Answer:

Freedom can be best defined by the state of an individual being free of any restrictions in his daily life.

Huck and Jim has differing ideas of freedom, the former wanting freedom from civilization and being free to go on adventures while Jim wants to be free of his slave position, working for Miss Watson.

Both characters achieved their goals, as both ends being set free at the end of the story.

Explanation:

In Mark Twain's novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", both of the main characters desire freedom and are looking to free themselves and get themselves their own liberty. But even though both Huck and Jim wants freedom, their definitions of the term "freedom" is not exactly the same.

Freedom, in general terms, is the state of being free of the various obligations that mars the growth of a person and being restricted by the societal bounds and expectations.

For Huck, freedom means to be away from the civilized society that restricts him from acting or behaving how he wants to. He had to be given formal education, dress in a specific manner and live a domestic life. These restrictions bound him from enjoying his life the way he wants, and getting on an adventure, away from the societal as well as religious restrictions.

Meanwhile, freedom, for Jim, is the state of being free from being the slave of Miss Watson. He wants to be the person who is not under the obligation to work for anyone, and be his own master and not the property of someone else.

In the end, both Huck and Jim get what they were looking for. Jim, through the death of Miss Watson, had all along been a free man according to her will. And Huck, who had been fearful of the reemergence of Pap, had been told that he had died. The story ends with Huck deciding to further go on an adventure to the West, saying he's "<em>got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she’s going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can’t stand it.  I been there before"</em>.

Give two reasons why both men and women can be victims of abuse
Novay_Z [31]
Both women and men can be victim to abuse because not only one gender does the abuse both female and male is capable of abuse in many different ways such as physically emotionally and mentally abuse . Theres no better person when it comes to abuse but people should know when its self defence or abuse cause most people get the two mixed up . Abuse only happens when one partner or the other has low self esteem and always wants things to go their way and never have the time to think about the other partners feelings , because they believe that if they abuse the person it will help release stress and make them feel better about themselves  when in actual effect that makes them a victim in many different ways  . Abuse is not the way to life .

Why did great britain and france finally declare war on germany in September 1939
kramer
The first casualty of that declaration was not German—but the British ocean liner Athenia, which was sunk by a German U-30 submarine that had assumed the liner was armed and belligerent. There were more than 1,100 passengers on board, 112 of whom lost their lives. Of those, 28 were Americans, but President Roosevelt was unfazed by the tragedy, declaring that no one was to “thoughtlessly or falsely talk of America sending its armies to European fields.” The United States would remain neutral.
