The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn In the novel, The Adventures of Huckelberry Finn, by Mark Twain, Huck Finn opens himself up, emotionally, more and more throughout the novel, by talking, admiring, and opening up. Huck, coming from a very disturbing background, never truly experienced a loving relationship in any area in his life. Even when the chances come along, he holds himself back because of previous experiences of pain and hurt. At the end of the novel, Huck finally allows himself to open up to relationships with friendship, family love, and his admiration in others. He finds a "brother" in Tom, a "friend" in Jim, and he admires Mary Jane. Throughou
