This mission consists of “a journey that will take him more than a thousand miles downstream”(Smith 1) the Mississippi, over the course of which Huck and Jim experience adventure after adventure. It is these adventures that make The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn an enjoyable piece of literature for readers of all ages. However, it is not the adventures of Huck and Jim that make the novel great.
