Last chapter

This last chapter had many ups and downs. Right when there was going to be a happy ending, another twist was thrown in to bring it back down again. Overall, the story ends on a happy note, even though the journey was a tough one up until this point. When Tom is first brought back after a day or two of being with the doctor, I had a feeling things were going to turn for the worst. Jim was taken prisoner again,and this time with even stricter rules and had more people watching him. I started to feel really badly for Jim because of the fact that he was just made a playing piece for this game of Huck and Tom's, and when he was finally out, something happened that caused him to be brought back again. Luckily, the doctor made a comment about how good Jim was and how he helped save Tom's life, because if that didn't happen, Jim would have had much harsher punishment. The doctors comments made me feel even worse for Jim though, because even at this moment when he was free and could have gone off on his own, he stayed and helped Tom, which caused him to go back into bondage. When Tom was finally able to talk again and he spilled exactly what happened, I was absolutely modified. I thought not only were Huck and Tom going to be in a ton of trouble, but now the word is out on Jim, so he will be punished also. I couldn't believe Tom was telling all of their secrets so willingly, and not be upset about it. Of course, Tom had a reason for being so willing to talk. When I found out Jim was free, it made the story alot better for me. In the end, I think this last chapter, even though it was a battle, ended positively for Huck. One of his good friends, Jim, finally succeded in freeing himself, which was the main reason for Jim's voyage, and Huck had been trying to help him the whole time. It also shows how Huck won the battle of doing what was right vs. doing what was easiest.
