In a person's life, they find a friend; a friend to rely on. In my experiences, my friends and I would find hiding spots, play games, and most importantly, getting through life knowing some one's "got your back."
Tom's romantic life reflects on many people, and most of those people needed some time to get away from ordinary life, but for Tom, his life was what we consider a romanticism. He went through everyday life having a friend to support him and make his decisions in life. One of those friends was Huck Finn. Huck went on many adventures with him. They went pirating, treasure hunting, observed a murder, and just had fun. Tom and Huck had some great times and some difficult times, but in the end they come out to be great friends.
Mark Twain had a certain theme in his book. Not only was it escapism, but it was the friendship between three young boys. Tom's life is just like yours or mine. We all need someone, whether it's a parent, friends, relatives, or even a little furry dog. Even though we are from different times, we all rely on each other.
