INTRODUCTION
Any work of art appears as a reflection of real life in a
certain unit of space and time. In this sense, the hero
of the novel "riding the Yellow giant" Hashimjon and
Mark Twain "The Adventures of Hucklberry Finn (The
Adventures of Hucklberry Finn)" Hucklberry Finn is
also, first of all, regarded as an image of his own living

XIX century). From the point of view of topochronos
(namely, space-time), the main characters of this genre
of the novel are distinguished by scalability, the
richness of the life of the characters with unexpected
adventures. For example, the artistic space in which
Khashimdjan acts as a hero will be specific spaces of
Uzbekistan, mainly mountain villages, an orphanage, a
garden, a street, a shrine, the expanses of Mirzachol, a
cotton field, a farm, a school. Huckleberry is depicted
in specific locations such as a house, a room, a
courtyard, a street, a mountain, a river, a forest, a city,
a boat, a field. But the space where Huckleberry Finn
lives, and the time spent in it, is considered akin to the
life of the protagonist with its cruelty, speed and
richness of unexpected events. “Thus, art is considered
a doubling of life. Life in a work of art, as it were,
competes with real life, enhances our admiration,
excites our perception and does not allow it to dull” .
Actually, this is the main task of real art. In this sense,
the tragedies experienced by Huckleberry Finn in
childhood, constant danger, wanderings give meaning
to life and the inner world of the student.
Topochronos, in which the main character exists,
affects the perception and feelings of the reader. She
teaches the reader to analyze life together with the
hero, to respond to the events taking place around
him.
“The fifth night below St. Louis we had a big storm
after midnight, with a power of thunder and lightning,
and the rain poured down in a solid sheet. We stayed in
the wigwam and let the raft take care of itself. When
the lightning glared out we could see a big straight
river ahead, and high, rocky bluffs on both sides. By
and by says I, “Hello, Jim, looky yonder!” It was a
steamboat that had killed herself on a rock. We was
drifting straight down for her. The lightning showed
her very distinct. She was leaning over, with part of her
upper deck above water, and you could see every little
chimbly-guy clean and clear, and a chair by the big bell,
with an old slouch hat hanging on the back of it, when
the flashes come.
Well, it being away in the night and stormy, and all so
mysterious like, I felt just the way any other boy would
a felt when I see that wreck laying there so mournful
and lonesome in the middle of the river. I wanted to
get aboard of her and slink around a little, and see what
there was there”.
In the picture, the writer tried to reveal the curious,
bold and mysterious sides of the child's psyche in a
certain place (river) through a flood and a shipwreck.
Tired of the same way of life, living in hiding from
people, even walking through small villages in the dark
to the market, sometimes stealing corn, pumpkins,
melons, watermelons, potatoes from farmers' fields,
spending most of the time on the ship, hiding from
everyone, and for the exhausted Huckleberry such an
adventure was a real novelty. By comparing two types
of life images, two types of topochronos, the writer

revealed the interest and desire for life in the inner
world of Huck. As a child, Huck has a thirst for life, he
wants to see the world, explore the world, learn more
about people. At first glance, this is considered a
characteristic of all children. But living only on the river,
on a raft, talking only to Jim is not enough for a person
who wants to live life with eyes full of love, a thirst for
life in Huck's heart. Therefore, when a child sees a
broken ship, his interest outweighs his fear. The writer
thus compares outer space and time with the child's
inner space and time. The fact that Huck's inner world
also has its own independent structure and interests as
a part of a larger world, and the importance of
impressions from the outside world in this shows the
importance of the issue of the hero and topochronos
in the novel. Therefore, the writer describes the main
events in the language of Huck, which also reflects the
impact of the narrator's emotional reaction to the
events, the image of the landscape or the wide and
quiet flow of the river on the image of the hero. As a
result, the relationship between the hero and the place
takes the leading place. This, first of all, comes out in
connection with the writer's way of telling the story.
Describing the inner world of the hero, both writers
reveal it in the language of the hero, describe and
describe the details of the external world affecting
him, for example, the situation, other characters, the
spatial environment, in the language of the first
person. Narrating in the first person, or rather, in the
language of Khashimdjan and Huck, allows them to
realistically express their mental and psychological
state. As a result, the hero follows the path of
recognizing external influences, external space,
characteristic of his character in one place or another.
This can be seen in the passage above: a storm on the
river and a shipwreck, a boy watching the unexpected
phenomenon of the world in the light of lightning with
a mixture of fear and fear, neither Jimnig's advice, nor
the fear that tragedy might await him on a foreign
steamer.
Through the image of rain and lightning, Huck becomes
aware of the darkness in his life and the light in his
heart. Every time lightning strikes, he sees the wide
river in front of him and understands the situation. In
the image of a wrecked ship, he is attracted primarily
by his resemblance to the tragedy associated with his
family. It also improves the efficiency of the
application. Therefore, the question of hero and space
also influenced the composition of the work. Just like
the narrator, he clearly describes every change in his
mind and inner world. This also ensures a mutual
communicative connection between the writer-image
and reader. At the same time, it will be possible to
understand the skill of the writer and his experience in
the process of creating a work. An example of this is
the large number of details and images in the plot,
which are very important from the point of view of the
child. But since the reader hears all this from the

language of the child, he assimilates it through the eyes
of the child. However, in real life, a 13-year-old may not
always be as bold and adventurous as Huck. Therefore,
the comparison of this unity of space and time in both
novels within the framework of a literary text shows
the talent and skill of the two writers.
Khudoyberdi Tokhtaboev expresses that his hero
Khashimdjan understood a number of social problems,
such as finding a place in life, gaining wealth by illegal
means, theft, cheating people, bribery, damage to
state property, hypocrisy, deception, fraud. In this way,
the novel focuses on modern problems. At first,
Khashimdjan began to eliminate social evils in his
village and school. Describes the period through social
problems in a specific space. So, the question of the
hero and the space together served to reveal the
artistic image of the entire period. As a hero,
Hashimjon was brought up first in a family, then in a
rural environment. Parental, sincere, simple and good-
hearted neighbors in these places serve as an example
and help in sharpening the will and thinking of the
hero. Then, due to his stubbornness, he goes through
various life trials. But his correct thinking, clearly
defining his goal and striving for it elevated
Khashimdjan.
We can observe a slightly different image of such
features in the relationship between the place and the
character in the example of Huck. True, he had
problems with his parents and friendly neighbors. But
here he thinks correctly, draws appropriate
conclusions from each situation, and chooses his own
life path. But here he thinks correctly, draws
appropriate conclusions from each situation, and
chooses his own life path. This way, Huckleberry gets
on the right track. He even sends them towards the
steamer, tricking the ferryman into thinking that our
ship is sinking, help him, in order to save the murderers
on the wrecked steamer. Huck mentions that it's a
noble thing to do, and that the widow who adopted
him taught him to do it, and that he also helps
everyone.
Mark Twain also puts several social problems before
Huckleberry, such as finding one's place in life,
ensuring one's existence as a person, loyalty to a
friend, sincerity, and openness. Huckleberry Finn as a
character, although he entered the work very young,
can show a number of positive aspects. For example,
Jim swims seven, sometimes eight hours a night. At an
average of four miles per hour, that's 32 miles, quite a
feat for a young kid. At night, in order to avoid sleep,
they occasionally stuck their hands in the water, fished,
said little, lay on their backs, gazed at the starry sky and
thought, thus they swam across the quiet river. The
most tragic part was that they almost never laughed,
and when they laughed, they laughed in a very low
voice so that strangers could not hear them. Because
Jim was wanted for murder, and Huck was missing,
dozens of people were swarming the towns and cities

along the river hoping to find the wanted children and
get the promised money. That's why these two
children swam at night, were quiet during the day and
quietly kept souls on the sheltered ground. The river
has become their homeland. The river taught the two
heroes to break their wills, to speak little, not to laugh,
and to approach any ghost or person cautiously, to be
alert for every hissing sound. Because the money-
hunting crowd can sell or kill Jim because he is black,
and return the boy to his father.
Huckleberry Finn offers to enter and see the branched
steamer. And despite the fact that Jim tells us that this
place is not a good place either, they move to the
steamer lying on its side. In the cabin of the steamer,
people named Bill and Jake Pickard were trying to kill
their partner, Jim Turner, accusing him of treason. The
writer describes the scene on the steamer very slowly,
in detail, in which Huck crawls into the cabin, enters the
bedroom, sits on the corner of the upper bed,
trembling with fear, without breathing, until he is
drenched in black sweat. And this is the atmosphere in
the cabin, where the smell of whiskey is blowing in his
mouth, when she does not fully understand what to
do, whether it is necessary to shoot a traitor or hang a
rope around her neck, half a step away from the
murderers, who advise her to fully reveal the pain of
sitting in a corner. Here the hero's psyche is fully
revealed. And then he tries to get out on the deck and
move on to his ship. But they carelessly move to the
steamer, realizing that he did not fasten it and let the
flow ship flow. An emergency situation occurs. In the
wrecked steamer, two murderers and robbers could
find and shoot them at any moment. On this side, his
boat has leaked. In such a situation, they hang on the
surface of a wrecked ship, go around it and run away
on a pirate boat. The writer's childish interest in the
haunted ship, followed by the loss of his own ship and
escape from the Bill gang, further exacerbates the
tension in the development of events, taking the
steamer as a space.
In general, Huck, passing through various artistic
spaces as a hero, begins to be persistent, strong. The
value of life begins to realize that good people are a
minority. He begins to set great goals for himself. He
eventually returns to his adopted home again. Now he
understands a lot, his mind is quite full, he thinks
independently, and the important thing is that
Douglas's widow legally adopts him as a son, and the
boy agrees. Because in real life, in the poor society of
the USA at that time, there was no day for neglected
children like Huckleberry. The boy understood this
bitter truth deeply through the adventures he had
experienced.
