Huck is a very interesting character to read about. At some points throughout the book I compare myself to what he does. For example, when he looks up to Jim, who is an adult. Not many teenagers look up to an adult, since in our minds, teenagers are rebellious and don't listen to adults. I have the same connection with my mother as with Jim and Huck.
Now that Jim and Huck know that they have a lot in common they will help each other. They both want to feel free from the people that want them "sivilized." It is now chapter 8 and they are together finding a way to escape on their canoe to be able to go to a free state.
Their relationship is growing and they are finding more things that they have in common. I just hope as the reader that they won't endure more obstacles than the ones they are facing. Even though I don't want it to happen, it will happen, because that is what an adventure is all about.

It is very interesting that you attribute teenager's defiance of adults to their desire to live up to society's stereotype of the rebellious teenager. Is this really how you guys think?
