Literary Reflections

If I could bring one character from any one book that I've read this year with me when I go to college, I would definitely bring Huck, from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, as a roommate on campus. The reason why I would bring Huck, is because I feel like since he had a rough childhood and was formally uneducated, he deserves a friend that he can count on for guidance, an that can at least try to make up for the happiness that he missed out on as a child.

I know for a fact that not only would I be able to help Huck, but Huck could help me as well. College can become chaotic and difficult sometimes, and in order to not be consumed by these factors, it may take some kind of person, object, or action, to help you. So by Hick being in my life as a friend, I feel like he can help me to remain humble and keep my head on straight, since he will, in a way be depending on me to keep my promise of being there for him. And in order for me to do that, I would have to stay focused and stay away from college negativity.

“Miss Watson she kept pecking at me, and it got tiresome and lonesome", were the words that were said by Huck, in chapter three of the book. In my personal opinion, Huck was not given the proper guidance and structure in his younger years, and it would be my pleasure to become a leader and companion to Huck, not only for college life, but life in general as well. I believe that it's never too late to befriend and genuinely help someone, after they have, in fact, endured a rough childhood.
