Answer 2

HucK Finn and Jim are trying to escape to a non slave state, but they are heading South, down the river, not North up the river. This is Mark Twain's expression of the foolishness and futility of a slave trying to escape, while the system of slavery remains intact.

Answer 3

you need to be much more specific with your question dear
