Buck and Huck

While Huck and Jim are floating down the river, a steamboat hits their raft. Huck and Jim got separated when this occurred. When Huck arrived back on land, he came across the Grangerford family. They took him in and offered him a place to stay for as long as he would like. The Grangerford’s have a son named Buck. Huck and Buck have several similarities. The biggest similarity is that they are both approximately the same age and are also about the same size. They also share the same personalities. Both Huck and Buck are adventurous. Buck’s family, the Grangerford’s, is in a feud with the Shepherdson family. Buck always says how he wants to capture and kill a person that is a part of the Sheperdson family. This also relates to Huck and his attachment to Tom Sawyer’s gang. One of the main purposes of this group was to go and rob people.
