The Hair Ball Oracle

We decided it would be fun to predict the future for our favorite characters in the story, Jim and Huck. At the end of the book, Huck tells us that Aunt Sally is already trying to educate and civilize him. Therefore, we predict that Huck will runaway again and go out west with Tom. It won't be an easy task, considering how closely Aunt Sally is watching Huck after returning home, but one night Huck successfully sneaks out. He jumps out his bedroom window and Tom, being Tom, is already outside waiting for him. They both have knapsacks with food, water and supplies for all their adventures. About 20 minutes into their hike to Oaklahoma they see a huge bear sleeping. Huck tells Tom that they should just "walk away quietly" but of course Tom thinks it will be fun to wake him. The two boys end up in a run for their lives, which of course will make an extremely exciting story to tell Jim later on. Speaking of Jim, we also have a prediction for him. Now that he's a free man he wants to take full advantage of it. On his way back home Jim meets Hal, another newly free man, and his wife and kids. Jim and Hal hit it off right away and are friends from the beginning and they all decide to go find some land out in the woods and make a home together. Seems like the future is pretty bright for Jim :)
