30-35

In these set of chapters for Huckleberry Finn, Huck is still a "slave" to the duke and dauphin. Like I said in my previous post, he is a fly stuck in honey. That's still his case even when he was looking for Jim. It almost seems that the duke and dauphin have Huck under their thumb. After all from what I understood, since the duke and dauphin wants the money and seeing that Jim was a run away slave; decided that they were going to get "their" money using the re-enslaved Jim. What I mean by the re-enslaved Jim is that Jim is already a slave and the was re-slaved by the duke and dauphin. Huck being a good friend, starts to look for Jim. The duke finds Huck and sends him in the wrong direction. Although Huck knows the directions from the Duke are incorrect, the Duke following Huck is a way to show the enslavement that the Duke is giving to Huck.

I totally agree when you say that Jim was re-enslaved, it makes sense. He is just constantly being captured which makes me wish for his freedom even more. I feel as though no matter what Huck and Jim do. The duke and king just have to screw everything up. In my opinion, they deserved to be tarred and feathered. I think now that the duke and king are out of their lives, Huck and Jim can find freedom. I also believe that if Tom hadn't showed up, Huck would have a,ready saved Jim because Tom is making the plan more fancy than it nees to be. I hope the book has a happy ending.
