How Did Huckleberry Finn Change

When people grow they change, some for the better and some for the worst. People have changed all throughout history as they go and experience adventures or do something dramatic in their life. In the story Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, a young boy, named Huck transforms and changes into an adult. Twain shows how Huck's morals change as he escapes from his Pap with a runaway slave named Jim. Likewise, because Huck's father raised him with such little morals, he was able to learn much more about himself and others. Finally, because of Jim, Huck gets a new perspective on others and their lives. This causes his morals and stance to change, and he starts to grow up and become a man. Throughout the story, Twain portrays Huck’s attitude, morals,
Twain shows how Huck battles between right and wrong. For example, “My conscience got to stirring me up hotter than ever, until at last I says to it, ‘Let up on me - it ain’t too late, yet - I’ll paddle ashore at the first light and tell’’’ (100). At this point, Huck is feeling terribly guilty for helping Jim get his freedom. He struggles between right and wrong and for awhile does not know what to do. Later in the story, Huck learns that just because Jim's skin color was different, they still were the same. For example, “He was thinking about his wife and children, away up yonder, and he was low and homesick; because he had not ever been away from home before in his life; and I do believe he cared just as much for his people as white folks does for ther’n” (173). Huck realizes that Jim is not any different than himself. Moreover, because Huck was raised in the south he was taught that the black people and white people were different. This quote was a big turning point for Huck. Morally he began to realize that what he learned growing up was
At the start of the story, Huck is described and portrayed as immature. For example “Than he wrote something on a paper and read it over, and says: There - you see it says ‘for a consideration.’ That means I have bought it of you and paid you for it. Here’s a dollar for you. Now, you sign it. So I signed it and left” (20). Here Huck sells six thousand dollars for only one dollar. He does not even realize what he did, and this shows how immature he was. As the story continues, Huck learns and gets more mature. For example, “I says to myself, this is another one that I’m letting him rob her of her money. And when she got through they all jest laid theirselves out to make me feel at home and know I was amongst friends. I felt so ornery and low down and mean that I says to myself, my mind’s made up; I’ll hive that money for them or bust” (195-196). This quote shows that Huck has matured. He is now aware of consequences, and he feels at fault for letting the King and Duke rob the Wilk girls of their money. This quote is a large difference from the beginning of the story where he did not seem to care at all for
