How does Huck understand right and wrong? How does he put this "morality" to work?
Querida diario,
I think Huck has a very strange sense of right and wrong. Sometimes, he seems to have a clear moral compass. However, he is also rude other times. For example, he snuck out of the widow's house to hang out with Tom Sawyer. He knows this is something that she would not approve of, but he does it anyway. At the same time, when he has a chance to get rid of Jim, he decides to save him. This is a very kind thing to do. He could have turned him in (because he was black), but seemed to value his friendship more. These seem very conflicting. I think he knows right and wrong, but chooses to do whatever benefits him.
Adios,
Evan
