Kidnapped
Since Huck’s father can’t get the money, he
kidnaps Huck. He takes him to a cabin deep in the woods. The Widow and the
Judge are trying to get custody of Huck and Pap goes on a rant about how they
can’t take Huck from him. Pap uses whatever money he can get from
hunting/fishing to buy whiskey. Pap beats Huck regularly. Although Pap lets
Huck swear/smoke Huck doesn’t like getting beat. One day Huck finds a saw and
decides to escape. Huck finds a canoe one day when his father sends him
outside. Huck hides the canoe. One day Pap
leaves for the day and Huck gets to work on escaping. Huck saws a part of the
board big enough for him to get out and is free. Huck fakes his death, gets in
the canoe, and starts down the Mississippi River. His first stop is Jackson
Island.
