In the early chapters of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the reader meets many new characters who influence Huck's life and control how he spends his time. Huck has a certain view of each of them, and they can be organized into three parts, or worlds. The first world is St. Petersburg, where Miss Watson, the Widow Douglass, Tom Sawyer, and Judge Hatcher influence Huck. The second world is the cabin in the woods, which is largely dominated by Pap. The third world, which Huck has a particular preference for, is the world of Jackson Island, where Huck finally meets the runaway slave, Jim. Huck prefers the world of Jackson Island to the world of St. Petersburg and the world of the cabin in the woods which is dominated by Pap. Several factors play a role in Huck's preference for the third world of Jackson Island. Among these factors is his ability to express his freedom. As the story shows, Huck was an independent boy from a young age, he always loved being outside and experiencing nature. Additionally, the world of Jackson Island offers him security and peace. Additionally, Huck enjoys the plentiful amount of food. Huck views the world of Jackson Island as a place where he can escape the civility of society. He likes not having to clean his clothes or pray before eating. This element of freedom that Huck prefers in the third world manifests itself even when he was living a comfortable life with the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson. Huck always felt like he needed to escape, to get out and be free. On Jackson Island, Huck feels he has regained his ability to express his freedom, which was lacking in the world of the Widow Douglass and Miss Watson. In Jackson Island, Huck is not required to eat at a set time...... middle of paper ......ackson Island mainly because of his ability to express freedom. For example, he can go out and discover nature whenever he wants. He does not want to live with Miss Watson because he is not interested in her lifestyle and does not want to be the product of a religious household. He also doesn't want to live in the cabin in the woods, because of the hatred he feels towards his father's violence and drunkenness. Finally, if the circumstances of the world had changed, for example if Miss Watson was not religious or did not care about civil behavior, Huck might have preferred that world. Plus, if the second world of the cabin in the woods wasn't dominated by Pap, then Huck might have felt more comfortable there. However, since these settings do not present these situations, Huck does not want to live there, instead he prefers to live on Jackson Island..
