Freedom: Capturing the way we think in both everyday life and Adventures of Huckleberry FinnThe thought of being free is significant in that it helps the person escape injustices that are being inflicted upon them. Being free is important in life and in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because freedom helps people escape what is being done to them. Not long ago I was at the local track escaping what had happened to me. I had recently gotten into an arguement with my mother and I was very angry. Ever since I was a little kid up until now my life has been filled with thoughts and experiences with cars. Just driving a car on the open road is freedom for me. After my mom was done with her incessant rambling, I called up my friend to see what was going down that night; thirty minutes later I was inhaling burnt rubber. It wasn't more than five minutes later and I was in the driver seat. It was my turn next, my heart was racing, my adrenaline was pumping. Like my mom released her anger on me, it was my turn to release my anger on the track. It was my turn to be free.

Much like I find freedom on the open road, Huck finds his freedom on the open waters of the Mississippi River. The night Pap started hollering, Huck decided he wouldn't take it anymore, so he "unlocked the door and cleared out up the river bank" (Twain ). The first place Huck thought of going was straight up the river to escape his father. Later, Huck is traveling the Mississippi River with a runaway slave named Jim. Jim is traveling up north so that he may escape the injustices of slavery. One night, they were feeling "solemn" so they got the boat "out to the middle, we let her out to about...lit the pipes and dangled our legs in the water..." (Twain ). Huck and Jim had found their freedom on the river. A person is both mentally and physically captured by the thought or pleasure of being free. Everyone has their own little outlet, for me, it's the thrill of being on the open road blasting through the gears, for Huck Finn it's being on the open river being naked and smoking a pipe. For some, being free is a hobby and for others, freedom is a way of life.

F-

You fail!



Why, just out of curiosity, did you post this here? I mean...I think I'm the only person who regularly checks the test forum for new posts. I don't think it even affects post count...

EDIT:Nope, no increase in post count after that one. I don't think. Lemme try again...

[MinisterofDOOM]

2075? Nope. No affect on post count.

[Rex]

Test Forum posts don't count and are mainly for the purpose of "testing" things like avatar & sig changes, etc.

My guess is he wanted to post that somewhere so he could access from anywhere as text.

Lets see if he explains??

[BB Turbo]

I didnt have any floppys or CDR's at my gf's place, so i just saved it here, so i can go in at school and use their own ink and their own paper. Clever eh?

[Rex]

As long as your other gf doesn't find out :O

[cnickk]

A+ great job talking about what you want to talk about even though subject was not appealing to yourself... me either..

[BB Turbo]

Heres what it looks like since I brushed it up a bit.

Tell me what you guys think now...

Henry Swasey Mr. McCormick English III February 9, 2005 Freedom: Capturing the way we think in both everyday life and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn The thought of being free is significant in that it helps the person escape injustices that are being inflicted upon them. Being free is important in life and in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because freedom helps people cope with the world around them. Someway, somehow, everyone finds that bit of freedom they’ve been searching for Not long ago I was at the local track escaping what had happened to me. I had recently gotten into a squabble with my mother and I was feeling very irate. Ever since I was a toddler, up until now, my life has been filled with thoughts and experiences with cars. Just driving a car on the open road is freedom for me. After my mom was done with her incessant rambling, I called up my friend to see what was going down that night; thirty minutes later I was inhaling the intoxicating scent of burnt rubber. It wasn't more than five minutes later till I was in the driver seat. It was my turn next, my heart was racing, and my adrenaline was pumping. Like my mom released her anger on me, it was my turn to release my anger on the track. It was my turn to be free. Much like I find freedom on the open road, Huck discovers his freedom on the open waters of the Mississippi River. The night Pap started hollering, Huck decided he Swasey, pg. 2 wouldn't suffer anymore, so he "unlocked the door and cleared out up the river bank" (Twain ). The first place Huck thought of going was straight up the river to escape his father. Later, Huck is roving the Mississippi River with an absconding slave named Jim. Jim is going up north so that he may escape the injustices of slavery. One night, they were feeling "solemn" so they got the boat "out to the middle, we let her out to about...lit the pipes and dangled our legs in the water..." (Twain ). Huck and Jim had found their freedom on the river. A person is captured by the thought or pleasure of being free. Everyone has their own little outlet, for me, it's the elation of being on the open road blasting through the gears so that I may leave the world behind for a few brief moments, for Huck Finn it's being on the open river being naked and smoking a pipe. By Huck being on the river, it helps to extricate himself from the hardships that are continuing on land, like his father. For Jim, it’s the dark world of slavery. Freedom is that little enjoyment in life that everyone has so that they may breathe easier and forget the problems they may have.

That's why I said it just to cause trouble .

[nismoBlueEyes]

Why would you want to cause trouble?

[MinisterofDOOM]

Why would you want to cause trouble?

Rex? Cause trouble? NEVER!

[nismoBlueEyes]

I don't know about that!

[nismoBlueEyes]

Rex, do you like to cause trouble or what? How much trouble do you think that you could cause anyway?

[Rex]

Rex, do you like to cause trouble or what? How much trouble do you think that you could cause anyway?

Was just being a wise arse, actually figured his gf never looked at NICO.

[gniknave]

How do you get a research paper done at your girlfriends house anyway??

[nismoBlueEyes]

by not paying any attention to her at all and having his head glued to the computerThat's how.
