"Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Chapters 31 to 35 by Mark Twain" is a novel written in the late 19th century that explores themes of freedom, morality, and the socio-political landscape of America prior to the Civil War. In these chapters, the protagonist, Huckleberry Finn, navigates the complexities of friendship and loyalty while grappling with societal norms regarding race and slavery. The story follows Huck as he seeks to assist his friend Jim, a runaway slave, in achieving freedom, all while confronting the moral dilemmas that arise from helping someone escape the bonds of slavery. In these chapters, Huck learns that Jim has been captured and sold back into slavery, leading him into a deep moral conflict.
