How Did Huckleberry Finn Change
This play was very confusing to me; it took me a while to understand it. I read it twice from beginning to end. In the reading, I noticed how Huckleberry Finns’ personality changed, and did a total 360. Even I was confused, I didn’t think he had it in him. However, I will express in the paper when and why Huckleberry decided to make this change.
Huckleberry Finn was a mean, non-responsible young little boy that continuously lied all the time. Later on, in the novel he morphs into a man of respect. I use the word “man” strongly, because it shows his growth from a little playful boy to a civilized human being. It wasn’t until Pap takes Huck to where he started to convert back to his old self (the mean, non-responsible boy). He starts back lying, and being mischievous. In the novel, Finn helps a runaway slave, and this is what brought out the couragesness and his reality of his purpose on Earth. However, Huck lies to all the people in the novel. He rejects telling fibs in the beginning of the novel. Huckleberry admits the lies in the book previous before this one, and it demonstrates that he is able to dedicate …show more content…
himself to the truth in the novel.
Huck all his life experienced how society created itself, he pointed out all the negativity in the world.
From what he based these thoughts on he rejected a normal life for a life of his own, which he created by himself. He didn’t want to be like everyone else, he didn’t want to be that civilized person, because on the shore all it did was brought him pain. Pap that was always drunk and extremely lazy was somewhat abusive, because Pap couldn’t contain his emotions. “Pap got too handy with his hick’ry, and I couldn’t stand it. I was welts all over.” This shows how Huck felt towards Pap unhealthy habits, when it came to raising him as a child. He was very uncomfortable and troubled by the conditions he had to live in on a day to day basis. Pap would even steal from Huck, and Huck became very aware of his fathers’ wrong doings that it started to push him
away.
It wasn’t until Jim (the slave), came along and showed Huck how a son was supposed to be treated and gives him knowledge that he should have already been taught. Widow Douglas was another person that Huck looked up to. She tried to cultivate him, and teach him the good deeds of the world; and right from wrong. I believe, a lot of the way that Huck was brought up, had to do with the wrongful choices he decided to make.
The development of Huckleberry Finns’ transformation is that he makes it relative in changing the lies, and allowing the readers to observe the events that Huck wants the people to see it; through his eyes only.
