Explanation:
In "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" Huck runs away from home using the Mississippi River. Huck runs away because his father is an extremely violent and abusive man that makes Huck very unhappy and does not have a happy and fun childhood.
When Huck runs away, he is free of everything bad that his father puts in his life and across the river he gets freedom and lives many adventures where he learns a lot about life.
