Reaction to Huck Finn overall

After finally finishing the novel "The Adventures of Huckeberry Finn" by Twain i've come to realize that is very much depicts the South during the time period before the Civil War. Towards the end I was very much excited that Huck finally realized that Jim was indeed a regular human being like himself and everyone else, but little did I know that was all going to change as soon as society stepped in once again. As soon as Tom Saywer came back, it's as if Huck lost all his discoveries and lessons he learned while in the river with Jim. It was as if all these lessons and the whole entire journey were pointless. That is what I thought of about the story, not about the bigger picture behind it all. I believe Twain wrote the ending because he wanted to get the point across that even though many people did have revolutionary ideas of slavery to be abolished and that it was a mortal sin, no one really did anything to stop it. It all goes back to the 'mob' mentality and society. No one had the courage to stand up for what was wrong, everyone just let society control their thoughts. That is why i believe the endidng was brillient. Througout the whole novel we were made to believe that Huck was really going to change and was going to help out him slave friend Jim, but of course society (tom) took over and all was lost. He went back to seeing Jim as property and how everyone else saw him. Even though he still had the heart to be able to see that Jim still needed his freedom, his mentality of Jim was they same as when the novel started. This book was a way to describe how the South really was and how people acted.
