Creativity In Huck Finn

Huck Finn uses his knowledge and creativity in the novel to escape his abusive relationship with his father and then fake his own death. Within the past year, my friend was getting involved with a guy that I knew was not a decent person. For the decency of these two people, they will be referred to as their gender pronouns. Across the span of freshman year to last semester, my friend was being psychologically manipulated by a guy who I could clearly see was toxically involved with her. Gradually across this time I managed to convince her of his indecency and awfulness through several methods. In the only class all three of us shared, I would constantly point out to her whenever he would say or do anything that would not be considered appropriate.

Also, due to my close friendship with her, I knew that if he said anything bad about me in her presence, it would slightly affect her opinion on him. So, during our only shared class I would subtly do things to annoy him so that he would say bad things regarding me to her, but not have a good reason, and from this she would feel uncomfortable about his unnecessary hatred towards me. Months later, when her level of involvement with him had significantly plummeted but still remained, I would constantly bring up bad thoughts or ideas directly after she had finished speaking to him, so that psychologically she would associate the idea of him with the bad ideas, as they were brought up every time she would bring up the idea of him. To present day, she is able to see how he is an awful person and is capable of seeing how across this time he psychologically “messed her up” even though I used a similar method of mental persuasion to give her a psychological push in the correct direction.
