Huck and Buck

Huck and Buck are similar in many ways. First there are the very superficial and surface level ways. Their names are very similar, with just a letter differentiating them. Also, they are boys that are around the same age, and they both live in a slave owning environment. Past the superficial levels of similarity, they have many things in common too. Both of them are raised in very nice house holds, yet they would rather be out in the wild. When Buck firsts meets Huck, he takes him into the clothing and starts talking to him a mile a minute. He starts asking him if he likes to get dressed up on Sundays for church, because he didn't like to, and this is the exact same for Huck. They are forced to live in the "civilized" societies, with all of the fancy things, and the proper surroundings, yet they both do not like doing the "proper" things they are told to do. Also, both of them are always up for an adventure. Obviously, Huck is always a child who loves going out and exploring, and is always looking for an adventure, which is part of the reason he is at Buck's home in the first place. Buck is also this child. When Huck and Buck were walking through the forest, and they found one of the rivals, Buck told Huck to hide in the forest, while Buck shot at him, and then they ran for their life. This isn't something a person not looking for adventure would do, rival or no rival.
