The last chapter of the book was a pretty happy chapter. Tom made a full recovery after he was shot in the leg. Jim is finally freed, and Tom gives Jim forty dollars for all of his troubles. Jim also once again relates his good fortune to a superstition of having a hairy chest.
Overall, I think that Huck and Jim would have saved a lot of their troubles if they had just stuck to their original plan. By going along with what Tom wanted to do, they got into more trouble than what they should have had. Tom wanted to rescue Jim in an extravagant way, just like they do in books. The goal of Huck and Jim’s trip is completed. Huck got away from Miss Watson, who was trying to “sivilize” him, and Jim finally became a freed man.
