Huck Finn Essay Exam (1-23)

A moral dilemma Huck had faced was the situation where he had faked his own death. Huck was basically tired of the way he was being treated at his pap's so Huck took the matter into his own hands. Wanting to get away from it all that he knew Pap, Widow Douglas. Huck had but the cleverness of what inside of him get the best of the side of his outside so he staged his death and made it so that nobody could find his body while he escaped. Off away on a raft to Jackson Island.


My decision if I was Huck's shoes would be the same escape. So I argued both for his favor and against it. My reason for my standing in this particular placement of judgement is because escaping was the right thing to do in my own mind I was not being treated like a human being I would have left. But for his death of course it would leaves people who had nothing to do with his decision who are victims to be left as suspects to be blamed.



Since my decision is to argue both for and against Huck my evidence will in this case support would be how during the beginning of the book when Huck had faked his death then ran off, then he ran right into Jim who was also on the run. Jim was a person on default. People had placed out wanted signs having Jim's picture on their saying wanted for murder. It was wrong because while Huck was running off he didn't think ahead and think if he leave would there be any people to blame or will people be looking at each others wondering who killed Huck. A right way on Huck's behave would be he gotten away from the verbal abuse possibly physical from his father better known as Pap.
