Although well written, the result of the ending is questionable. The novel surround the world of Huckleberry Finn, the protagonist is a young boy who only seeks for adventures. Jim, a runaway slave travels with Huck throughout most of the story. Unfortunately, Huck’s friend Tom Sawyer appears near the end of the novel and changes the whole direction of the story. Huck’s role in the book suddenly disappears and the â€Å"happily ever after† ending displaces with it. Most of the characters like the duke and the king seems to disappear when Tom Sawyer appears in the novel introduce new characters and forgetting the old. Tom brings in new personal which confuses the readers as he suddenly appears in the story. The story becomes unusual and tedious, rather than being trilling and stirring. Whenever Huck gives an idea Tom ignores it, thinking Huck’s ideas are stupid as compared to his superior idea. â€Å"Tom told me what his plan was, and I see in a minute it was worth fifteen of mine for style, and would make Jim just as free a man as mine would, and maybe get us all killed besides. So I was satisfied, and said we could waltz in on it. † This illustrates that Tom owns all the power in the story, switches the role of him and Huck in which he becomes the main character of the novel. â€Å"That’s all Tom said and that’s all Huck said† Huck is the main character throughout most of the book until the end when Tom begins to takes over the role. The story surrounds Huck as everything goes his way. Huck’s entire plan is for him and Jim to escape, and the readers usually can easily portray the plot.

Tom comes into the story and the novel becomes a copy of the first novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Huck becomes the shadow of Tom’s ideas, listening to everything he says without objection. Because Huck thinks that Tom is â€Å"smarter† than he is, this causes The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn turns out to be a novel which lures the reader to falling for a whole other story. The happily ever after ending in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is unrealistic. The ending chapter of the novel has a different attitude than other chapters, because all the problems are now resolved. The ending reveals that Jim is finally free, Huck’s father and Miss Watson have died. The adventure that they go through is now completely pointless, and everything that Huck and Jim is have been running away from is now gone. Huck has fulfilled his wish to escape and finds a home with the Phelps to become â€Å"civilized†, everything comes to a full circle. â€Å"Aunt Salle, she’s going to adopt me and civilize me, and I can’t stand it. I was there before. † Instead of focusing the most critical moment in Huck’s life after the long adventure, the ending is constructed and it seems the adventures Huck and Jim as it never happened before. In the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the last chapter takes out the meaning in Huck’s ideas as the main character which cause a ineffective and meaningless ending. In conclusion, overall The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn is a well written book in a unique use of language. However, during about the last few chapters of the novel, the adventures that Huck and Jim shares become pretty much pointless due to the ending of the book. During their trip from robbery, murders, new friendships, to their new prospective in life and people they meet through their quest for freedom. But by the end of the book, all of this seems to end in vain as Tom takes over as the main character of the novel.
