Huckleberry Finn

Huck Discussion Questions XXXI - XXXV

#1
Yes, because
He realizes he would literally go to hell for Jim, although he knows he is doing something wrong by running away with Jim (he is stealing someone's property), he is completely against society now; he decides to actually steal Jim

#2
He literally thinks he'll go to hell. He decides to help Jim, though.

#3
Again, Huck is reborn; he finally took a stand. The theme of death and rebirth is continued.

#4
"Providence always put the right words in my mouth."Huck sort of becomes religious with his sentence, he believes in fate. As long as he doesn't force his destiny, it will guide him through everything. Ms Watson probably would agree because she is a very religious person.

#5
He makes up a story again; she doesn't even think about the nigger as a human!

#6
Romanticism vs. realism, luck!, death and rebirth, freedom to form a plan (because he as access to insider information), help from Tom Sawyer

#7
Huck really wants to help Jim because they became friends, he feels responsible for him. Tom on the other side only wants adventure. He wants to experience an adventure he read about in his romantic books.

#8
He has a good heart. He still doesn't want them being punished this cruel although they haven't been good persons to Huck.

#9
Stealing is not okay, unless you use them for breaking out of prison.

#10
He thinks Tom knows what to do, he just follows him. He thinks Tom's way is the right way because he trusts his friend.
