Footsteps symbolize a path. Path can go in any direction. They can move forward in small steps or big steps, and they can even head backwards toward the way they came from. The point is, the person gets to choose the path. Here in America, people get to choose their own path. They get to choose what they want to do with their life, and the path they want to take to get there. For example, Jim did not want to be a slave anymore. He escaped and now gets to choose what he wants to do with his future. This connects to society today because people still get to choose their future and their path.

The tree symbolizes growth. A tree starts as a small seed and then grows a trunk, many branches, and many leaves. People who are not free strive for freedom. They want to be able to control their own life. Once people finally reach freedom, they grow as a person. They have to be able to take care of themselves. That can include getting their own food, making their own shelter, and finding their own water. Once Huck escapes from his father, he has to be able to survive without an adult. That causes him to grow and become independent. When given responsibility, people must grow and mature to fill the role that they need to play.
