St. Petersburg In the Book • Huck lives with Widow Douglas, who adopted him after the events in the book Tom Sawyer • Huck lives a somewhat disgruntled sort of life, unhappy with how Widow Douglas attempts to “Sivilize” him. “Miss Watson she kept Pecking at me and it got Tiresome and lonesome.” Kemble Kemble

4. St. Petersburg Today St. Petersburg is fictional, but was largely based on Twain's Hometown of Hannibal, Missouri Hannibal, Missouri Population: 17606 Elevation: 502 Ft.

A drunk and rather demanding man, he steals Huck away from Widow Douglass and takes him to his cabin in the woods. • Huck escapes with a rather ingenious plan, making it seem as though he had been murdered. “I did wish Tom Sawyer was there; I knowed he would take and interest in this kind of business and throw in the fancy touches.” Kemble Kemble

7. Pap's Cabin Today Huck's daring escape worked back in the book, but today, there may be some complications. • DNA tests would have shown that the blood was that of a pig, not Huck's. • Searching the river nearby would have been done faster with newer technology such as Sonar. • After finding out that Huck was missing, Networks of missing people search groups would give a wider range of search area.

9. Jackson Island In the Book The Beginning of the End During their days on the Island, a house washes down past the river. Inside, Jim finds a dead man, who is later revealed to be Huck's father. The entire ordeal that Huck had to go through could and would have been prevented if Jim had told the truth! Kemble Kemble • Huck meets Jim on the Island, who is escaping from his master, Miss Watson. • Jim was running from fear of being sold down to New Orleans. Although Huck has a bit of a struggle with his morals, he decides to partner up with Jim.

10. Jackson Island Today It exists...Sorta. • Right off Hannibal, Jackson Island is also known as: • Pete's Island • Glascock's Island • Pearl Island Luckily, it was Twain's name that stuck. Wetzel A neat brochure of the Island made by a fellow student: Jackson Island Brochure Hannibal Convention and Visitor bureau

11. Jackson Island Night on the Town • Huck dons a dress that he and Jim found in the floating house, and sets off to a nearby town to get any news that he can. • Huck learns that some of the people have guessed their hiding place and returns to Jim to leave Jackson's Island. “I had got so uneasy I couldn't set still...so I took up a needle off of the table and went to threading it.” Blown Cover Huck plays his part pretty well, But eventually the woman becomes suspicious. She eventually tells him that she knows he's a boy, and for him to confess as to what he's doing. Believably, Huck spins another yarn, but one more believable this time. Kemble

13. The Wreck In the Book • Jim and Huck found the wreckage of a Steamship on their journey to Cario. Believing that they would find valuables, the pair climbed aboard. • Instead of finding Treasure, the two discover a band of thieves instead. Kemble Meet the Thieves Bill Holding the Gun Jim Turner Guy on the Floor Jake Packard The other guy “Well, I catched my breath and most fainted. Shut up On a wreck with a gang as that!” Kemble

14. The Wreck What's in a Name The Wreck's name is “The Walter Scott”. Sounds normal to me. Or is it? Walter Scott Born: 1771, Scotland Died: 1832, Scotland Occupation: Author, Poet, Lawyer Steell Insult and Injury It is not out of coincidence or respect that the wreck is named after this historical figure. Twain believed that Scott's work was outdated and fit for satirical usage. Not only does he poke fun at him in Huckleberry Finn, but also in “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court” among other books Raeburn

Huck wanders off on his own and is first threatened, then invited into the Grangerfords' home. • Huck lives with the Grangerfords for a few days, but once a bloody battle wages between the Grangerfords and the Shepherdsons “Can you spell, Buck?” “Yes,” he says. “I bet you can't spell my Name,” says I. “I bet you what you dare I can,” says he. “All right,” says I, “go ahead” “G-O-R-G-E J-A-X-O-N-there Now, he says. Kemble

17. The Feud Shakespeare gets his two bits in. Two feuding families and a forbidden love. Twain doth critique much methinks. Notice any similarities between this section and a rather famous tragedy? Twain was in constant criticism of anything he could get a hold on, not excluding this well-known playwright. William Shakespeare Born: 156?, England Died: 1616, England Occupation: Playwright, Poet, Actor Danter Taylor

19. Nonesuch and Broggs In the Book • After a little episode in a congregation of religious proportions, Huck goes into town to spend away the day in wait of their performance that night. A man named Broggs was shot and killed by a man named Sherburn, which incited a riot in the town. • During the evening, the King and Duke put on a show known as the “Royal Nonesuch”, earning little money, convincing the Duke to attempt a more successful show. Kemble “Your mistake is that you didn't bring a man with you; that's one mistake.” Kemble Kemble Kemble

20. Nonesuch and Broggs The Con Artists Meet the Scams (Middle): Huck Movie Part 7 APJAC Productions The King and the Duke have had a long run of scams and schemes, first of which being known was the toothpaste and the preacher incident. Despite their claims to fame, both amount to little more than beggars and thieves. • Notice a few differences between the movie and the book, especially concerning these two; • The Royal Nonesuch was completely excluded from the movie • In the movie, the duo are introduced as working together, instead of being separate, then joining forces. • The Duke and King do not match the pictures and descriptions of the book at all . • The King's speech is more “proper” than indicated in the book.

The two conjure up a complicated plan to free Jim. A faster option Tom almost mentions it when Huck first mentions Jim; Jim was actually a free man. His master had died and he was willed to be free. Similar to how Huck would have been saved the trouble before, if Tom had announced this information, the events that followed would have never happened Kemble Kemble

25. Watch the End: The very End Huck Movie The End APJAC Productions The plan that Tom creates to free Jim works perfectly until the end, where Jim shows himself to help the doctor help Tom. Tom then reveals that Jim is a free man, Jim also reveals that Huck's father was dead.
