"At first I hated the school, but by and by I got so I could stand it. Whenever I got uncommon tired I played hookey, and the hiding I got next day done me good and cheered me up. So the longer I went to school the easier it got to be". (Chapter IV)
"I didn’t want to go to school much before, but I reckoned I’d go now to spite pap." (Chapter VI)

<em>"At first I hated the school, but by and by I got so I could stand it. ...... So the longer I went to school the easier it got to be". (Chapter IV)</em>

These two quotes from the text of Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" shows the typical bildungsroman tradition of writers in their works. It shows the character's development and maturity from a low position of his life.
The first quote shows Huck expressing his hatred at being made to attend school, but which he gradually began to like, though not fully. He even admitted his liking of the school, saying it got easier for him the more he attends it.
The second quote from Chapter VI shows his changed attitude to attending school. Before, he went to school for his own good but now, he's even more adamant to be in school just so that he could spite his father. His father had warned him against going to school, getting education, threatening him that "<em>if I catch you about that school I’ll tan you good</em>". His motive now is to annoy and offend his father.

Also, they often have close ties to Russia, such as trade ties due to both the geographical proximity and to the infrastructure which was established while they were a part of the Soviet Union
