This picture shows that part of Huck's Dream was to do what he wanted!
The theme that I chose to show was the theme of Freedom. This theme is shown in many ways throughout the story. One of the most significant symbols to Freedom would probably be Jim because all Jim wants to be is free. There are several other symbols to freedom in this novel. Such of the Mississippi River, the river showed that Huck had no destination and could float freely to where ever he chose. The Raft was another important symbol to Freedom, because it was the tool that would bring about the adventure that Huck and Jim would have together. What the Underground railroad was to the Black slaves, is what the Raft and the Mississippi River was to Huck.
Tom told me what his plan was, and I see in a minute it was worth fifteen of mine for style, and would make Jim just as free a man as mine would, and maybe get us all killed besides. So I was satisfied, and said we would waltz in on it.
This Quote from chapter 34, shows Freedom in the most obvious way it can, and that is through freeing Jim from jail, to contiue the journey to make him a free man.

This shows the freedom of which they want.
This quote from p.293 shows that Huck wanted no part in living a normal life.
But i reckon I got to light out for the territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me and i can't stand it. Ive been there before.
This quote from chapter 18 shows that they thought the raft was the best frredom for them.
.We said there warn’t no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don’t. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft.
