Make sure you use the River as the main point in the imagery section of your paper. Twain was trying to say the "civilization" was basically uncivilized. The river and the raft were there only safety. When they took shore excursions was when they got into trouble. The river was the only place Jim could be a complete person, and consequently, so was Huck.
