I think that the way Mark Twain ended the novel resembled a fairytale story because of how Jim, Huck, and Tom lived "happily ever after", after the fact that Tom was shot in the leg. In my opinion, it could've been a better ending if Jim had the chance to see his wife and kids again but I don't think that was the type of image Mark Twain wanted to portray toward the reader. I think that the image he wanted to define was how Jim was treated like a king at the end of the novel to show the abolishment of slavery. It makes sense because throughout the novel, racism and slavery were factors in almost everything they did, and slavery had just ended in real life just a few years prior. To conclude this paragraph, Mark Twain is a very good author and I enjoyed this book very much, I can't believe I'm about to say(type) this, but now I'm eager to read "Adventures of Tom Sawyer" even though it's based before "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".
I would describe the ending as a feeling of Shakespeare, a sense of justice in the end. Even though Tom was shot and Jim was captured everything cleared out at the end. The reason for this feeling is because through all the trouble the characters went through everything was resolved in the end. From the dead of Huck's father to Jim gaining his freedom and money. That is what I think of the ending. And like Devante said it was a happy ending.
Leonard A. Lafoe I personally did not, and at the same time, liked the ending to the story. Even though Jim is freed and Huck is adopted by Aunt Sally, Tom's knowledge of Jims freedom aggravated me a lot. To go through all that work to free a FREE slave and not tell Huck is mind boggling. Everything else I have no quarrel with whatsoever. Jim not telling Huck of his father's death and everything turning out right is a pretty good ending. Good job Mark, jolly good show.
I think that the end was in a way not very shocking as I was expecting but it brought peace and it made everything right Jim is finally freed at the end and Huck is adopted that I didn't really liked but it ended with that cense of liberty and made everything like it was suppose to be Huck changed a lot cense the beginning of the book because all what happened to him made him changed in a positive way but I didn't really liked the end a lot.
In my opinion, the way Mark Twain ended the book was slightly bland yet the reader had a sense of relief at the end because of the satisfying ending. It made the reader realize about the way people were treated back then and that all people were not the same. Mark Twain did a wonderful job writing this novel. It made me feel like I was there in Huck's situations and helped me contemplate about how you should always tolerate and accept peoples' differences. Even though I felt like the ending could have a little more impact on the reader, it was still great to know that the 3 friends were going to be okay.
In my opinion I kind of liked the ending even though I was expecting something more exciting. It probably gave most of the readers a satisfying ending. I think this novel made readers realize how it really was back then. How different colored people were treated. But over all I liked the book and I think Mark Twain is a great author.
You can say that Mark Twain ended he story a little boring but everything turned out ok for everyone. It was a twisted in a way because Tom gets shot in the leg, Jim gets caught, but everything worked itself out at the end. Tom get a little glory and fame as he always wanted, Jim gets his freedom and money, and Huck was adopted. Mark Twain was very punctual in his writing.
Well the ending was pretty predictable for me I wouldn't really feel so shocked. It's not as if all the sacrifice Huck has put in for Jim would go to a waste if the plan he had in mind for Jim's freedom could work out just fine. But I gueS's a happy ending is a good ending so I suppose Mark Twain was pretty organized putting the whole ending together the whole book as well.
I think that Mark Twain ended the book well. Huck turns out to be good, Tom survived the shoot and Jim got his freedom. Mark Twain ended the book like all the other books that Tom and Huck read. Even though it ended happily it left me hanging. I wanted to know more about what happened to them, what became of them when they grew up. I can't argue but the ending was satisfactory. -Julia Martinez
I personally think that Mark Twain did an excellent job ending this book. I loved it when the last chapter entitled "Chapter the last" He had Jim telling Huck that the man in the river was Hucks father and you could mentally hear what a hard time Jim was somewhat having telling Huck about this and you could see that friendly emotional bond that they had between the two of them. That by far was probably the best part about that chapter for me as an individual. I don't see what wasn't to like about the book it was a great book and Mark twain it did an exceptional job.
I think that the ending was lacking, yet still ended at a good closing point. It gave insight on how things were ran back then, and how much corruption was present at the time. I personally enjoyed how Mark Twain made Huck's decisions, and answers, reflect his message. It really made me think on how i have made my decisions and the effects they have had on people. This book touched some personal spots and gave me some thinking points, so all in all i liked this book.
The end of the story was very predictable because Mark Twain give a sense of justice. Although is was a happy ending, I would like to see how their lifes are after all the problems they had before. Tom treated like king at the end of the story makes sense because of the abolishment of slavery. The book was about freedom and racism.
I was disappointed by the ending. I had expected more adventure or something less predictable. I did however enjoy knowing that Huck's father was dead and Jim was free. I would have preferred the ending to be both Jim and Huck to stay together and get into more trouble else where. I also thought it was unrealistic due to the fact that the rest of the book showed a close resemblance of time period especially with racism and slavery but I think in real life not everything turns out fine.
I am glad that Huck and Tom got the happy ending that they wanted. But it is the typical ending of most books and movies. I think leaving the end at a point where leaving people guessing is a good ending because the reader can make their own story at the end. Weather or not they "live a happy life" or a "bad life" at the end. This book is a point of view of Huckleberry Finn and I want to learn more about Tom Sawyer. -Bobbi Cordle
Mark Twain ended this novel in successful way in my opinion, he gaved a closer look to the conflict that we used to face, "slavery". He made me feel that i was part of his novel making me want to read more of his books. The ending was predictable but yet it was pleasing to hear that everything turn out allright. Jim was a free man, Huck was adopted by his aunt concluding his happiness, and Tom got the fame he always dreamed of. At the end this three characters got the liberty and happiness they were looking for concluding this book with a happy ending. Ailyn Flores
Elizabeth Rodriguez The ending was predictable in a way describing though times while slavery occured. Making the reader feel being part of the novel. When in occassions everything seemed to turn out wrong in the end Jim became a free man. Huck was adopted by an aunt and Tom had the ending he wanted. Mark twain did an excellent job with huckleberry finn's novel making the reader wanting to read more of it.
In my opinion the end of the novel was really good.Although that it was predictable I liked that justice was finally done by the end. The characters of the novel have a happy ending.For example Jim gaining his freedom and money like he wanted since the first chapter of the novel. Mark twain used a very good technique by leaving the reader wonder what happened in the future to the characters. Twain was a very good writer in my opinion.
the book ended in the semi happy ever after seen and to be honest .... I prefer cliff hangers but it might be frustrating to the other readers so over all ill give the ending a 4 out of 5 but you know im happy that jim is a free man probably my favorite part of the book it kinda felt like at the end of the dora show when they sing and do the dance (WE DID IT YAY!!!!!!) because I srongly believe every human deservs free right so never mind ill give ths book ending a 5 out of 5.1
In my opinion I loved the way mark twain ended this novel. He showed a comedic side by having Jim tell huck "what I tell you up dah on Jackson Islan'? I tole you I got a hairy breas en what's de sign un it en I tole you I Ben rich wunst en gwineter to be rich agin". He shows how Jim is free and how happy he is. He makes it seem real by having huck tell us "so there ain't nothing more to write about and u am rotten glad of it". Twain has huck describe right at the end that aunt Sally is going to adopt him and sivilize him. Then huck states I been there before.
Well in my case, I thought the ending was very good for Huck and also for Jim but I think that the ending should of had some more detail to it. Huck ended up getting adopted by Aunt Sally and Jim also got to be free and live on his own. So in conclusion, Mark Twain did a very good job at the book but should (like I said in the first sentence) have done some more work to it.
I believe the way Mark Twain ended the novel was somewhat like a fairy tale. Due to the fact that Jim, Tim and Huck lived "happily ever after". I feel that the ending would've been better if Jim had the chance to reunite with his family. Overall, Mark did a very good job on this book. I enjoyed every minute I spent reading it.
Marianna portillo I love the way mark twain ended this novel. He showed a comic side with jim. He shows ho jim is free and that he is really happy. It fell real when huck says that there is nothing to write about anymore. At the end aunt sally is going to adopt him. Aunt sally wants to civilize him. Then huck sais ive been there before.
My opinion on how Mark Twain ended this novel was expectable. You can't end a story with the ending being bad, you have to have a happy ending. That is what Mark Twain did he ended the novel to be happy. Jim is free, Huck is happy and everyone is living, "Happily ever after." All in all the ending is great. -Ismael S.
I thought the way Twain ended the book was the best ending he could do for such a story. To me the story was very plain but the ending atleast left me wanting to go back and look for the clues of hucks fathers death. Even though it can be argued that the end was expectable, I thought it was the best part of the book. For starters it meant I didnt have to read more of a boring book but also I thought it was the best part was because everyone got their own little happy ending in some way, with Jim being freed, Tom surviving, and Huck being left with opportunities and a actual fit guardian. With that said I ask the question, was the book so plain that it made me like the slight twistful ending more than I should?
I agree with isaac the ending of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was the best ending for a book like this. Everyone got there happy ending even though it was hard to get and at times it seemed like they wouldn't. The book was kinda boring but once it got to the ending i got pretty interested in what was happening. The ending didn't leave you thinking about anything everything was resolved thats another thing i liked awhile.
Mark Twain ended the novel with us readers left wondering the future of the characters. Jim ends up being treated like royalty which shows the end of slavery. Jim ends up with his freedom and money that he had wanted since the beginning of the novel. Mark Twain ends the novel with a sense of happiness. In my opinion I like the way he ended the novel. It leaves the readers wanting more.
I feel like the book ended on a good note. Though it left me hanging with questions of how Huck, Jim and Tom continued to live their lives, it was a an interesting book. This book made every bad situation disapear with the end of slavery, Huck choosing to become good as well as finding the father figure in Jim that he had been looking for. -Nathaniel Aguilar
I really think that Twain's ending on this story satisfied a lot of people including me because for once, we see Jim somewhat happy since Jim says that he assisted the nurse in helping Jim's bullet wound. I could imagine that it was a pretty good feeling for Jim to be treated like a king considering the fact that this was before the civil war, before slavery was actually fought against. Twain also ends the story with humor which adds a nice touch: Huck now has nothing more to write about and is "rotten glad" about that, because writing a book has turned out to be for him quite a task. He does not plan any future writings. Instead, he plans to head out West immediately because Aunt Sally is already trying to "sivilize" him. Huck has had quite enough of that. Tom and Huck both plan to go on another adventure, to "Indian Territory" (Oklahoma).
I think mark twain ended with happiness but a little of sadness too.This is on some level, a good thing. That bad boy Tom, is finally learning some manners, and he's passing them on to Huck. And he's doing it for Huck's own good. Sleeping in a bed sure beats sleeping in a barrel after all. Still it's a little eerie to see Tom take the side of the adults. He's not supposed to be reasonable, he's supposed to be a rascal. Even though he ends the story still dreaming up more exciting adventures there's at least a touch of sadness to the book's end.
I believe mark twain made the ending to this book like that because he freed jim. He was no longee a slave yhis book was written in a time of slavery and mark twain made this book for people to have a different outlook on slavery. I wouldn't say I honestly loved the ending. I feel that the ending wasn't ment to go see if jim would ever see his wife and kids but it was the point of freedom that jim had to show people a better outlook on america with freed slaves. -Brieanna Gordon
I thought that the ending of the novel ended abruptly. Huckleberry Finn returned to his former character, an immature, unrefined person. Well, I guess it does suit his age, but we, the reader had seen him grow. Everyone was happy though, Jim was free and treated like a king, signifying the end of slavery. I guess the ending was not bad, as this was an adventure novel, allowing the reader to take the journey with Huck, Tom and Jim. I was expecting something more impactful at the end, or, maybe, we need to look at the whole book. The lesson, the journey, that was impactful.
I feel that Mark Twain had ended the book in a very common way! It had shown that at the end everything the truth will reveal itself and everything will turn out all right. Huck return to usual self. I believe it was a great story on how they had finally freed Jim and how Tom had to tell the truth to his aunt. The is a wonderful example of a happy ending. I think Mark Twain should insert some sort of a twist to the reader instead of the expected.
In my opinion i liked the ending, it all worked out well for everyone. Even though Tom was shot, he survived and Jim was captured but eventually got his freedom and Huck got adopted. - Christian Ordonez
I wasn't expecting the ending to be so simple. Throughout the book, Mr. Twain takes great lengths to explain scenes in detail. Almost to the point that it gets a little dull. So when the entire book was wrapped up in a few sentences I was surprised. I thought Mr. Twain would elaborate on how Huck got to be adopted by Aunt Polly or even if Jim got reunited with his family. But even with this short ending I enjoyed how Huck sends us backwards with the phrase "I've been there before" referring to his time with Ms. Watson and the widow. And it even shows a glimpse of what he assumes to be his future with Aunt Polly. Overall, I enjoyed the ending and thought it fit with the book. -Cristina Rodriguez
In my opinion this novel was horribl ,especially the ending. There was not much adventure. Also through out the novel it gived so many clues about the ending. I like interesting novel and this novel was not interesting at all.I wished the ending was not so expectable.The only thing im glad about is that Jimis finally free of slavey
How I felt about the ending, huh? I actually quite enjoyed "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." The ending surprisingly encountered with Huck and Jim's conversation about his superstitions of being rich, and gave the ending a sort brief "fairytale ending" concluding all three of them-Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and Jim- finally living "happily ever after." "Ef you's got hairy arms en a hairy breas', it's a sign dat you's agwyne to be rich..." "Well, are you rich?" "No, but I ben rich wunst, and gwyne to be rich agin..." (Page 48) Therefore, near the ending, Jim rejoices about the $40 given to him by Tom, and says, "Dah, now, Huck, what I tell you?-what I tell you up dah on Jackson'islan'? I tole you I got a hairy breas', en what's de sign un it; en I tole you I ben rich wunst, en gwineter to be rich agin; en it's come true; en heah she is!" (Page 323) It was as if Twain intended for the stories to come to an end euphorically for both Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn; despite Tom's injured calve. However, I feel it would have been more fitting for the story to be more melancholic considering the relations to Twain's traumatic life experiences. Though, I enjoyed the plot and the contents of its book.
Mark ended the story in a happy note although leaving clues throughout the book, making the ending almost predicable. It worked out good for everyone, Huck is happily adopted, and Jim is no longer a slave and somewhat treated as royalty. All lived happily ever after.
The way that Mark Twain ended the story wasn't the way I was hoping for. I mean I thought that Jim will be free as soon as Huck and Tom help him to escape from the cabin, but no the people capture him. Then Tom was shot while helping Jim like how because it didn't give detail on how Tom got shot. Then at the Jim tells Huck that his pa is never coming back. Did he meant that Huck's pa is dead or left for good? It just made me want to read back to see what did I miss about Huck's pa like I want to find some clues about it. -Daniela Galindo
In my opinion Mark Twain ended the novel well. It had a happy ending, Jim got his freedom, Huck got adopted and even thou Tom was shot he survive. They gained experience thru their journey and learn a lot about life. Although I was looking for more, like what happened to his family members and how would Hucks life be like, I was pleased how it ended. - Jennifer Arreola
In my opinion the ending was more than obvious! Huck and Tom help Jim be free. Hucks father dies. Threw out the novel you had clues that helped you get to the conclusion of that ending. Atleast Huck gets adopted again and is not left alone. - Genesis Ramirez
I believe that the ending was somewhat symbolic, on Huck's behalf. At the beginning of the novel we saw him under the care of Miss Watson and the widow, trying to be "sivilized." After everything that Huck has went through morally and physically throughout the entire book, he is right back in that same position of someone trying to "sivilize" him. To me this goes to show that Huck still is a young man with room for improvement, as if he is going to grow and learn beyond the novel. Leaving me to question what would become of him now.
I enjoyed the ending of the book, it was short and sweet, straight to the point. At this point of the book, your left anticipating on what's going to happen to Jim, and to find out he was already free was a relief. I think Tom matured a lot, especially after reading his explanation on why he didn't tell Jim he was free and created this unnecessary plot. I admired how Jim finally got to experience how it feels to be free. How it feels to sit down, eat and relax and have people cook for him and clean for him, instead of him doing the cooking and cleaning. The ending was also ironic because Huck traveled miles away from his home to only be stuck in the same situation of a woman wanting to raise him, which he is not fond of.
Though the ending was a bit cliche, it did tie the book together. I also like the way Mark Twain closed the story with Huck ending the book by saying "...if I'd a knowed what a trouble it was to make a book i wouldn't a tackled it..." because it gave a perspective view of a kid who writes about his adventures. I didn't like the fact the ending kinda fell short in explaining what happened to their lives in the distance future but it still gives the reader a sense that things will be normal again when Huck says, "I been there before". I would have enjoyed it more if Mark Twain gave some detail about there lives in a year after thier experince. Overall though this was a good book to read and i liked it very much. -Patrick McCoy
I really enjoyed the ending, even though clues were giving to show you how it was going to end. Jim ends up being free. Then it is thrown in there how Aunt Sally is adopting Huck.
I think that Mark Twain ended the book well. Huck turns out to be good, Tom survived the shoot and Jim got his freedom. They gained experience through their journey and learn a lot about life. -Jesus Gutierrez
I think Mark Twain ended the book to symbolize the end of slavery and he did that very well. I did like some of the humor in the story such as Tom's "bright" ideas, but overall, I did NOT like the story. The story wasn't very interesting, and the ending is just what everybody would expect of a kids' books, very, very happy. The author gave nothing else after that of how the characters went off to. I give it 4 stars...out of 10.
In my opinion Mark Twain ended this novel really good. Throughout the novel it was well understood. It had it good and bad parts. Jim ended up being free and treated with respect. The lesson in between the characters was well written. They all got an experienced journey through their life. In conclusion, it was a well novel and very significant.
I think that the ending of the novel was good.Mark Twain doesn't really tells us what happens in Jim's and Huck's future but I was kind of expecting the "happily ever after" ending and I'm glad that Jim is finally free and Huck got adopted.
I think the way mark twain ended his story was simple for the reader to understand the ending. Im my opinion the ending was alright but could of have a little more detail. In the end everything turned out ok. Jim was treated like a king and was happy being free. Huck mature throught out the stoy and learned new things that will help in the near future. I can't to read the next story and see how the character changes throughout the story.
i didn't like the ending because it was very predictable. would like to see how their life's are after all the problems they had before. Tom treated like king at the end of the story makes sense because of the abolishment of slavery. It was a happy ending but i expected more.
Its crazy haha, the ending was predictable, but I did like the book. Everyone got their happy ending. Tom is still alive and Jim got his freedom. Then the dad died...I know that sounds vulgar but im pretty sure everyone reading this book wanted that ._.
The way Mark Twain finished the story was organized in very interesting way. The way Huck, Tom and Jim ended was happy. Huck and Tom managed to set Jim free, and it was a fair ending. It seems to me that Tom also might have changed at the end of the book, with the "adventure" they had freeing Jim. Tom learned and acknowledged Jim has every right to be happy. It is safe to say that this story had a happy ending with Huck being adopted, Jim being set free, and Tom having a different perspective on the way people use to see slaves at that time.
I liked the way Mark Twain ended the book though it was very predictable i really liked how it ended on a good note. I also liked how it showed how Jim was finally happy and how Tom, and Huck continued with their lives.
The ending isn't a "happily ever after" ending like everyone else is describing. Jim didn't get to see his family, Tom got shot in his leg, and Huck had to go back to his normal boring life with Aunt Sally. Still, there is good, like Huck getting his money, Tom having a tale, and Jim getting treated like a king. The ending wasn't perfect though, I personally didn't like it. There wasn't enough thrill in the ending, but it wasn't the worst ending either. I feel it would have been better if someone had the died at the end, either Jim or Tom. It would've made a better ending if Mark Twain had added death, other than Pap's death.
Although how Mark Twain ended the story wasn't what i would expect , I am glad at the fact that every problem did get resolved. While it isn't your normal "happy ending" i say this mostly because tom got shot in the leg but luckily it wasnt anything fatal. At least tom acknowledged Jim deserved his freedom, but even though jim wasn't able to see his family he still has his freedom and that leaves the possibility open. Huck on the other hand Huck was back at his life with Aunt Sally and to me it seemed that everyone turned out all right in the end.
I wasn't a big fan of the ending, it was too typical. Huck and Tom freed Jim, Huck was the "hero", and everybody lived happy ever after. The book didn't catch my attention much, a few chapters were interesting, but most were boring. -Jasmine Vargas
Even though Mark Twains ending was not exactly what I expected it to be, it was like a "happily ever after" for Huck, Tom (not that much for Tom since he got shot on the leg, luckily it was not something serious", and Jim. At the end all their problems got solved. Even though Jim did not have his family with him he was able to acknowledge that thanks to Huck and Tom he was a free man. Throughout the process of saving Jims life Huck's maturity level grew and learned right from wrong. Huck and Tom continue with their lives with a clear conscious and realizing that what they did was the right thing to do.
The way Mark Twain needed the story was good to my liking, I'm glad Tom, Jim and Huck got their happy ending. I'm glad Huck lives happily ever after and shows his new level of maturity and knowledge. Also Jim get his freedom and money. It shows a bit of ending to slavery which I liked. Overall it's a good book, it may have lost me a few times but I enjoyed it.
The way that Mark Twain finished off his noble can be classified as a fairy tail. The way Huck Tom and Jim "live happily ever after" makes it more fairy tail like. Through out the story, and the events of Huck saving Jim, Huck has matured more, learned between right and wrong. Huck went back to live with his Aunt sally, and you can mostly say that everything turned out alright. -Sonia Villegas
In a way I did like the way Mark Twan ended this novel but at the same time I did not. I believe there was two sides to this ending. A good side but also a bad side. Yes Tom finally realized how Jim deserved his freedom and in the end got it. Though for Tom, he ended up getting shot in the leg. After everything Huck did he ended up going back to his regular life. Even though Jim received his freedom he didn't reunite with his family as he originally planned. I really would have liked if Mark Twain had a more interesting ending. I thought this one was alright yet very predictable. -Brittany Velasco
In my opinion I think that how Mark Twain ended the book was predictable and with a sense of justice for Jim and Huck. Even though it was less than expected I enjoyed how he brought peace to Huck by ending it with Tom getting shot in the leg due to him knowing that Miss Watson was dead. I enjoyed how Mark Twain made the book relatable to the time setting so the readers can connect with the book. Overall it was a great book and enjoyed reading it. - Savannah Ortivez
I didnt like the ending it was happy but not as happy as i expected it to be i kind of expected jim to reunite with his family and for everyone to make it out well but tom got shot the only thing i really liked was how at the beginning Huck is careless and immature and in the end he ended up becoming responsible,mature and well yeah i liked the book just not the ending
I felt the way Mark Twain ended the book was heart warming but I still have unanswered questions. The ending reminded me of a Disney story because Huck, Tom, and Jim ended up happily ever after. Tom could have saved a lot of trouble if he just told the truth like he did in the end , but no Tom always have to have adventure in his life. A question I wished was answered was if Jim reunited with his family again. In conclusion I was really interested in this book and can't wait to read the Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Mark Twain ended the novel with us readers left questioning the future of the characters. Jim ends up being treated like an equal human, which feels special to him, which shows the end of slavery. Jim ends up with his freedom and money which he has been seeking since the beginning of the novel. Mark Twain ends the novel full of joy and happiness. In my opinion I don't believe that he couldn't have ended the novel in a better way.
In my opinion,the way Mark Twain ended the novel was satisfying. Despite the fact that it could've been better, he still did a good job and have the readers a sence of relief that all three were going to be okay. Jim gets his freedom and money,Tom gets fame and recognition and Huck gets adopted. You can say this was a happy ending and a good book. Twain did a good job.
I was glad to see that the novel ended on a good note. Throughout the book, we saw Huck mature and grow as a human being, taking responsibility throughout. Despite Jim’s rough journey, it ended the way I had hoped it would. Jim proved to be a good friend, protecting and standing by Huck, regardless of the various difficulties they experienced. Mark Twain ended the novel leaving Jim and Huck ultimately relieved from their troubles. The book showed how these characters grew while experiencing hardship, gaining the power to overcome such obstacles.
The way mark twain ended it was a happy go ending. It was just a little to typical and not very interesting but it was a happy overall ending.IM glad that Huck ended up being a responsible and makng decisions for himself. Im glad that they freed Jim and he went on to live his life but not as he planned though. For tom everything went well for him after he got shot in the leg. IN the end everyone turned out alright.
I personally enjoyed the ending, even though it was sort of unexpected. I really found interesting how Huck had to internally fight with himself with his morality and the expectations of society. I think Mark might have been this confused as well to have written this book. The way things ended with Huck was unexpected on the account that he was adopted by Aunt Sally. I really enjoyed his journey because it did not drag on with unnecessary.
Mark Twain ended this book as any other regular story would, which would be in a happy setting. Despite the fact that he doesn't want to be adopted by Aunt Sally, everything seemed to play out just the way Huck and Tom wanted, kind of. Jim is now free from slavery in Miss Watson's will and Huck didn't have to worry about his father taking his money after Jim tells them it was his body he discovered. I would have never thought that the book would end this way, but I now believe that this is the best outcome that could have concluded this book.
Mark Twain ended the book pretty good. Although it was obvious what was going to happen. Jim ends up having equal rights and is treated like an actual human. This book ends like a fairytail because all three characters end up living happily ever after. The reader can see that over time Huck matured and ended up being a good kid. This book insights on how thibgs were back then and how people were treated differently just because of their skn color. Overall this was a good book.
The ending was great. I felt satisfied, and nothing really left me wanting more. I was glad the ending was a happy one. Despite all their troubles and misfortune (Tom getting shot, Jim being captured, and Huck's internal dilemmas) throughout the book, everything turned out all right. Huck was at peace and Jim was free. Mark Twain wrote an excellent book and an excellent ending.
I think that the way Twain ended the book was a good ending to a story that the main subject was inequality for colored men. Giving Jim the freedom he sought for so much throughout the book, it gives the reader a sense of happiness and closure knowing that he is no longer a slave but a free man who is going to be treated right. Also he has the opportunity to look for his wife and ultimately set her free. Twain has left the reader to imagine what Jim will do now that he is free. I thought this was a very good book with a very good theme . Angel Franco
The ending of the novel leaves the reader with closure, but also a sense that something new will happen afterwards. Jim is freed, Huckleberry Finn's father is gone, and Tom wants to continue adventuring. Mark Twain closes the novel with the lines, "...Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and civilize me and I can't stand it. I been there before." which suggests that now that Huck is back home, he'll have to adapt to a new lifestyle different than the one he was used to during his journey.
In my opinion I enjoyed the book, it wasn't an ordinary book . it had its good's and bad moments , most interesting moments.It showed the life style of Huck and Jim, and what long journey they took to find freedom for both of them instead of having to live under the care of someone who had no hope for them. The drunken father had no care for Huck, and Ms. Watson of course had Jim as a slave. The ending surprised me because of Pap's death and as well as Ms. Watson's death, and her leaving Jim independent. He went on that journey with Huck for a reasonable life change, leaving them both to a new and mature life.
The ending was exceptional. My thoughts on the whole book was that the book wasn't ordinary. In my opinion this book was like a coming of age type of book. Throughout the book we say Huck mature, learn true core values and become a great friend. I give Mark Twain two thumbs up.
The end of the novel was very unexpected. I think the justice for Huck and Jim is a good ending, after everything they've been through. He enjoyed the novel although I find some parts too detailed and too long which made those parts not as interesting as others. Also I like Hucks character a lot. He's a really smart kid for that time period. I think it's a meaningful novel, especially for the time is was published but even for this generation. -Dominique Briddell
In my opinion Mark Twain ending was great. Huck and Jim where able to reach their main goal,be free. Throught the novel both Huck and Jim had a serie of misfortune events. However they decided to stick together and get what they wanted, their freedom. "The adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was an amazing novel. It gave me more knlowdge of slavery and the desire if being free.
The way Mark Twain ended the book was great. Throughout the book there was a bunch of problems and walls they had to jump over. Inequality with Jim and Huck being treated bad by his father, but evrythig turned out yo be a complete perfect picture. Jim is free, Huck learned to make correct decisions indepentently and Tom was well even after being shot in the leg. I like the whole book and the ending topped the cake, it was a good job on Twain's job.
In my opinion I think that Twain did a really good job with the ending. I liked how he made me want to continue on reading and try to get to the end of the book. But just the ending by itself, I liked it due to it ending as similar as a fairy tail book. It as if everything turned out good with Jim escaping and Huck knowing that he had become more responsible. As a second though one thing that was kinda sad was that Tom got shot, I mean it actually puts more drama/suspense in the story so I know what Twain was trying to do, but in the end yes I did like the book.
Personally I enjoyed the ending of the book, it left me very satisfied. I felt like everyone was left in peace finally. Jim was free , and Huck didnt have to worry about his father . Although Huck did have his internal dilemas to face , he seemed to be in a good place . I love the eay Mr. Mark Twain ended his novel. Fernanda Murillo
I felt like the whole happy ending after the rough time passes thing going on was predictable. Jim gets his freedom and money. As for Huck, I feel as though it’s just him returning to his old life despite his maturity level now. Huck's father is gone, so he no longer has to worry about him. Although Tom gets shot in the leg, he survives. I’m not always fond of endings like these, but I do believe Mark Twain did a great job with this book and ending.
I did fairly enjoy this novel, but had hoped for more action in the end. However it was interesting knowing Tom Sawyer had helped Jim gain his freedom. Two important problems the characters faced were resolved. Jim was finally free from slavery and Huck was free from Pap. Overall Twain ended his novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on a good note.
The ending of the book in my opinion wasn't that great, only because it left me with a bunch of questions. I did like that in the end, (i guess) everything was resolved, Huck was free of his father and matured, Jim was a free man, and they didn't have too keep running from the law. But OK, it wasn't a happy ending in my mind, because it made me wonder what'z next?. I kept thinking is Jim going to ever see his family again? what happened to the King and the Duke ( did they rat out Huck in helping them) What ever happened to Mary Jane and her sisters? How did Huck handle the news that his father died?. Mark Twain did a good job in keeping the adventures interesting and showing how Huck had to chose from what'z right and wrong. But I cant help but wondered if Huck is going to stay a changed young man or if he is going to go back to is old ways, now that he is with Tom sawyer and (is rich) with a new family.
Mark Twain ended the novel very strange. The book had a happy ending, but it left us wondering and asking questions about what happens next. Is everything happy after all? Huck got Jim to get his freedom, Tom matures and Huck's dad dies, which is what i think he deserved for being so selfish and self-centered. Even though the reader might have unanswered questions, Mark Twain gave us the satisfaction of a happy ending and that's enough for me.
Personally I enjoyed the way Mark Twain ended the book, it left me satisfied. I felt like everyone was left in peace finally. Jim was free, and Huck didn't have to worry about his father. Although Huck did have his dilemmas to face, he seemed to be in a good state. Mark Twain enter the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on a good note. ~Mark Gonzales
I think Mark Twain ended his story very well. He didn't continue the ending with as much detail but he did give it a happy ending. The ended concluded with Huck being a mature adult Jim being free. In conclusion the story had a happy ending with Jim being freed and Huck being adopted. I thought the story was a little boring at the beginning but throughout the story it gets a lot better.
I think mark twain ended it pretty good Jim got his freedom and Tom survived. I like how after everything Huck turns out to be a good person. I also like how Huck and Tom still stick together at the end after everything I really have nothing to complain about the ending. -Geraldine Morales
Mark Twain did a great job he way he ended the book even though it was very predictable. It was a strong theme with a happy ending where after all the adventures and conflicts everything turns out great . The ending left me thinking about the after story and how it changed their lifes . Once again the book was enjoyable and Mark Twain did an outstanding job.
In my opinion the ending didn't really grab my attention as i thought it would, It would have been better if Jim got to see his wife and kids. but on the other hand I really think Mark Twain did a fantastic job writing this book. I'm glad that Huck, Jim , and Tom had a happy ending as i expected.
Twain’s ending to “The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn,” was what I expected. Jim is a freed man and Finn is adopted. I believe it was important to end the way it did, especially with Jim. Twain expressed his feelings of racism and slavery by letting Jim become free. Although, the happy ending was expected it was needed. After all of the adventures and dilemmas they encountered, the both of them deserved a sweet ending.
I personally think that Mark twains The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was ok and could've improved it a bit more.Nethertheless the author did give In-Depth details about how so much corruption there was back then, how easily people were fooled and lied to. and how how slaves were treated during those times in the south. Jaime Balderrama
I didn't expect what twain served to me at the end of the book. Fairytail endings just don't seem his style, i saw him as more of a realist i expected tom to die and jim to get away and huck to be a runaway forever. But no such luck. It was a good book though difficult to read in some areas but good. I do actually like how happy it was but also confused as to why.
I liked the ending even though I kind of saw it coming. I wanted something a little less predicting and also something unlucky to happen I don't know why. I like the way Mark Twain authored this book it was an enjoyment to read. I sad to see how slaves and segregated the country was at that time. How badly blacks were treated. I feel this book is great to make people look at themselfs and look at the way they act, their morals, and etc.
I believed the story ended well. It cleared all situations prior to the beginning and it was over all a very good book. Mark seemed happy at the end, Jim was free and got a happy ending. I liked the book a lot, it was really predictable though but it was over all good. I really enjoyed the characters, storyline, setups, and the mood of the book. Pretty much it.
I think that the end was in a way not very shocking as I was expecting but it brought peace and it made everything right. Jim is finally freed at the end and Huck is adopted that made everything just right.Huck changed a lot of his mentality, he also grew a lot wisely and got wayyy more mature. honestly i was expecting a bad ending, where jim gets cought and he goes back to being slave and where huck gets punished for his doings.
The ending of the story is almost like every other. Yes there were a few problems but it ended happy. A reader like me was craving a trajic ending or somehow leaving you guessing. It was a good book but could of been aranged in a better order. This gave me a greater insite on slavery as well.
The ending was pretty predictable for me I wouldn't really feel so shocked,clues were giving to show you how it was going to end. Jim ends up being free. Then it is thrown in there how Aunt Sally is adopting Huck. Even though Tom was shot, he survived and Jim was captured but eventually got his freedom. The ending was satisfactory.
Ending was really predictable by the way the book was showing its steps through out the the exiting. Jim ends up being freed by Huck. Jim gets shot in the ankle and completley fine. Huck ends up being adopted bu the widow he went to.
I have mixed feelings about the way Mark Twain went about ending his book. well I did enjoy the ending there where some aspects that I was not too fond of. There is one example that is a double edged blade this being the fact that the last few chapters were necessary in an unnecessary way. The way that tom is so immature in the fact that he does not tell the truth right away. He hides it so that he live the fantasies that play out in his head. Thus showing how childish he is compared to a boy who is forced to grow up to soon.
The ending of the story weren't really "shocking" or the "intense" type of ending i expected, But it cleared everything, as it brought "peace" and "justice. Jim was finally freed, and Huck ended up being adopted this also showed "Liberty" Mark Twain is a fantastic author, by the good job he did in this novel followed by many others, In this novel the reader could see the images on the book and how it showed every situation in every chapter. Not only that but it brought the way in how every character would act and be themselves.
It was nice to see everyone turn out okay, but the ending was a bit disappointing. Though most of the novel is a slightly exaggerated take on real people and situations, the ending almost completely lacked a sense of realism. Things simply fell happily into place. "Old Miss Watson died two months ago, and she was ashamed she ever was going to sell him down the river...she set him free in her will." Jim just happened to be free already. Though I'm glad the main characters were happy and out of harms way by the end of the story, I felt that the way this came to be was inconsistent with the rest of the novel.
I think the way mark twain ended the novel meant something, in a sense a life lesson. the ending of the story brings the reader to the conclusion that people can change, good comes to those that wait, and to always have faith even when it seems the odds are against you. -Robert valle
I think that the way Mark Twain ended the novel resembled a fairytale story because of how Jim, Huck, and Tom lived "happily ever after", after the fact that Tom was shot in the leg. In my opinion, it could've been a better ending if Jim had the chance to see his wife and kids again but I don't think that was the type of image Mark Twain wanted to portray toward the reader. I think that the image he wanted to define was how Jim was treated like a king at the end of the novel to show the abolishment of slavery. It makes sense because throughout the novel, racism and slavery were factors in almost everything they did, and slavery had just ended in real life just a few years prior. To conclude this paragraph, Mark Twain is a very good author and I enjoyed this book very much, I can't believe I'm about to say(type) this, but now I'm eager to read "Adventures of Tom Sawyer" even though it's based before "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".

I would describe the ending as a feeling of Shakespeare, a sense of justice in the end. Even though Tom was shot and Jim was captured everything cleared out at the end. The reason for this feeling is because through all the trouble the characters went through everything was resolved in the end. From the dead of Huck's father to Jim gaining his freedom and money. That is what I think of the ending. And like Devante said it was a happy ending.

ReplyDeleteI personally did not, and at the same time, liked the ending to the story. Even though Jim is freed and Huck is adopted by Aunt Sally, Tom's knowledge of Jims freedom aggravated me a lot. To go through all that work to free a FREE slave and not tell Huck is mind boggling. Everything else I have no quarrel with whatsoever. Jim not telling Huck of his father's death and everything turning out right is a pretty good ending. Good job Mark, jolly good show.
I think that the end was in a way not very shocking as I was expecting but it brought peace and it made everything right Jim is finally freed at the end and Huck is adopted that I didn't really liked but it ended with that cense of liberty and made everything like it was suppose to be Huck changed a lot cense the beginning of the book because all what happened to him made him changed in a positive way but I didn't really liked the end a lot.
ReplyDeleteKaren Flores
In my opinion, the way Mark Twain ended the book was slightly bland yet the reader had a sense of relief at the end because of the satisfying ending. It made the reader realize about the way people were treated back then and that all people were not the same. Mark Twain did a wonderful job writing this novel. It made me feel like I was there in Huck's situations and helped me contemplate about how you should always tolerate and accept peoples' differences. Even though I felt like the ending could have a little more impact on the reader, it was still great to know that the 3 friends were going to be okay.
ReplyDelete-Ann Coltrane
In my opinion I kind of liked the ending even though I was expecting something more exciting. It probably gave most of the readers a satisfying ending. I think this novel made readers realize how it really was back then. How different colored people were treated. But over all I liked the book and I think Mark Twain is a great author.
ReplyDelete-Damean Segovia
You can say that Mark Twain ended he story a little boring but everything turned out ok for everyone. It was a twisted in a way because Tom gets shot in the leg, Jim gets caught, but everything worked itself out at the end. Tom get a little glory and fame as he always wanted, Jim gets his freedom and money, and Huck was adopted. Mark Twain was very punctual in his writing.
ReplyDeleteWell the ending was pretty predictable for me I wouldn't really feel so shocked. It's not as if all the sacrifice Huck has put in for Jim would go to a waste if the plan he had in mind for Jim's freedom could work out just fine. But I gueS's a happy ending is a good ending so I suppose Mark Twain was pretty organized putting the whole ending together the whole book as well.
ReplyDeleteI think that Mark Twain ended the book well. Huck turns out to be good, Tom survived the shoot and Jim got his freedom. Mark Twain ended the book like all the other books that Tom and Huck read. Even though it ended happily it left me hanging. I wanted to know more about what happened to them, what became of them when they grew up. I can't argue but the ending was satisfactory.
ReplyDelete-Julia Martinez
I personally think that Mark Twain did an excellent job ending this book. I loved it when the last chapter entitled "Chapter the last" He had Jim telling Huck that the man in the river was Hucks father and you could mentally hear what a hard time Jim was somewhat having telling Huck about this and you could see that friendly emotional bond that they had between the two of them. That by far was probably the best part about that chapter for me as an individual. I don't see what wasn't to like about the book it was a great book and Mark twain it did an exceptional job.
ReplyDelete- Jordan Ocampo
I think that the ending was lacking, yet still ended at a good closing point. It gave insight on how things were ran back then, and how much corruption was present at the time. I personally enjoyed how Mark Twain made Huck's decisions, and answers, reflect his message. It really made me think on how i have made my decisions and the effects they have had on people. This book touched some personal spots and gave me some thinking points, so all in all i liked this book.
ReplyDeleteI thought Mark Twain did an excellent job in ending the book, even though it was pretty predictable. It was a happy cliché ending where, after all the conflicts, everything works out for all the characters but although the ending was happy it was also vary broad. It sort of left me wondering about what happened after and how their lives changed. Besides that I really enjoyed reading the book and I liked the way Twain ended it.
ReplyDeleteThe end of the story was very predictable because Mark Twain give a sense of justice. Although is was a happy ending, I would like to see how their lifes are after all the problems they had before. Tom treated like king at the end of the story makes sense because of the abolishment of slavery. The book was about freedom and racism.
ReplyDelete-HECTOR ALDAMA
I was disappointed by the ending. I had expected more adventure or something less predictable. I did however enjoy knowing that Huck's father was dead and Jim was free. I would have preferred the ending to be both Jim and Huck to stay together and get into more trouble else where. I also thought it was unrealistic due to the fact that the rest of the book showed a close resemblance of time period especially with racism and slavery but I think in real life not everything turns out fine.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that Huck and Tom got the happy ending that they wanted. But it is the typical ending of most books and movies. I think leaving the end at a point where leaving people guessing is a good ending because the reader can make their own story at the end. Weather or not they "live a happy life" or a "bad life" at the end. This book is a point of view of Huckleberry Finn and I want to learn more about Tom Sawyer. -Bobbi Cordle

ReplyDeleteMark Twain ended this novel in successful way in my opinion, he gaved a closer look to the conflict that we used to face, "slavery". He made me feel that i was part of his novel making me want to read more of his books. The ending was predictable but yet it was pleasing to hear that everything turn out allright. Jim was a free man, Huck was adopted by his aunt concluding his happiness, and Tom got the fame he always dreamed of. At the end this three characters got the liberty and happiness they were looking for concluding this book with a happy ending.

ReplyDeleteThe ending was predictable in a way describing though times while slavery occured. Making the reader feel being part of the novel. When in occassions everything seemed to turn out wrong in the end Jim became a free man. Huck was adopted by an aunt and Tom had the ending he wanted. Mark twain did an excellent job with huckleberry finn's novel making the reader wanting to read more of it.
In my opinion the end of the novel was really good.Although that it was predictable I liked that justice was finally done by the end. The characters of the novel have a happy ending.For example Jim gaining his freedom and money like he wanted since the first chapter of the novel. Mark twain used a very good technique by leaving the reader wonder what happened in the future to the characters. Twain was a very good writer in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMirinda Ruiz
the book ended in the semi happy ever after seen and to be honest .... I prefer cliff hangers but it might be frustrating to the other readers so over all ill give the ending a 4 out of 5 but you know im happy that jim is a free man probably my favorite part of the book it kinda felt like at the end of the dora show when they sing and do the dance (WE DID IT YAY!!!!!!) because I srongly believe every human deservs free right so never mind ill give ths book ending a 5 out of 5.1
ReplyDeleteI honestly really disliked the ending and the book in general. The ending was so cliché and predictable that I really shouldn't have wasted time reading it. The absolutely only part that I liked about the ending was that Tom kept the secrete that Jim was a free man. I liked it because it was DIFFERENT, and I didn't expect it. I definitely understand why Mr. Twain ended the novel the way he did, he ended the book to "symbolize" or mark the ending/abolishing of slavery, but in my option the book was too long for the content it provided (ESPECIALLY the ending). It had good action sequences, excellent metaphors, quotes, and themes, but I will NEVER pick up this novel again, unless someone pays me. I'd probably give the ending a 3 out of 10 and the book in whole a 4.5 out of 10.

In my opinion I loved the way mark twain ended this novel. He showed a comedic side by having Jim tell huck "what I tell you up dah on Jackson Islan'? I tole you I got a hairy breas en what's de sign un it en I tole you I Ben rich wunst en gwineter to be rich agin". He shows how Jim is free and how happy he is. He makes it seem real by having huck tell us "so there ain't nothing more to write about and u am rotten glad of it". Twain has huck describe right at the end that aunt Sally is going to adopt him and sivilize him. Then huck states I been there before.
ReplyDeleteWell in my case, I thought the ending was very good for Huck and also for Jim but I think that the ending should of had some more detail to it. Huck ended up getting adopted by Aunt Sally and Jim also got to be free and live on his own. So in conclusion, Mark Twain did a very good job at the book but should (like I said in the first sentence) have done some more work to it.
ReplyDeleteI believe the way Mark Twain ended the novel was somewhat like a fairy tale. Due to the fact that Jim, Tim and Huck lived "happily ever after". I feel that the ending would've been better if Jim had the chance to reunite with his family. Overall, Mark did a very good job on this book. I enjoyed every minute I spent reading it.
ReplyDeleteMarianna portillo
ReplyDeleteI love the way mark twain ended this novel. He showed a comic side with jim. He shows ho jim is free and that he is really happy. It fell real when huck says that there is nothing to write about anymore. At the end aunt sally is going to adopt him. Aunt sally wants to civilize him. Then huck sais ive been there before.
My opinion on how Mark Twain ended this novel was expectable. You can't end a story with the ending being bad, you have to have a happy ending. That is what Mark Twain did he ended the novel to be happy. Jim is free, Huck is happy and everyone is living, "Happily ever after." All in all the ending is great.

I thought the way Twain ended the book was the best ending he could do for such a story. To me the story was very plain but the ending atleast left me wanting to go back and look for the clues of hucks fathers death. Even though it can be argued that the end was expectable, I thought it was the best part of the book. For starters it meant I didnt have to read more of a boring book but also I thought it was the best part was because everyone got their own little happy ending in some way, with Jim being freed, Tom surviving, and Huck being left with opportunities and a actual fit guardian. With that said I ask the question, was the book so plain that it made me like the slight twistful ending more than I should?
ReplyDeleteI agree with isaac the ending of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was the best ending for a book like this. Everyone got there happy ending even though it was hard to get and at times it seemed like they wouldn't. The book was kinda boring but once it got to the ending i got pretty interested in what was happening. The ending didn't leave you thinking about anything everything was resolved thats another thing i liked awhile.
DeleteMark Twain ended the novel with us readers left wondering the future of the characters. Jim ends up being treated like royalty which shows the end of slavery. Jim ends up with his freedom and money that he had wanted since the beginning of the novel. Mark Twain ends the novel with a sense of happiness. In my opinion I like the way he ended the novel. It leaves the readers wanting more.

I feel like the book ended on a good note. Though it left me hanging with questions of how Huck, Jim and Tom continued to live their lives, it was a an interesting book. This book made every bad situation disapear with the end of slavery, Huck choosing to become good as well as finding the father figure in Jim that he had been looking for.
Delete-Nathaniel Aguilar
I really think that Twain's ending on this story satisfied a lot of people including me because for once, we see Jim somewhat happy since Jim says that he assisted the nurse in helping Jim's bullet wound. I could imagine that it was a pretty good feeling for Jim to be treated like a king considering the fact that this was before the civil war, before slavery was actually fought against. Twain also ends the story with humor which adds a nice touch: Huck now has nothing more to write about and is "rotten glad" about that, because writing a book has turned out to be for him quite a task. He does not plan any future writings. Instead, he plans to head out West immediately because Aunt Sally is already trying to "sivilize" him. Huck has had quite enough of that. Tom and Huck both plan to go on another adventure, to "Indian Territory" (Oklahoma).

ReplyDeleteI think mark twain ended with happiness but a little of sadness too.This is on some level, a good thing. That bad boy Tom, is finally learning some manners, and he's passing them on to Huck. And he's doing it for Huck's own good. Sleeping in a bed sure beats sleeping in a barrel after all. Still it's a little eerie to see Tom take the side of the adults. He's not supposed to be reasonable, he's supposed to be a rascal. Even though he ends the story still dreaming up more exciting adventures there's at least a touch of sadness to the book's end.
I believe mark twain made the ending to this book like that because he freed jim. He was no longee a slave yhis book was written in a time of slavery and mark twain made this book for people to have a different outlook on slavery. I wouldn't say I honestly loved the ending. I feel that the ending wasn't ment to go see if jim would ever see his wife and kids but it was the point of freedom that jim had to show people a better outlook on america with freed slaves.

ReplyDeleteI thought that the ending of the novel ended abruptly. Huckleberry Finn returned to his former character, an immature, unrefined person. Well, I guess it does suit his age, but we, the reader had seen him grow. Everyone was happy though, Jim was free and treated like a king, signifying the end of slavery. I guess the ending was not bad, as this was an adventure novel, allowing the reader to take the journey with Huck, Tom and Jim. I was expecting something more impactful at the end, or, maybe, we need to look at the whole book. The lesson, the journey, that was impactful.
I feel that Mark Twain had ended the book in a very common way! It had shown that at the end everything the truth will reveal itself and everything will turn out all right. Huck return to usual self. I believe it was a great story on how they had finally freed Jim and how Tom had to tell the truth to his aunt. The is a wonderful example of a happy ending. I think Mark Twain should insert some sort of a twist to the reader instead of the expected.

In my opinion i liked the ending, it all worked out well for everyone. Even though Tom was shot, he survived and Jim was captured but eventually got his freedom and Huck got adopted. - Christian Ordonez
ReplyDeleteI wasn't expecting the ending to be so simple. Throughout the book, Mr. Twain takes great lengths to explain scenes in detail. Almost to the point that it gets a little dull. So when the entire book was wrapped up in a few sentences I was surprised. I thought Mr. Twain would elaborate on how Huck got to be adopted by Aunt Polly or even if Jim got reunited with his family. But even with this short ending I enjoyed how Huck sends us backwards with the phrase "I've been there before" referring to his time with Ms. Watson and the widow. And it even shows a glimpse of what he assumes to be his future with Aunt Polly. Overall, I enjoyed the ending and thought it fit with the book.

ReplyDeleteKaren Baylon
How I felt about the ending, huh? I actually quite enjoyed "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." The ending surprisingly encountered with Huck and Jim's conversation about his superstitions of being rich, and gave the ending a sort brief "fairytale ending" concluding all three of them-Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and Jim- finally living "happily ever after." "Ef you's got hairy arms en a hairy breas', it's a sign dat you's agwyne to be rich..." "Well, are you rich?" "No, but I ben rich wunst, and gwyne to be rich agin..." (Page 48) Therefore, near the ending, Jim rejoices about the $40 given to him by Tom, and says, "Dah, now, Huck, what I tell you?-what I tell you up dah on Jackson'islan'? I tole you I got a hairy breas', en what's de sign un it; en I tole you I ben rich wunst, en gwineter to be rich agin; en it's come true; en heah she is!" (Page 323) It was as if Twain intended for the stories to come to an end euphorically for both Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn; despite Tom's injured calve. However, I feel it would have been more fitting for the story to be more melancholic considering the relations to Twain's traumatic life experiences. Though, I enjoyed the plot and the contents of its book.

Mark ended the story in a happy note although leaving clues throughout the book, making the ending almost predicable. It worked out good for everyone, Huck is happily adopted, and Jim is no longer a slave and somewhat treated as royalty. All lived happily ever after.

ReplyDeleteThe way that Mark Twain ended the story wasn't the way I was hoping for. I mean I thought that Jim will be free as soon as Huck and Tom help him to escape from the cabin, but no the people capture him. Then Tom was shot while helping Jim like how because it didn't give detail on how Tom got shot. Then at the Jim tells Huck that his pa is never coming back. Did he meant that Huck's pa is dead or left for good? It just made me want to read back to see what did I miss about Huck's pa like I want to find some clues about it.

In my opinion Mark Twain ended the novel well. It had a happy ending, Jim got his freedom, Huck got adopted and even thou Tom was shot he survive. They gained experience thru their journey and learn a lot about life. Although I was looking for more, like what happened to his family members and how would Hucks life be like, I was pleased how it ended.

In my opinion the ending was more than obvious! Huck and Tom help Jim be free. Hucks father dies. Threw out the novel you had clues that helped you get to the conclusion of that ending. Atleast Huck gets adopted again and is not left alone.
ReplyDelete- Genesis Ramirez
I believe that the ending was somewhat symbolic, on Huck's behalf. At the beginning of the novel we saw him under the care of Miss Watson and the widow, trying to be "sivilized." After everything that Huck has went through morally and physically throughout the entire book, he is right back in that same position of someone trying to "sivilize" him. To me this goes to show that Huck still is a young man with room for improvement, as if he is going to grow and learn beyond the novel. Leaving me to question what would become of him now.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the ending of the book, it was short and sweet, straight to the point. At this point of the book, your left anticipating on what's going to happen to Jim, and to find out he was already free was a relief. I think Tom matured a lot, especially after reading his explanation on why he didn't tell Jim he was free and created this unnecessary plot. I admired how Jim finally got to experience how it feels to be free. How it feels to sit down, eat and relax and have people cook for him and clean for him, instead of him doing the cooking and cleaning. The ending was also ironic because Huck traveled miles away from his home to only be stuck in the same situation of a woman wanting to raise him, which he is not fond of.
ReplyDeleteThough the ending was a bit cliche, it did tie the book together. I also like the way Mark Twain closed the story with Huck ending the book by saying "...if I'd a knowed what a trouble it was to make a book i wouldn't a tackled it..." because it gave a perspective view of a kid who writes about his adventures. I didn't like the fact the ending kinda fell short in explaining what happened to their lives in the distance future but it still gives the reader a sense that things will be normal again when Huck says, "I been there before". I would have enjoyed it more if Mark Twain gave some detail about there lives in a year after thier experince. Overall though this was a good book to read and i liked it very much.

I really enjoyed the ending, even though clues were giving to show you how it was going to end. Jim ends up being free. Then it is thrown in there how Aunt Sally is adopting Huck.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I enjoyed the ending. It was the happy,cliché ending that I was hoping for. Tom survived the shooting, and Jim got his freedom. I liked it but i am really curious to find out what happened to their lives afterwards. I want to see how this has changed them and how their lives came to be. But other than that, Mark Twain did a great job on it.

I think that Mark Twain ended the book well. Huck turns out to be good, Tom survived the shoot and Jim got his freedom. They gained experience through their journey and learn a lot about life.

In my opinion, Mark Twain’s ending was a bit cliché and it was expected. Jim was freed and Huck was adopted. As close to a fairy tale ending as it could be, right? Well, even though the general idea behind the ending was cliché, I believe the way Twain executed it lived up to the rest of the book. In my opinion the emotion that was not said, but was felt between each line of the book is what made the ending brilliant. Twain will always be one of my favorite authors because he was able to write such a strong book about racism and slavery and HE was able to abolish at least one African American from it. Even though it was fictional, we were able to see Twain’s standpoint on slavery and that’s what made the ending of “The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn,” marvelous.

I think Mark Twain ended the book to symbolize the end of slavery and he did that very well. I did like some of the humor in the story such as Tom's "bright" ideas, but overall, I did NOT like the story. The story wasn't very interesting, and the ending is just what everybody would expect of a kids' books, very, very happy. The author gave nothing else after that of how the characters went off to. I give it 4 stars...out of 10.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Mark Twain ended this novel really good. Throughout the novel it was well understood. It had it good and bad parts. Jim ended up being free and treated with respect. The lesson in between the characters was well written. They all got an experienced journey through their life. In conclusion, it was a well novel and very significant.
ReplyDeleteI think that the ending of the novel was good.Mark Twain doesn't really tells us what happens in Jim's and Huck's future but I was kind of expecting the "happily ever after" ending and I'm glad that Jim is finally free and Huck got adopted.
ReplyDeleteI think the way mark twain ended his story was simple for the reader to understand the ending. Im my opinion the ending was alright but could of have a little more detail. In the end everything turned out ok. Jim was treated like a king and was happy being free. Huck mature throught out the stoy and learned new things that will help in the near future. I can't to read the next story and see how the character changes throughout the story.
ReplyDeletei didn't like the ending because it was very predictable. would like to see how their life's are after all the problems they had before. Tom treated like king at the end of the story makes sense because of the abolishment of slavery. It was a happy ending but i expected more.
ReplyDeleteIts crazy haha, the ending was predictable, but I did like the book. Everyone got their happy ending. Tom is still alive and Jim got his freedom. Then the dad died...I know that sounds vulgar but im pretty sure everyone reading this book wanted that ._.
ReplyDeleteThe way Mark Twain finished the story was organized in very interesting way. The way Huck, Tom and Jim ended was happy. Huck and Tom managed to set Jim free, and it was a fair ending. It seems to me that Tom also might have changed at the end of the book, with the "adventure" they had freeing Jim. Tom learned and acknowledged Jim has every right to be happy. It is safe to say that this story had a happy ending with Huck being adopted, Jim being set free, and Tom having a different perspective on the way people use to see slaves at that time.
ReplyDeleteI liked the way Mark Twain ended the book though it was very predictable i really liked how it ended on a good note. I also liked how it showed how Jim was finally happy and how Tom, and Huck continued with their lives.
ReplyDeleteThe ending isn't a "happily ever after" ending like everyone else is describing. Jim didn't get to see his family, Tom got shot in his leg, and Huck had to go back to his normal boring life with Aunt Sally. Still, there is good, like Huck getting his money, Tom having a tale, and Jim getting treated like a king. The ending wasn't perfect though, I personally didn't like it. There wasn't enough thrill in the ending, but it wasn't the worst ending either. I feel it would have been better if someone had the died at the end, either Jim or Tom. It would've made a better ending if Mark Twain had added death, other than Pap's death.

Although how Mark Twain ended the story wasn't what i would expect , I am glad at the fact that every problem did get resolved. While it isn't your normal "happy ending" i say this mostly because tom got shot in the leg but luckily it wasnt anything fatal. At least tom acknowledged Jim deserved his freedom, but even though jim wasn't able to see his family he still has his freedom and that leaves the possibility open. Huck on the other hand Huck was back at his life with Aunt Sally and to me it seemed that everyone turned out all right in the end.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a big fan of the ending, it was too typical. Huck and Tom freed Jim, Huck was the "hero", and everybody lived happy ever after. The book didn't catch my attention much, a few chapters were interesting, but most were boring.
ReplyDelete-Jasmine Vargas
Even though Mark Twains ending was not exactly what I expected it to be, it was like a "happily ever after" for Huck, Tom (not that much for Tom since he got shot on the leg, luckily it was not something serious", and Jim. At the end all their problems got solved. Even though Jim did not have his family with him he was able to acknowledge that thanks to Huck and Tom he was a free man. Throughout the process of saving Jims life Huck's maturity level grew and learned right from wrong. Huck and Tom continue with their lives with a clear conscious and realizing that what they did was the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteThe way Mark Twain needed the story was good to my liking, I'm glad Tom, Jim and Huck got their happy ending. I'm glad Huck lives happily ever after and shows his new level of maturity and knowledge. Also Jim get his freedom and money. It shows a bit of ending to slavery which I liked. Overall it's a good book, it may have lost me a few times but I enjoyed it.

ReplyDeleteThe way that Mark Twain finished off his noble can be classified as a fairy tail. The way Huck Tom and Jim "live happily ever after" makes it more fairy tail like. Through out the story, and the events of Huck saving Jim, Huck has matured more, learned between right and wrong. Huck went back to live with his Aunt sally, and you can mostly say that everything turned out alright.
ReplyDelete-Sonia Villegas
In a way I did like the way Mark Twan ended this novel but at the same time I did not. I believe there was two sides to this ending. A good side but also a bad side. Yes Tom finally realized how Jim deserved his freedom and in the end got it. Though for Tom, he ended up getting shot in the leg. After everything Huck did he ended up going back to his regular life. Even though Jim received his freedom he didn't reunite with his family as he originally planned. I really would have liked if Mark Twain had a more interesting ending. I thought this one was alright yet very predictable.
ReplyDelete-Brittany Velasco
In my opinion I think that how Mark Twain ended the book was predictable and with a sense of justice for Jim and Huck. Even though it was less than expected I enjoyed how he brought peace to Huck by ending it with Tom getting shot in the leg due to him knowing that Miss Watson was dead. I enjoyed how Mark Twain made the book relatable to the time setting so the readers can connect with the book. Overall it was a great book and enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDelete- Savannah Ortivez
I didnt like the ending it was happy but not as happy as i expected it to be i kind of expected jim to reunite with his family and for everyone to make it out well but tom got shot the only thing i really liked was how at the beginning Huck is careless and immature and in the end he ended up becoming responsible,mature and well yeah i liked the book just not the ending
ReplyDeleteI felt the way Mark Twain ended the book was heart warming but I still have unanswered questions. The ending reminded me of a Disney story because Huck, Tom, and Jim ended up happily ever after. Tom could have saved a lot of trouble if he just told the truth like he did in the end , but no Tom always have to have adventure in his life. A question I wished was answered was if Jim reunited with his family again. In conclusion I was really interested in this book and can't wait to read the Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
ReplyDeleteMatthew Foley
Mark Twain ended the novel with us readers left questioning the future of the characters. Jim ends up being treated like an equal human, which feels special to him, which shows the end of slavery. Jim ends up with his freedom and money which he has been seeking since the beginning of the novel. Mark Twain ends the novel full of joy and happiness. In my opinion I don't believe that he couldn't have ended the novel in a better way.
ReplyDeleteDerek Fuller
In my opinion,the way Mark Twain ended the novel was satisfying. Despite the fact that it could've been better, he still did a good job and have the readers a sence of relief that all three were going to be okay. Jim gets his freedom and money,Tom gets fame and recognition and Huck gets adopted. You can say this was a happy ending and a good book. Twain did a good job.
DeleteI was glad to see that the novel ended on a good note. Throughout the book, we saw Huck mature and grow as a human being, taking responsibility throughout. Despite Jim’s rough journey, it ended the way I had hoped it would. Jim proved to be a good friend, protecting and standing by Huck, regardless of the various difficulties they experienced. Mark Twain ended the novel leaving Jim and Huck ultimately relieved from their troubles. The book showed how these characters grew while experiencing hardship, gaining the power to overcome such obstacles.

The way mark twain ended it was a happy go ending. It was just a little to typical and not very interesting but it was a happy overall ending.IM glad that Huck ended up being a responsible and makng decisions for himself. Im glad that they freed Jim and he went on to live his life but not as he planned though. For tom everything went well for him after he got shot in the leg. IN the end everyone turned out alright.
ReplyDeleteI personally enjoyed the ending, even though it was sort of unexpected. I really found interesting how Huck had to internally fight with himself with his morality and the expectations of society. I think Mark might have been this confused as well to have written this book. The way things ended with Huck was unexpected on the account that he was adopted by Aunt Sally. I really enjoyed his journey because it did not drag on with unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteMark Twain ended this book as any other regular story would, which would be in a happy setting. Despite the fact that he doesn't want to be adopted by Aunt Sally, everything seemed to play out just the way Huck and Tom wanted, kind of. Jim is now free from slavery in Miss Watson's will and Huck didn't have to worry about his father taking his money after Jim tells them it was his body he discovered. I would have never thought that the book would end this way, but I now believe that this is the best outcome that could have concluded this book.
ReplyDeleteMark Twain ended the book pretty good. Although it was obvious what was going to happen. Jim ends up having equal rights and is treated like an actual human. This book ends like a fairytail because all three characters end up living happily ever after. The reader can see that over time Huck matured and ended up being a good kid. This book insights on how thibgs were back then and how people were treated differently just because of their skn color. Overall this was a good book.
ReplyDeleteThe ending was great. I felt satisfied, and nothing really left me wanting more. I was glad the ending was a happy one. Despite all their troubles and misfortune (Tom getting shot, Jim being captured, and Huck's internal dilemmas) throughout the book, everything turned out all right. Huck was at peace and Jim was free. Mark Twain wrote an excellent book and an excellent ending.
ReplyDeleteI think that the way Twain ended the book was a good ending to a story that the main subject was inequality for colored men. Giving Jim the freedom he sought for so much throughout the book, it gives the reader a sense of happiness and closure knowing that he is no longer a slave but a free man who is going to be treated right. Also he has the opportunity to look for his wife and ultimately set her free. Twain has left the reader to imagine what Jim will do now that he is free. I thought this was a very good book with a very good theme .
ReplyDeleteAngel Franco
The ending of the novel leaves the reader with closure, but also a sense that something new will happen afterwards. Jim is freed, Huckleberry Finn's father is gone, and Tom wants to continue adventuring. Mark Twain closes the novel with the lines, "...Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and civilize me and I can't stand it. I been there before." which suggests that now that Huck is back home, he'll have to adapt to a new lifestyle different than the one he was used to during his journey.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I enjoyed the book, it wasn't an ordinary book . it had its good's and bad moments , most interesting moments.It showed the life style of Huck and Jim, and what long journey they took to find freedom for both of them instead of having to live under the care of someone who had no hope for them. The drunken father had no care for Huck, and Ms. Watson of course had Jim as a slave. The ending surprised me because of Pap's death and as well as Ms. Watson's death, and her leaving Jim independent. He went on that journey with Huck for a reasonable life change, leaving them both to a new and mature life.
ReplyDeleteThe ending was exceptional. My thoughts on the whole book was that the book wasn't ordinary. In my opinion this book was like a coming of age type of book. Throughout the book we say Huck mature, learn true core values and become a great friend. I give Mark Twain two thumbs up.
ReplyDeleteThe end of the novel was very unexpected. I think the justice for Huck and Jim is a good ending, after everything they've been through. He enjoyed the novel although I find some parts too detailed and too long which made those parts not as interesting as others. Also I like Hucks character a lot. He's a really smart kid for that time period. I think it's a meaningful novel, especially for the time is was published but even for this generation. -Dominique Briddell
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Mark Twain ending was great. Huck and Jim where able to reach their main goal,be free. Throught the novel both Huck and Jim had a serie of misfortune events. However they decided to stick together and get what they wanted, their freedom. "The adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was an amazing novel. It gave me more knlowdge of slavery and the desire if being free.
ReplyDeleteThe way Mark Twain ended the book was great. Throughout the book there was a bunch of problems and walls they had to jump over. Inequality with Jim and Huck being treated bad by his father, but evrythig turned out yo be a complete perfect picture. Jim is free, Huck learned to make correct decisions indepentently and Tom was well even after being shot in the leg. I like the whole book and the ending topped the cake, it was a good job on Twain's job.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I think that Twain did a really good job with the ending. I liked how he made me want to continue on reading and try to get to the end of the book. But just the ending by itself, I liked it due to it ending as similar as a fairy tail book. It as if everything turned out good with Jim escaping and Huck knowing that he had become more responsible. As a second though one thing that was kinda sad was that Tom got shot, I mean it actually puts more drama/suspense in the story so I know what Twain was trying to do, but in the end yes I did like the book.
ReplyDeletePersonally I enjoyed the ending of the book, it left me very satisfied. I felt like everyone was left in peace finally. Jim was free , and Huck didnt have to worry about his father . Although Huck did have his internal dilemas to face , he seemed to be in a good place . I love the eay Mr. Mark Twain ended his novel.
ReplyDeleteFernanda Murillo
I felt like the whole happy ending after the rough time passes thing going on was predictable. Jim gets his freedom and money. As for Huck, I feel as though it’s just him returning to his old life despite his maturity level now. Huck's father is gone, so he no longer has to worry about him. Although Tom gets shot in the leg, he survives. I’m not always fond of endings like these, but I do believe Mark Twain did a great job with this book and ending.
ReplyDeleteI did fairly enjoy this novel, but had hoped for more action in the end. However it was interesting knowing Tom Sawyer had helped Jim gain his freedom. Two important problems the characters faced were resolved. Jim was finally free from slavery and Huck was free from Pap. Overall Twain ended his novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on a good note.

The ending of the book in my opinion wasn't that great, only because it left me with a bunch of questions. I did like that in the end, (i guess) everything was resolved, Huck was free of his father and matured, Jim was a free man, and they didn't have too keep running from the law. But OK, it wasn't a happy ending in my mind, because it made me wonder what'z next?. I kept thinking is Jim going to ever see his family again? what happened to the King and the Duke ( did they rat out Huck in helping them) What ever happened to Mary Jane and her sisters? How did Huck handle the news that his father died?. Mark Twain did a good job in keeping the adventures interesting and showing how Huck had to chose from what'z right and wrong. But I cant help but wondered if Huck is going to stay a changed young man or if he is going to go back to is old ways, now that he is with Tom sawyer and (is rich) with a new family.

Mark Twain ended the novel very strange. The book had a happy ending, but it left us wondering and asking questions about what happens next. Is everything happy after all? Huck got Jim to get his freedom, Tom matures and Huck's dad dies, which is what i think he deserved for being so selfish and self-centered. Even though the reader might have unanswered questions, Mark Twain gave us the satisfaction of a happy ending and that's enough for me.
ReplyDeletePersonally I enjoyed the way Mark Twain ended the book, it left me satisfied. I felt like everyone was left in peace finally. Jim was free, and Huck didn't have to worry about his father. Although Huck did have his dilemmas to face, he seemed to be in a good state. Mark Twain enter the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on a good note.

I think Mark Twain ended his story very well. He didn't continue the ending with as much detail but he did give it a happy ending. The ended concluded with Huck being a mature adult Jim being free. In conclusion the story had a happy ending with Jim being freed and Huck being adopted. I thought the story was a little boring at the beginning but throughout the story it gets a lot better.
ReplyDeleteI think mark twain ended it pretty good Jim got his freedom and Tom survived. I like how after everything Huck turns out to be a good person. I also like how Huck and Tom still stick together at the end after everything I really have nothing to complain about the ending.

Mark Twain did a great job he way he ended the book even though it was very predictable. It was a strong theme with a happy ending where after all the adventures and conflicts everything turns out great . The ending left me thinking about the after story and how it changed their lifes . Once again the book was enjoyable and Mark Twain did an outstanding job.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion the ending didn't really grab my attention as i thought it would, It would have been better if Jim got to see his wife and kids. but on the other hand I really think Mark Twain did a fantastic job writing this book. I'm glad that Huck, Jim , and Tom had a happy ending as i expected.
DeleteTwain’s ending to “The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn,” was what I expected. Jim is a freed man and Finn is adopted. I believe it was important to end the way it did, especially with Jim. Twain expressed his feelings of racism and slavery by letting Jim become free. Although, the happy ending was expected it was needed. After all of the adventures and dilemmas they encountered, the both of them deserved a sweet ending.
ReplyDelete-Carlos Aceves
I personally think that Mark twains The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was ok and could've improved it a bit more.Nethertheless the author did give In-Depth details about how so much corruption there was back then, how easily people were fooled and lied to. and how how slaves were treated during those times in the south.
ReplyDeleteJaime Balderrama
I didn't expect what twain served to me at the end of the book. Fairytail endings just don't seem his style, i saw him as more of a realist i expected tom to die and jim to get away and huck to be a runaway forever. But no such luck. It was a good book though difficult to read in some areas but good. I do actually like how happy it was but also confused as to why.
ReplyDeleteI liked the ending even though I kind of saw it coming. I wanted something a little less predicting and also something unlucky to happen I don't know why. I like the way Mark Twain authored this book it was an enjoyment to read. I sad to see how slaves and segregated the country was at that time. How badly blacks were treated. I feel this book is great to make people look at themselfs and look at the way they act, their morals, and etc.
ReplyDeleteI believed the story ended well. It cleared all situations prior to the beginning and it was over all a very good book. Mark seemed happy at the end, Jim was free and got a happy ending. I liked the book a lot, it was really predictable though but it was over all good. I really enjoyed the characters, storyline, setups, and the mood of the book. Pretty much it.
ReplyDeleteI think that the end was in a way not very shocking as I was expecting but it brought peace and it made everything right. Jim is finally freed at the end and Huck is adopted that made everything just right.Huck changed a lot of his mentality, he also grew a lot wisely and got wayyy more mature. honestly i was expecting a bad ending, where jim gets cought and he goes back to being slave and where huck gets punished for his doings.
ReplyDeleteThe ending of the story is almost like every other. Yes there were a few problems but it ended happy. A reader like me was craving a trajic ending or somehow leaving you guessing. It was a good book but could of been aranged in a better order. This gave me a greater insite on slavery as well.
ReplyDeleteThe ending was pretty predictable for me I wouldn't really feel so shocked,clues were giving to show you how it was going to end. Jim ends up being free. Then it is thrown in there how Aunt Sally is adopting Huck. Even though Tom was shot, he survived and Jim was captured but eventually got his freedom. The ending was satisfactory.
ReplyDeleteEnding was really predictable by the way the book was showing its steps through out the the exiting. Jim ends up being freed by Huck. Jim gets shot in the ankle and completley fine. Huck ends up being adopted bu the widow he went to.
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about the way Mark Twain went about ending his book. well I did enjoy the ending there where some aspects that I was not too fond of. There is one example that is a double edged blade this being the fact that the last few chapters were necessary in an unnecessary way. The way that tom is so immature in the fact that he does not tell the truth right away. He hides it so that he live the fantasies that play out in his head. Thus showing how childish he is compared to a boy who is forced to grow up to soon.
ReplyDeleteThe ending of the story weren't really "shocking" or the "intense" type of ending i expected, But it cleared everything, as it brought "peace" and "justice. Jim was finally freed, and Huck ended up being adopted this also showed "Liberty" Mark Twain is a fantastic author, by the good job he did in this novel followed by many others, In this novel the reader could see the images on the book and how it showed every situation in every chapter. Not only that but it brought the way in how every character would act and be themselves.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see everyone turn out okay, but the ending was a bit disappointing. Though most of the novel is a slightly exaggerated take on real people and situations, the ending almost completely lacked a sense of realism. Things simply fell happily into place. "Old Miss Watson died two months ago, and she was ashamed she ever was going to sell him down the river...she set him free in her will." Jim just happened to be free already. Though I'm glad the main characters were happy and out of harms way by the end of the story, I felt that the way this came to be was inconsistent with the rest of the novel.
ReplyDeleteI think the way mark twain ended the novel meant something, in a sense a life lesson. the ending of the story brings the reader to the conclusion that people can change, good comes to those that wait, and to always have faith even when it seems the odds are against you.
