How Is Huckleberry Finn Selfish

Is Huckleberry Finn a wicked and dishonest boy, or a considerate and engrossing person? Huck is a main character in the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Huckleberry is a very caring person because he is compassionate, skillful, and very discreet.
First, Huckleberry’s character shows that he is compassionate towards everyone. An example of this is when Huckleberry came across a wrecked steamboat in the river. Huck decides to check it out and as he got aboard Huck heard voices saying, “‘Oh please don’t boys; I swear I won’t ever tell!’” (p. 67). He then a heard a reply“‘It’s a lie, Jim Turner … You always want more’n your share of the truck’” (p. 66). Huckleberry, being inquisitive, found himself observing the scene. He
This procedure makes Huckleberry Finn very skillful. The situation starts with Pap inclining to insulting after drinking too much. At that point, Huck decides to leave that part of his life behind. The only problem was to get out without being caught. The only reasonable explanation was to fake his death. He started with taking “ … the sack of corn meal and took it to where the canoe was hid” (p. 32). He took the corn meal, as well as other food and ammunition also. Then the real difficult part started. Huck had dug a hole before anything. He did this and removing his tracks he “ … covered up the smoothness and the sawdust. Then … fixed the piece of log” (p. 32). After all of this, Huckleberry was still not close to being finished. He then “ … took the axe and smashed in the door. I beat it and hacked it considerable” (p. 33). He did this to suggest that someone else was breaking in at the time. Huckleberry then said
Although at times it does not seem so, he regularly fixes his mistakes. An example of this behavior is when Huck and Jim's raft obtains damage hit by the steam boat. When Jim and Huck get detached from each other Huck decides to deceit Jim by convincing him that he has “‘ … been a-drinking?” (p. 83). This statement causes Jim to grow into perplexity over what really transpired. After keeping up this trick Huck finally conveys the truth. Jim shaken says “‘ … callin’ for you, en went to sleep, my heart wuz mos’ broke bekase you wuz los’, en I didn’t k’yer no mo’ what become er me en de raf’. En when I wake up en fine you back ag’in, all safe en soun’, de tears come, en I could’ a’ got down on my knees en kiss yo’ foot, I’s so thankful. En all you wuz thinkin’ ‘bout wuz how you could make a fool uv ole Jim wid a lie’” (p. 85). After realizing how much Jim cares Huck feels so horrendous he says “ It made me feel so mean I could almost kissed his foot to get him to take it back” (p. 86). As time passed Huck says “ … I could work myself up to go and humble myself to a nigger; but I done it, and I warn’t ever sorry for it afterward, neither. I didn’t do him no more mean tricks” (p. 86). This statement shows that Huck actually went against society's opinions just to apologize. Huckleberry actually does care what he says and how others take
