Not be or to be that are the question

                I see a trend of internal conflict with Huck. Although he says he’s going to be a murderer or a robber he seems too kind and conscience of others. His kindness is shown in the scene when the “Dauphin” and the “Duke” lie about being Peter WIlks’ brothers. This is when Huck realizes how disgusting humans are. I also notice a development in Jim as a character. In the scene in chapter 25 he doesn’t want to be tied up in the raft anymore so he is willing to walk throughout town in blue face. This shows how he as a human needs interaction. I also notice Huck’s development as a character. We begin to notice that he is a compassionate in chapter 5-20 with all the events that happen but it seems like in chapters 20-25 he begins to show his true colors; stating how he is ashamed of humans and feels sorry for the Wilks. All in all I like this book, I enjoy the message it conveys and the entertaining character, like the old man and “Duke.”
