Insight
This is another summary of the text using locations as the focal points. The map illustrates the main locations Huck and Jim visit or want to visit. The map provides a visual aid of the lengthy journey a small boy and a runaway slave undertook. The blue line is if someone today decided to walk the same beginning and end journey Huck Finn traveled. Mapping can be used in many ways to dissect the text of a novel and give a almost "3D" look giving the reader something else besides the normal text.Location Summary
