Comparison Paper

Like people today, in the “White Heron” and Huckleberry Finn, nature offers solace to Sylvia and Huck as they face moral dixlemmas placed upon them by society when Sylvia has to choose between nature and monetary reward and Huck chooses between his relationship with Jim in the wild and the expectation’s society places on him during the time of slavery. Sylvia lives with her grandmother on a farm next to the woods and they do not own a lot of money, but she does not need that because she feels nature is the place where she belongs. Huck travels with a slave, Jim, on the river to get away from society. People today choose to live the way Huck experiences the love of nature because he can escape to nature from society to feel peace and relaxation.
