Journal Entry 3-20-13

How does Huck understand right and wrong? How does he put his morality to work?

Dear Diary,
We saw much of how Huck's morality works in chapter 16. He was at first willing to give up his friend because he was a slave and black but then realized he was not able to throw him under the metaphorical bus. This shows that he is starting to realize that race is not the most important thing, but also that he has lived in a place where blacks and slaves were considered to be inferior people. I think that this shows that Huck has a good heart. Another example of him having morality is when he tried to save the two robbers on the ship by letting other people know they were there. Huck is clearly showing that he is willing to help others even if they may not deserve it. Overall i think Huck has a good idea of what is right and wrong but is still sometimes confused about how to deal with each situation.
