The greatest men have overcome some of the most prominent situations in history but they have also been defeated by some. They could not be named the greatest without the trials they faced. Nelson Mandela overcame apartheid, Alexander the Great conquered the most belligerent fighters in war, and Martin Cooper made a wireless phone.

In chapter 19 of the novel, Huck and Jim come across the two men, who are running away from the law.

I’m doing my essay is over Johnny Reeves because he was one of the main characters in the story and there’s plenty of information about him. I also chose him because I feel like out of all the characters I can argue that he changed the most with all the things he did and went through. Some of the ways he changed was he acted completely different after joining the KKK and was doing awful things that people such as his mother would have never guessed he would do. When Johnny first joined the KKK the Klan went to Johnny’s house and “kidnapped” him and took him away.…
