We explored both Twain's uncharacteristic use of coincidence with the reintroduction of Tom Sawyer into the novel as well as Huck's final assumption of an identity or character distinct from his original self. Nina did well in recognizing the parallel development of the identity motif both in Huck's allusions to death in his description of the Phelp's farm and in Huck's struggle to "find out who is" when he is mistaken for an expected guest by the Phelps. We studied how the morally developed Huck feels pity even for the tarred and feathered "frauds" who plagued Jim and him over the past weeks and again noted Huck's condemnation of conscience, a force he has been struggling with and against throughout the novel. As the ending chapters of the novel have been long criticized by the academic community, we then exchanged ideas on why and how the novel could be concluded at this juncture rather than by the following chapters that detail Tom Sawyer's elaborate but impractical scheme to free Jim.
