Chapter+13+Summary

In chapter 13, Tom starts out thinking that he is very lonely and friendless. He didn't think that ANYONE loved him. He meets Joe Harper as he is walking down Meadow Lane. They both hear the school bell and realize that this would be the last time they ever hear that sound. Tom and Joe were running away. Tom and Joe hurry to the shores and paddle off on a raft. When they reach an island close by, the boys find Huckleberry Finn waiting for them with stolen food. The three prepared their dinner and talked about the journey. After the fire was put out and the dinner was eaten, Tom, Joe, and Huck share their thoughts of the island and the life they left. Then, they soon drift off to sleep.
