The novel also comprehensively reflects the artistic charm of Mark Twain’s writing. First, the work combines the realism of authenticity and the romanticism of lyricism seamlessly; Huck and Jim's drifting experiences are filled with legendary color, and the natural scenery along the Mississippi River shines with extraordinary beauty in the author's pen. The depictions of urban and rural life along the river are also detailed and vivid. This wonderful fusion is particularly evident in Huck's ideological struggles, where the author presents the logical trajectory of the characters' consciousness while humorously mocking the absurd notions imposed on a child by religious fallacies. Secondly, the narrative adopts a first-person perspective, reflecting life and portraying images from Huck's perspective, making it intimate, vivid, and captivating. Furthermore, the language of the work is distinct; based on a wide use of Southern American dialect and African American vernacular, the author skillfully refines and processes it to form a literary language rich in colloquial characteristics, concise, vivid, and naturally implicit, serving as a model in English literature. For over a hundred years, this novel has been warmly welcomed by people all over the world, receiving high praise from experts. British poet T.S. Eliot considers Huck's character immortal, comparable to that of Don Quixote, Faust, and Hamlet. American novelist Ernest Hemingway praised it as "the best book ever written." The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Huck Finn is a smart, kind, and brave white boy who escapes to the Mississippi River in search of a free life. During his escape, he meets the Black slave Jim. Jim is a hardworking, honest, and loyal slave who runs away from his master to avoid being sold again. They drift together on the Mississippi River, living freely, and become good friends. Huck goes through a lot for Jim's freedom, eventually learning that Jim's owner has freed him in his will. In the novel, Huck and Jim's characters are distinct and vivid. The realistic depiction and romantic lyricism throughout the text intertwine sharply with deep revelations, humorous and sharp satire, and romantic legends, forming Mark Twain's unique artistic style.
