The Mississippi River

　　For Huck and Jim, the Mississippi River is the ultimate(完全的)symbol of freedom．Alone on their raft, they do not have to answer to anyone．The river carries them toward freedom：for Jim, toward the free states; for Huck, away from his abusive(虐待的)father and the restrictive(限制性的)“civilizing” of St．Petersburg．Much like the river itself, Huck and Jim are in flux(不断变化着),willing to change their attitudes about each other with little prompting(鼓励)．Despite their freedom, however, they soon find that they are not completely free from the evils(邪恶)and influences of the towns on the river’s banks．Even early on, the real world intrudes(侵入)on the paradise of the raft：the river floods, bringing Huck and Jim into contact with criminals, wrecks, and stolen goods．Then, a thick fog causes them to miss the mouth of the Ohio River, which is to be their route to freedom．

　　As the novel progresses, then, the river becomes something other than the inherently(天性上)benevolent(慈善的)place Huck originally thought it was．As Huck and Jim move further south, the duke and the dauphin(皇太子)invade the raft, and Huck and Jim must spend more time ashore．Though the river continues to offer a refuge(避难所)from trouble, it brings them to drift southward, toward the Deep South and entrenched(确立了的)slavery．As Huck and Jim’s journey progresses, the river, which once seemed a paradise and a source of freedom, becomes merely a short-term means of escape that pushes Huck and Jim ever further toward danger and destruction．

Question：

Why do Huck and Jim drift on the River?

阅读理解。
     The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpiece
written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. The story line
is simple.  The book is like a biography (自传)  of a summer in
Tom Sawyer's life.
     Tom Sawyer is a smart but naughty young boy living in the
small town on the Mississippi River. He is an orphan and lives
with his aunt. He has many clever ideas,but doesn't like school,
and always likes to escape the school to fish. Tom has a trusted
friend,Huck Finn,who few of the adults approve of. Tom Sawyer
and Finn have great adventures on the Mississippi River,
pretending to be pirates, attending their own funeral, and
witnessing a murder. Tom overcomes fear and appears in court and
speaks out the murderer. He and his friends finally discover a lot
of treasures and they become millionaires...
      Mark Twain's writing was based on his own childhood and his
personal experience. What makes this story great is that Tom
Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. It is a
story filled with action,adventure,ingenious (巧妙的)  ideas,love,
and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication
of what Twain did or wishes he did during his childhood.
     The book is a little difficult to read at first. Perhaps,it will
take you a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the
book. But on the whole,the book is an enjoyable read for people of
all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking forward
to feeling young again.
