Huckleberry Finn Beyond the Line Essay

Do you think Huckleberry Finn would be able to survive in Philadelphia?

I honestly think that Huckleberry Finn would be able to survive in Philadelphia. I simply believe this because he is smart, has a good imagination and can quickly adapt to new surroundings. Huckleberry has the qualities of being able to live Philadelphia.

Huckleberry is very smart. When I say smart I don't exactly mean braniac smart, I mean common sense smart. Huck knows how to make his way around quickly and he knows how to search for food and other survival things. In the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain Huck was kidnapped by his father Pap, and Huck had common sense to escape once the father was drunk and passed out. Huck knew that he wasn't going to be able to live with his father so he had common sense to leave him.

One particular thing reason why I think Huckleberry would be able to survive in Philadelphia is because he has a good imagination. The reason why I think he has a good imagination is because back when the book was written there wasn't televisions or radios, etc., and if he was to come to Philadelphia he already would be use to not doing those type of things and he would be ready to find a job, and he will be ready to learn how to stay on his feet.

The last reason why I think that Huck will be able to survive in Philadelphia is because he can adapt to almost any surrounding or climate. In the book, Huck was living with the widow and he learned how to adjust to her lifestyle and the things she told him to do, and when Pap kidnapped him, he learned how to live with his father and adapt to his lifestyle. So if Huck was to come to Philadelphia I think that he would be able to adapt easily and quickly and get the hang of how Philadelphia works.

Therefore, I think that Huckleberry Finn would be able to survive in Philadelphia because he is smart, has a good imagination, and can adapt to almost any surrounding. If Huck can survive in Philadelphia, do you think that you would be able to survive in a diffrenet city, state, or even a country?
