In this book the concept of black and white is expressed a lot. The idea that white is the light or the good thing and black is dark, evil. Slavery is still a big thing back in this time that the book is placed in. Black people are looked at as being underneath a white people. In the book Jim is an African American slave that is running away from slavery because he doesn't want to leave his family behind. Huck is a white boy but also runs away from his problems. No matter the skin color, both of them are social outcasts. They both struggle fitting in with the society. The struggle of being wanted and fitting in is portrayed in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
