The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 32-36

        In Chapters 32-36 of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", Tom Soyer once again only serves as a problem to Huck. Especially seen in the plans to help Jim escape, the reader can see how Tom's childish nature and the influence of too many Adventure books causes him to think of things as an adventure rather than seeing the severity of the situation. The reckless nature of Tom's plan could have gotten all three of them killed. As a result of the level of maturity that Huck has gained through his journey, he is able to recognize Tom's childish and reckless intentions rather than going along with them as he may have before.
