Huck, Jim, and the Raft
Captions available
The idea
On the raft Huck and Jim make a small society with its own rules; ashore the society they meet is violent and dishonest. Jim's dignity and grief are shown through a boy's narration that does not always understand them.
In practice
The raft against the shore.
Where people slip
Huck understands less than the reader does.
