Huck Finn's Contradiction. Speaks of Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

In Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Huck was a boy who thought very little of himself, but had a huge impact on others. His moral standing was based on what is easier, right or wrong. He lived the way he wanted to live, and no one told him otherwise. He had the adventure of a lifetime, and yet he learned along the way. Although Huck has certain beliefs about himself, his actions and …

…alone, are mistaken in that he was shaped by people around him. He had not had time to develop his own sense of who he really was. Over his voyage, he began to learn that he wasn't lazy or carefree and that he did, in deed, like company. So, once Huck began to live on his own, his actions and dialogue contradicted his beliefs about himself. And I believe they did so for the better.
