Abstract:The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a great American novel, and also an adolescence novel. Growing up is always an necessary theme of the American literature. The publishing of Mark Twain’s famous novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn symbolizes that the American adolescence novles are becoming more and more mature. This novel tells a story about the adventure experiences of the leading character Huckleberry and the slave Jim going downstream along the Mississippi river. It makes us know how Huck grows up from a little child, and how he changes his attitude to Jim, as well as how to completely breaks with the so- called “civilized society”. The life experience of Huck reflects that the Americans desire to ger rid of the restriction of the European “cultivilized society”. They want to have life and freedom with their own real style. And the most imporatnt thing is that the theme of Huck helping Jim to escape represents Mark Twain’s idea, that is the negros should enjoy the same democracy, freedom and rights with the white people. Huck’s growing up and maturity is the Amercians’ growing up and maturity. Huck is growing up with his country. This paper emphasizes on Huck’s five escaping experiences, which prove that Huck is growping up in these escapes.

摘 要:《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》是一部伟大的美国小说，同时也是一部成长小说。 成长是美国文学中一个不可或缺的主题。马克·吐温的著名小说《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》的出版标志着美国成长小说的成熟。小说讲述了主人公哈克和黑奴吉姆乘木筏子沿着密西西比河顺流而下的历险经历。我们认识到哈克是怎样从一个孩子长大成人的，怎样改变对吉姆的态度和怎样同“文明社会”彻底决裂的。哈克的人生历程反映了美国人渴望从欧洲“文明”社会的束缚中解脱出来，他们想拥有他们真实风格的生活和自由。更重要的是哈克帮助吉姆逃跑的主题代表了马克·吐温的思想，即黑人应该同白人同样享有相同的民主、自由和权利。哈克的成长和成熟是美国人民的成长和成熟。哈克是同他的国家一道成长的。
本文重点阐述了哈克的五次逃跑经历，哈克正是在这种逃跑的环境中成长起来的。
