I’m glad I read this for cultural context and relevance, but so much was frustrating, especially in the end with Jim in the shed. The character and dialect is certainly unique and worth experiencing, and much of the story was engaging. But I had had enough of children creating a worse time for Jim by the end.

Huck Finn runs away from his abusive father; on the same night the slave Jim runs away from his owner. Huck finds out that Jim is suspected of possibly having killed him, since he faked his own murder. Throughout the book Huck worries about the morality of helping a slave evade his 'rightful' owner and thereby depriving someone of their property.
