Do you think that ease does not challenge us and that we need adversity to help us discover who we are? Adversity determines one's potential capabilities, strengthens personal values, and gives us a feeling of self-worth, thus from this form of education adversity develops one’s inner growth and moral values. We see this portrayed through the main character of Huckleberry Finn in the episodic novel “the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain and contemporary Australian film “beneath clouds” by Ivan Sen.
Huck is obviously the picaro in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. A picaro is defined as, "a low-born but clever individual who wanders into and out of various affairs of love, danger, and farcical intrigue. These involvements may take place at all social levels and typically present a humorous and wide-ranging satire of a given society" (The Gale Group). Huck fits this definition perfectly. Huck isn't accepted by society and doesn't even want to be. He is most comfortable out on his own in the frontier
“Advise and counsel him; if he does not listen, let adversity teach him.” Huck isn't accepted by society and doesn't even want to be. He is most comfortable out on his own in the frontier. Furthermore, when the Widow Douglas takes him in and tries to provide him with a good life he doesn't want any part of it: The Widow Douglas she took me for her son and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways, and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied.
