American Self-Creation

In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck is compelled to adopt different identities in order to protect himself and Jim. Critics have suggested that this reality represents the American idea that it is possible to recreate the self when an old identity is confining. Write an essay analyzing this concept of American self-creation as it appears in this novel and in one other work that we have read in whole or in part.

Support your points with quotes from the stories (primary sources) and at least two sources from your annotated bibliography (secondary sources).

The paper is to be 1500-2000 words, and your sources must be cited according to either APA or MLA style for both in-text citations and in a Works Cited/References list at the end of your paper.
