Huckleberry Finn Body
Making decisions can affect a person’s life for better or for worse. Most people will decide whether to eat something or not, but most teenagers today will decide whether to complete their homework or not. Daily decisions consist of what a person will eat, who that person will talk to, where they decide to go, and the list could go on. Mark Twain, a famous writer, expresses decision making with the story Huckleberry Finn. In the story Huckleberry Finn, Huck Finn, a thirteen year old boy, makes decisions for himself, like refusing to have his money, traveling with his new friend Jim, and whether to stay with his new “friends” the King and Duke.
Huckleberry Finn, also known as Huck, had to make many decisions during his young life. One decision Huck had to make was whether to give his father, Pap, the money he had received or to just give it away. Huck made a big decision by “selling” his money to the judge, Judge Thatcher, so his father couldn’t get the money (Twain 17). After meeting up with his dad, Hucks dad takes him to his house and makes Huck live with him. One night Huck decided to fake his death by taking a pig and he “hacked into his throat” and “laid him down on the ground to bleed” (33). After faking his death Huck ran away to Jackson’s Island, where he meets up with a familiar face.
After a few days living on Jackson`s Island, Huck finds Miss Watson`s slave, Jim. Jim said that he had “run off” and that is the reason why he was on the island (43). Huck had to make another big decision of whether to stay with his new friend Jim or to run away from him. Huck knew that Jim was a runaway slave and that if he gets caught with Jim he could get in a lot of trouble. Huck made a decision to just stay with Jim and travel down South with each other knowing they are both in danger. As Huck and Jim travel along the river, Huck and Jim become lost in the fog. Jim gets very worried that Huck might have drowned and questions him saying “En you ain’ dead”
