The Righteousness in Huck

Mark Twain wrote of a boy by the name of Huck Finn. This boy was introduced into the story as a boy with neither morals nor a conscience; Huck is a flat out liar. He lies about anything and everything, even when he doesn¡¯t have to. He is also a trouble maker; sneaking out at night and worrying the widow, playing tricks on people. Huck is a wild child. But by the end of …

…no more selfish motives. Plus, after he has done a bad thing, like scamming people, he feels bad about it: showing that he grew a conscience. Huck has morals; he has a sense of good and wrong. Huck¡¯s passion to free Jim and his devotion to Jim shows that Huck has morals. It shows that he loves Jim. It shows because of this adventure, Huck has changed into a good man with good morals.
