Tom And Huck's Murder
Tom and Huck should tell someone what happened at the grave yard. Tom and Huck seen a murder happen at the graveyard and they ran away.

It was bad that Engine Joe was a killer because Tom and Huck have heard of him before and they both watch him kill Doctor Robinson. Killing someone is a big crime because you kill a person that did nothing to you if they did you don’t go and kill them you can reason with them. Killing an innocent is not good, and your family because they would miss you if you are in jail.
If Tom and and Huck does not tell someone what happen about Engine Joe in the graveyard he could find Tom and Huck and kill them both.

    Throughout Truman Capote’s nonfiction novel, In Cold Blood, Perry Smith and Dick Hickock are shown in two distinct lights. While Perry appears to have compassion and a possible mental illness, Dick is portrayed as a ruthless, apathetic monster. Through the use of vivid descriptions and changing points of view, Capote makes the audience see Perry as a helpless accessory to murder, while Dick is the mastermind. By establishing Perry as a “good” antagonist, Capote shows that although he did commit the murders, Perry’s mental instability and Dick’s persuasion was the cause—not Perry’s own intention. The two passages represent just how far Capote goes to make the audience feel sympathy…

When Huck lies, it’s a little more acceptable because he’s still young, naïve, and doesn’t really know any better.
