How does the newest anecdote of the two con artists continue to reveal the tension between the maturity AND immaturity of Huck's perspective and voice?
Hey Diary,
Now I didn't understand why Huck and Jim are pretending to the cons, "Oh yeah you're these famous people." At first it confused me as to why he would choose to be
an idiot, in my opinion. Why does he agree to serve them like they are royalty? All of the people in the boat know they are lying, but they continue to act like they're
stars. It seems like an immature thing; why would you allow these people to act and get whatever they want? On the other hand, it is kind of a mature thing.
Your best friend is a slave, and if he brought up the lie, it might cause problems. This
game of pretending is very mature of him. I am torn; I do not know which side he is
on: maturity or immaturity. Maybe Huck is both of them.
